CTO Challenge 30: Tall Card with Present - Gifts Galore

Hi everyone!

For the giveaway, please click here.

Welcome to another Celebrate the Occasion challenge! This week's challenge is to create a tall birthday themed card. In addition, it must also include a present. Ever since I came back from Vegas, I've been eager to create since I came back with a whole lot of goodies! My little nephew's birthday just recently past, and I never got a chance to make it before I left since I was swamped with things to do and events. So here it is! It will be off in the mailbox real soon since he lives in sunny San Diego :)

What a lucky boy he is! He received a mountain of gifts! ;)


Trail of Treasures:
  • Card base - fits in a 3.25 by 6" envelope, cardstock from Recollections; I welded a circle and a rectangle together for my base shape from Plantin Schoolbook and stitched around the card
  • Patterned Paper - Making Memories foil star paper (got 50 sheets of it for $2.99 from Tuesday Morning!)
  • Boy - cut from Baby Steps cart, face from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-451 Wide Eyed Kids 1 1/8" and I added Crystal Accents to the eyes, and pink chalk for the blush on the cheeks
  • Gifts - cut from New Arrival, and Create a Critter carts and some embellished with Stickles (Lime and Stardust). Other gift packages are Jolee stickers - I do not enjoy using the Cricut to cut out gifts :(
  • Banner - stamped and cut out using the Pink by Design Small Banners set, used a fiskars tiny hole punch, and used some blue twine

Make sure to celebrate birthdays with us this week! Have fun crafting!

Until next time's treasures,

Welcome Little One!

Hello my crafty friends!

I hope everyone had a great week! The weekend is finally here so let's hope for a relaxing weekend! Exams are coming up for me so I'll be swamped for the next week and a half..but then it will be all over! I cannot wait to CRAFT! :)

The winner of my first giveaway has not replied and I couldn't contact them since they have an inactive email so I decided to redraw. The winner is..#7 Janeen who said:
"I love your blog, so cute and full of inspiration! I love PBD stamps, Sarah and Mr. Pink Cricut are so sweet too! I'm a new follower! Thanks! :)"
Congratulations! I will be contacting you shortly Janeen!

Here's a sweet baby girl A2 sized card I made last December for a baby shower:


Here's a peak into the inside of the card and sentiment:


The sentiment is from a Fiskars stamp set. I no longer own the packaging and don't know the name of the stamp set -- sorry!

Trail of Treasures:
  • Rattle, bottle, and diaper pins cut from the New Arrival cartridge
  • Creative Memories 1 1/4 square punch for the three squares
  • Silver Foil Cardstock for diaper pins
  • Fiskars Baby Stamp Set
  • Crystal Accents
  • Felt Flower
  • Pop Dots
  • Pearl
The birth of a child is a major occasion, and we always need cards to celebrate that! I hope that everyone has a relaxing weekend and gets lots of crafting done ;) Even with exams, I am inching to create a card for several challenges next week! *Cross fingers* that I get around to doing it!

Until next time's treasures,
