Cupcake wrapper turned basket and a card.

Hello friends!

I hope your day is going well. Another fun challenge is up at Exploring Cricut and More, this week's challenge is to create a craft for Easter incorporating a frame. I hope you join us!


Today I chose to create a basket to carry out cupcakes. It can also carry jellybeans or other sweets =)


I used the TC cupcake wrapper and for the liner I cut another cupcake wrapper from Life is a Party to make my carrier a little bit sturdier. I used CCR Basics to create the handle and embellished it with gross grain ribbon. For the base I used a Spellbinders scalloped die with my eBosser from Craftwell.



If you decide to try this, I found that a good trick to keep the wrapper in place when gluing the base is using a "red liner" tape's plastic core to keep an almost perfect circle. =) Before attaching your base to the wrapper cut slits between each scallop of about 1/8 of an inch. This will help you to slightly overlap the scallops when gluing to the wrapper.


For my second project I created a super quick Easter card using Spellbinders and My Creative Time dies along with my FABULOUS eBosser.


Sentiment is Jaded Blossom. Paper is Core'dinations and Recollections. I used the card as my frame for the pretty cross.

Please don't forget to visit my DT Sisters' blogs for more inspiration!


Thank you for taking time to stop by, I do appreciate your comment, have a wonderful and blessed day!

Summer Fun Blog Hop, day 4

Hello friends, welcome to day 4 of our Summer Fun Blog Hop!                                 Don't you just love all the projects showcased this week? I am so lucky to be part of this fantastic hop I could not resist to keep on creating and today I want to share with you another Farm inspired project. This time I created a Piñata by recycling a box, using some scrap card stock, crepe paper, the fabulous eBosser, Xyron Corner Glue Stick, sticker maker and the X Tape Runner. I started by removing the flaps from the top of the box and then scoring two horizontal lines on the sides of it and a diagonal from the upper center point to the line on the sides. Cut slits on the corners all the way to the scored lines. Cut a small square on each side -just below the scored line-to run the rope thru them. Also, cut an opening on the back so you can fill it with goodies. Folded the new flaps inwards. Gl...
