Second Week of "Anything But a Card"

We are anxious to see what you can creative other than a card.  The Design Team is getting their inspiration from Creative Cuts and More.

I love the way my cake box turned out.  I trimed the outside with some beautiful wide lace and for the top I used a Trellis diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs.  Using double-sided redline tape I taped the small strips to the top of the box and then trimmed it down to fit the top.  I feel I  tmade the box rather elegant looking and great for a special party..

I am also entering this in CDAC's "Anything Goes" Challenge.

Cute little purse with Inkadinkado sentiment in Ocean Blue ink. Rhinestones, ribbon and feather to finish it off. Pin wheel is made of a patterned cs with a rhinestone heart in the middle and of course more feathers.

For my second week creation I altered a plain black jewelry box. I need to give a birthday gift next week and thought I would take advantage of the "anything but a card" challenge to decorate the box which will soon hold some birthday jewels! I covered the black lid in gold tissue paper. I added a few additional layers including some decorative paper and a different patterned tissue paper. The bird image is from Itkupilli and the charm came from Alpha Stamps. I have a shoe box full of little empty jewelry boxes which I use for gifts and I think I'm going to decorate some more!

My tag is based on Tim Holtz's February tag for 2013 and uses a great Queen of Hearts image from Angie Delarie Scrapbooking along with various embellishments!

This weeks I created a banner using one of Creative Cuts and More Banner pages to create a banner for my Easter Market. I covered the pages with October Afternoon papers, cut scalloped circles and rosettes. The chipboard letters are painted and covered with Stickles. As embellishments I added little pearls and paper flowers. The individual banner paper are joined by bits of satin ribbon

Challenge #54 -"Anything But a Card"

Let's change pace today by having a challenge of entering "Anything But a Card".  Creative Cuts and More  has so many interest templates and decuts for you to decorate.  Let's see what goodies the Desigtn Team has made.

Vicki

This is a Peek-a-Boo box from Creative Cuts and More.  I embossekd the two pieces, top and bottom, with a folder and my Big Kick and then highlighted with Vintage Photo ink.  Doing this gave it so much body and made the cardstock look richer in color.  On top I put a couple of punched flowers, a lace flower and a butterfly.  A stone was put in the middle of the lace flower.  To give the top a little more interest I put a ribbon under the flower.

The acetate center of the box comes already scored to fit.  Inside are a few candies which I am sure will disappear as soon as my hubby spots the boc.

I used the milk carton for my project. Light green cs stamped with Inkadinkado stamps and Memories soft leaf ink pad, with a row of trim around the top. Sentiment on an oval with pearl embellishments. Tied closed with a green satin ribbon from Ann Griffin.

Michele

Well I never tried this before! I started with a "purse" template from Creative Cuts (I wish I'd thought to take a photo of the template itself). I decorated with card stock, sweet baby images from Itkupilli, pearls and flowers. I taped it all together and am pretty happy with the results. This is one purse, two sides shown here. Now that I've tried this I may get braver about making things other than cards! Hope you feel brave too and join our challenge!

For this week's challenge I recycled two containers painting them with spray paint, stamped on them, sprayed again and eventually decorated the containers with lots of lace and pearls. The little darling ladies are digital images which I layered on music sheets.

Challenge #12 - Anything But a Card

Here is a chance for you to get really creative.  Use a template, decorate a box, alter a frame, mae4 a coaster.  These are only suggestions to get you going.  The design team have taken a couple of the diecuts from Creative Cuts and More and made a couple of inspirational samples.

Vicki

This diecut from  Creative Cuts and More is actually a  peek-a-boo cupcake holder.  It is made of three pieces.  The top and bottom are basically the same with the third piece being a scored piece of acrylic.  Since  you can see through the middle I decided to make the box a jelly bean holder.  The colors of the jelly beans spelled "spring: to me so I created a springy bottom with a fence and flowers.  Some of flowers have a glittery stone on them.   To complete the scene I made the top to look like the sky with clouds which were punch and distressed around the edges.

Wouldn't this make a cute birthday gift for a child or something special to put on one's desk to hold those favorite candies?

Die cut box is from Creative Cuts and More, stamps used were from Stamping Up, Inkadinkado, and PSX . Box was wrapped in a vintage print then stamped with hearts and sentiment. Lace topped the edge and die cuts from 7 Gypsies were added.

Barbara

My first box is the trapezoid box with layers. I decided to try and create a box appropriate for a man. I covered the box with paper from a Tim Holtz paper stack. The leaves were die cut from dictionary pages and colored with distress inks. I placed leaves on all four sides and the top. I used raffia to add a tie around the box. At the top is a tag which is stamped, "beLeaf in yourself".
