Button Bear Wedding

Buggy Designs Button Bear is just the cutest bear die on the market, that's all!!! Go order one if you don't already have this! And the new wedding accessories, already sold out within the first few hours of its release, is back in stock as of last night, so if you're on the fence, you better jump off and order this too before they are gone again!!

I used these dies to make this adorable place card for the bridal shower! I used the sweet little tiara and champagne glass to set the tone, and used the Classy and Fabulous stamp set by My Creative Time for the "cheers" sentiment across the cute banner die. This would be a super cute idea for a princess party, teddy bear party or tea party as well.

Please excuse my photos today - I had to use my cell phone as my camera battery decided to wait till before I needed pictures to tell me it needed recharging - you'd think it could have told me that after I took the last ones, but no. Sheesh. At any rate, thank goodness for my iphone. ;)

Here is a side view of the card to show the dimension of the 3D banner and champagne glass.

Button Bear, sold separately

Here is how I used these adorable dies on my anniversary card. Aren't they cutest l'il ol couple! :)

For the boy bear, I wanted just a vest, so I simply left the sleeves and lapel off the jacket and trimmed the bottom at an angle. I added pearl buttons to match the string of pearls worn by the Missus. ;)

The sweet little girl bear wears the bow tie in her "hair" and of course I left the veil off this time, but added a string of pearls. Her eyelashes are just hand drawn.

...it's Friday! My favorite of all the days God made. I hope I won't be going somewhere hot -- if you know what I mean! -- because I didn't say Sunday. LOL Nah. He has a sense of humor. ;)

It's Cricutless Challenge time with MCT!

Today's challenge is to make a card or layout WITHOUT using your Cricut, or Cameo, or any other digital cutter. Can you do it!? Get out those dies and your favorite My Creative Time stamp set, and join us! Be sure to link up your project on Emma's blog and show us how you did!

This week I went a little crazy and couldn't stop crafting for today's post. So you get THREE projects to inspire you. Let's get started......

First up is a card. I used a lacy edged circle die for my card base.

The sentiment is from MCT, Teeny Tag Greetings, the polka dot border is one of the accent pieces for the Easter egg die from the Hello Spring stamp set, and can you guess what I used for the flowers??

Again I've used the MCT stitched scallop and circle die set. I just love how these little flowers turn out using those dies. Fab, don't you think! Then I topped it all off with foliage cuts, pearl beads, sheer ribbon bow and punched butterfly.

***
For my second project, I made these cute jelly bean jars.

This time for my flowers, using the same stitched scallop die, I cut them from felt. LOVE them!!

I used the MCT Teeny Tags and Teeny Tags Greetings with twine for the gift tags...

And for the belly bands, two are pattern papers and two are made from paint chip sample strips {green pictured above; purple pictured below)! I wish I had picked up a few more of this style I would have used them for all four of the jars. Anyway, they turned out pretty cute!

***
And for my last project today, again going with an Easter theme, I found these cutie patootie little pink buckets at the dollar store (4/pk for $1 -in lots of colors too!) and thought they would be fab little gift buckets or mini Easter baskets.

Easter grass is super simple to make if you don't need a bajillion tons of it. I used one sheet of green tissue paper and cut it in strips with zigzag edges border dies. Viola! Easter grass in a jiffy!!

The teeny candy cups are also a $1 store find. They are plastic shot glasses from the wedding section. Ha! I put mini cupcake paper in the corner of a baggie, added color coordinated jelly beans, tied it off with a ribbon and snipped off the top of the baggie. Cute.

I again used paint chip sample cards for the cute tags {isn't that peeps bunny die adorbs!?) and the egg pencil holder, as well as the kool aid singles wraps.
