Envelope punch board gift card holder

Hello! I'm loving this envelope punch board. Just when you think you can only use it for making envelopes, you run across tutorials that once you are done your first reaction is "ohhh" how cool is that.. Then you want to do a whole bunch more! 

This is one of my favorites. I've made 3 or 4 but this one has definitely made the top choice.

Sending Many Thanks 3x3 Gift Box

Sending Many Thanks 3x3 Gift Box Card Holder.

One last one in the series of 3x3 card holders. 

Thank you

I believe that everyone deserves a Thank you card once in awhile , even if it's for something small that they might have done for you. So I took a few moments and did a Thank you card in some subtle colors for a friend who is a wonderful person.

2 more draw string boxes

I worked on two more boxes this evening before finally shutting that craft light off and shutting the door.  I have been trying to make the most of my last late night up before going back to the horrible sounds of an alarm, after completing these two boxes I'm thinking that there needs to be more added.  To me it looks a little plain.  I might fiddle with them another time. These two were done within about 30 minutes.  Very easy to do.

Draw string Gift Box

Happy Saturday everyone!..This is my last weekend off before going back to work on Monday. I have accomplished most of everything and can honestly go back to work with the satisfaction of knowing a lot of my "projects" were completed. 2 weeks off was long enough for me!. I took some time out today and tried out the Draw string gift box that I posted yesterday. It was very easy. The only draw back I see is the closing and opening of the lid. It needs a little "push" shut..But other than that it's an adorable little box!

Die cut flip card with tutorial

The die cut flip card which we have all tried ! I love the flip cards but felt once you cut it there wasn't much room to add anything when it flipped over. So i did some searching and found a tutorial on how to make your own flip card using regular thinlit dies. 

Since this is the New Year and one of my small resolutions was to share more, I'm sharing this Tutorial, here is her card completed :

Pretty Fancy huh...I love the way it turned out

Now here is her website and tutorial to follow.

Crafters Corner

Here is the end result of my card following her easy tutorial!

A very Simple design and card to do...

Easily add a gift card inside and you have a completed card and it folds up to a standard size card!

Treat box for any occasion

Happy April!. Its been a tornado of events the past few weeks, however I have managed between changing jobs, preparing my son to take his Drivers test and training our crazy dog, to get into that craft room.

I spent some time looking for cute Easter things to make for the up coming Easter Holiday and though I found a few, there was one Box imparticular that I had to try.

Once it was made the first time I tried it a second time and love the outcome! I filled the inside with Hershey Kisses and gave it to a coworker, who was extremely happy!.

Chocolate can make anyone smile!

 

This is using DSP from the Sale A Bration catalog.

 



Thanks Big time

 

Hello Bloggin friends! Is everyone keeping up to date on the Sale A Bration from Stampin Up?. Has anyone purchased enough that they have received everything in the Sale A Bration brochure?..It ends March 31st! I've tested out most of everything and can't wait to get the rest.

Like I said earlier I've been trying to use up my DSP and so far its been working. I had a lot of time on my hands yesterday (which is very rare!) and I was hard at work in the craft room to bring you these beautiful cards.

I love Pool Party CS especially with this DSP collection!

I have a lot more to post so stay tuned!

Happy Tuesday!

We just found out that one of my sons favorite teachers and good friend is moving to another school . So I wanted to make sure I got a card out to her before the end of the year - which is in 2 days!! ( woohoo ) ...

Here's the card I did for her ..

 

 

 

More thanks

I liked the look of the Marina Mist CS for the Many thanks card that I decided why not try it in a few other colors .. So I tried pretty in pink, chocolate chip, basic black and summer sun. The summer sun wouldn't show up on vellum so I changed it to BB. Now each one will go to a few teachers that I work with ..
Have a great day :-)

 

 

 

Thanks so much

I really like marina mist CS, it's such a nice color . I saw this design from another site and tweaked it in a few places ... It turned out nice , however two tips - when using vellum make sure you use a darker color for the saying , as sometimes it doesn't show up and two never touch vellum till completely dry ! Lol
Have a great day :-)

 

 

 

Many Thanks

This is a quick "I saw the card on one of my neighboring blogs, so i have to try it" card. It turned out ok. It was hand sketched and then cut out. I had a lot of trouble getting the simplest of a saying to stamp next to it straight!..I think i went through a lot of cardstock and finally realized its just not going to stamp right for me!. So i broke down and used the guides from Stampin Up!....and then it was straight..But then it was stamped to close in..So I had to change it again..and that's where the oval comes in..lol I just wanted a touch of the oval on the sides.

Simple and Elegant

 

 

This was done at an open house, these were really simple cards to do.

I Always like the Blues

 

Here's a card that was made during an Open house a while ago, I'm finding that most the cards that have been collected are from over time. So some of the colors and/or products might not be available. But you can always substitute colors and come up with a brand new card.
