Day Seven of the "Seven Days of Owls"

Good Afternoon Everyone, Here we are, Day seven. This has been so much fun. I bet you are expecting to see another Owl card today. Surprise, It's not a card. I found this on sale at Micheal's ($1.50) this weekend. I thought what a great little box to put cards in. All it needs is a little altering.

I added a family of Owls that I again cut from Hoot & Holler. This is the same trio of Owls that I cut for day five's card. This time I flipped it and left the leaves on. I also cut some leaves from the Cart A Childs Year. The cardstock and paper are all from SU, although some have been retired. The ribbon is from my stash. Don't you just love the clasp?

Here's a pic of the inside. As you can see there is plenty of room to hold 10-12 cards and envies.I hope you have all enjoyed my series.  Be sure to stop back tomorrow to enter for some unadvertised Blog Candy. That means I won't be posting a link anywhere.  This will be just for my followers, that will give you a better chance to win. Also cards that didn't make the cut and one blooper.

See you then, Jana

Spring Gift Bag

Welcome back to day four of my Seven Days to Easter posts. Today's project is a cute Cricut cut gift bag. I cut this using the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge and cut it using the fit to page option. The paper I used is from Jo-Ann's and is double sided. Sorry I didn't get a photo of the side view. It's approximately 1 1/2 inches wide. And yes it has two handles. I filled a cellophane bag with Easter M&M's and tied it close with a pink polka dotted ribbon from Stampin Up. The chocolate bunny stamp is also from Stampin Up. He was stamped using Chocolate Chip SU ink. I took a bite out of his tail end with my small scallop circle punch. Feel free to leave any comments or questions.

Until Tomorrow, Jana

Easter Egg Boxes

Hi everyone, can you believe it's Monday evening already. My weekend just flew by. I'm so glad I've had time to finish a few Easter gifts and cards. I hate all the last minute pressure to finish up.

I made this darling little candy box for my Mom using my Cricut and Design Studio. I filled it with the small butterfinger chocolate eggs.
A big thanks goes out to Cindy McVey for creating and posting this free cut file on her blog @ http://crazy4crafting.blogspot.com/. Her cut files are amazing. She also has this in a larger version that hold six Cadbury eggs. I added the embellishment and ribbon. I need to make another one and I won't be using this gemstone card stock. It's beautiful and cuts good but I don't like the way it folds. I should have known better because I had the same problem when I've used it as a card base.
See you soon, Jana
