Welcome to the first of what I hope is many Crafting By Designs Blog Hop! If you came here from
Tammy's Blog, you are on the right track. Our theme is "Wings and Blooms." A great theme just in time for spring!
I did two projects for you to enjoy today...the first is a treat box made with my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. I paper from the Roxie paper packet along with Black and Colonial White Card Stock. I love the butterfly. His lacy wings are cut using the cartridge layer function and I sponged the body with Smoothie ink. BTW, one of the fun things about the CTMH paper packets is that they include a strip at the top that can be cut off and added to a project. See the strip along the bottom of the treat box?
My next project is an 8 x 3 1/2 inch card. I like doing these cards because they are a little "different" and fit perfectly into a business envelope. This card uses pattern paper from the Lucy paper packet and the images are from the A Garden stamp set. If you attend my monthly workshop, this is one of the cards that we will be making!
Crafting By Designs is a great paper crafting website that encourages creativity and friendships. There are numerous challenges and lots of tips and techniques. Feel free to hop on over to the site and enter your Wings and Blooms creation in the Challenge section. Also, I have another treat for you! If you leave a comment here (along with your email addy) or on any of the participants, you will be eligible to receive a goodie bag. The winner will be selected from the comments placed on all the participants blogs on Tuesday March 20th.

Love that little box; beautiful butterfly. Hooray for mailable cards! Long format is great idea.
Love the swirls and butterflies!!
Oh Cindy. Your treat box is so charming and to think now I have another use for my Roxie paper packet. Love it! As to the second card, one word. CUTE!! I wasn't sure how I could implement Lucy package into a card only into layouts. This has got my head wheels turning. Thanks for sharing. Oh, must comment on the bunny card. WoW. That's really nice. Definately love it.
