Caramel Apple Cookies

Hello Crafty Friends!

 

I hope everyone had a great weekend and were able to get a little crafty!  I have been working on design team projects, hop projects, and challenges.

 

I've been playing along with Peachy Keen Stamps' weekly challenges this month.  The new challenge, PKC 13-39 is to create a card and include a recipe in it.

 

A co-worker made these yummy Caramel Apple cookies for a potluck and I just had to have to recipe.  They are a little work but so worth it in the end.  My kids loved them and I will definitely be making these again (soon).

 

 

Here is my card

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Oven Mitt card base is from SVG Cuts "Gingerbread Chalet" kit, and the apple is from "Miss Baker's Classroom"

Jaded Blossom "Candy Charms and Banners" with sentiment from "Winter Wishes" set

Lovebug Creations "Sunset" Rumple Ribbon

and of course

Peachy Keen Stamps "Wide Eyed Kids" faces

Cricut Crafts Blog Hop

Hello Crafty Friends!

 

Welcome to Crazy About Cricut's "Cricut Crafts Blog Hop!

 

 

Today we are sharing with you projects made with our Cricuts.

 

If you came from Cindy's blog, then you're in the right place.  If not, be sure to start from the beginning at Jenny's blog.

 

 

I have to confess that since I got my Cameo a few months ago I have touched my Cricut :(  Although I am really enjoying creating with the Cameo and svgs, I do miss the Cricut.  I have a few of the Project and Event cartridges, but have never used them.  I chose to make a birthday treat box.  I forgot how easy it is to pick a cut and cut it out.

 

 

Supplies:

Cricut Event cartridge "Princess Party"

Jaded Blossom "100% Princess" and "Royal Candies" stamps

Lovebug Creations "Simply White" Rumple Ribbon

 

 

Your next stop on the hop is Wandy's blog.

Birthday Camping Lantern

Hello Crafty Friends!

 

I'm back to share with you another birthday gift that I made.  Today is my older brother's birthday and he and his family go camping and hiking, so I thought this was perfect for him.

 

 

 Close up of the tag

 

A small battery powered tea light fits inside.

 

Supplies:
 

The lantern is from the "Camp Smore" kit by SVG Cuts, cut using my Cameo
 

The gift tag is cut using Jaded Blossom "Treat Tag Die" and the sentiments are from the "Picture This" stamp set.  I arranged a few of the stamps to fit into the center tag and then stamped them onto vellum.
 

The tag is tied using "Green Leaves" Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations.
 

 

I love how this turned out and already have plans to make more.

 

 

I will be entering this into the "Cowboy Challenge" over at Cameo Creations.  Every cowboy needs a lantern while he's out rounding up the cattle.

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!

 

Welcome to the Back to School Blog Hop!

 

You should have come from Beth's blog, if not, be sure to start at the beginning so you don't miss a single project.  The hop starts here.

 

 

Today we are sharing with lots of school themed projects.  My kids have all been in school for a while now.  My oldest went away for her first year of college a couple of weeks ago, and the two younger ones started back in July.

 

For my project, I made a little something for my youngest to take to her teacher, just because.

 

Here it is

 

 

Supplies:

 

The apple is from the SVG Cuts "Miss Baker's Classroom" kit, and is embossed with the Darice "ABCs" folder, and the Cuttlebug "Divine Swirls" folder.

 

The tag is made using the Jaded Blossom "Candy Charm" die and "Teacher Appreciation Candies" stamp.

 

And it's all tied together using "Natural" bakers twine from Timeless Twine.

 

The top of the apple comes off and I plan to fill it with treats for the teacher.  I just want to see if she has any favorite sweets first.

 

 

Your next stop is An'Jenic's blog.
