One of the ladies saw the wedding favor boxes I made and wanted them for her friend's bridal shower.  She just wanted the colors changed to white with a pink ribbon on half and a black ribbon on the other half.  She wanted it done on sparkly white paper, but they didn't have enough of that kind of paper at the store.  I told her that I could emboss a design on white card stock and the result is so cool.  The embossing file was a little bit too short, but it worked out because it looks like it was intentional.  The embossing stops right at the waist line so it looks like I actually did it on purpose.  With the ribbon there it covers the crease.  I had fun using my epic 6 to emboss this with 2 cricut embossing folders.  I cut out he image out with the make the cut software on my cricut machine.  I had to use the blackout feature to get the program to stop double cutting the image and cutting off the tabs.  After cutting out the image, I embossed it, then folded it and taped the tabs up and used a glue gun to attach the ribbon.  I think it turned out super cute and so did my customer.

Have a great week and remember to keep it crafty.

Hi there.  Life has been crazy.  I have spread myself so thin, I haven't been able to keep up with all the demands of work, family, dog, bills, and everything else.  I had to take a break from writing the blog until things around here started settling down, but now I'm back.  I'm going to try to post the pictures of all the stuff that I've been making, but haven't yet had a chance to tell you about.  There are a lot of new products in production at this time.

I'd like to start off by telling you about my latest project.  I had a friend ask me to make her favors for a bachelorette party with a theme of 27 Dresses.  I had never seen the movie before, so I googled the trailer of the movie to get the basic idea of what the movie was about.  27 bridesmaid dresses that some girl wore before she got engaged herself.  So I suggested to my friend that the favors be these dress favor boxes.  She loved the sample.  They had used several different kinds of paper to make the invitations, so we used several different colored papers to make the dresses and added some ribbon to tie them together.  Each favor can hold about 3 tootsie rolls....I tested it with some left over Halloween candy.  They were really quick to make using the Make the Cut software and the .svg file that I had.  I finished all 20 in one night while I was watching tv.

I need to finish writing the November newsletter, make some more crafts for Tuesday night, and try to fight off this cold.  The change of weather here is killing me.  Tommorrow I get to change the brakes in my car, and hopefully we can be driving around again tommorrow night.  Have a great week and I hope that you have an awesome weekend.
