Card Holder

I had a workshop this past weekend and made this Card Holder for my hostess. She is such a sweet person and I really enjoy spending time with her and family and friends. This is her 2nd workshop with me so I wanted to do something extra special for her.

I made her this box using the New Hearts Collection Framelits Dies from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I had so much fun making this for her.

Inside the holder, I put 4 cards (size: 4x4) which were on a previous post.

Supplies used:

Card Stock: Soft Suede, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party

DSP: Everyday Enchantment (Sale-a-bration catalog)

Big Shot using Hearts Collection Framelits Die, Little Leaves (Sizzlets Die), Beautiful Wings (Embosslits Die) and I embossed the big heart with the Vintage Wallpaper Text.Impressions Embossing Folder

Punches: Boho Blossoms, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle,  and 1 3/4" Scallop Circle

Embellishments:  Antique Brad and Basic Pearl Jewel and 5/8" Victoria Crochet Trim Ribbon

Note Cards

I made these two Note Cards with left over scraps I had from a previous project. List of supplies is below. Yes, never let your scraps to go waste, you can totally use them to make some little note cards to send to friend.

Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White
Ink: Black Staz On, Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral
Stamp Set: Gnome Sweet Gnome (Occasions Mini)
Big Shot using BigZ Lattice
Punches: 1 3/4" Scallop Circle and Decorative Label
Extra: I dabbed a drop of Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details inside of the heart on the watering can card

Sending Love Purse

I had so much fun putting this cute little Top Note Purse together. I call it my, "Sending Love" Purse. The Designer Series Paper I used is retired SU paper. My son wanted to get his little friend (girl) a purse for her Birthday but I had already purchased her a bracelet and necklace. So, I thought I will just make her a purse. I found the instructions at a fellow demonstrators website (Holly K.). Click HERE to be directed to her website where I found the instructions on how to make this adorable purse. I changed it up a bit. I used a top note die cut as the top of the purse and used a piece of velcro as the purse closure.

The flower is Blossom Party die cut (used with the Big Shot).  I used a Clear Rhinestone Brad to hold the flower together. I punched the tag out using the Large and Extra-Large Tag punches. The ribbon on the tag is the Chantilly 1/2" Crochet Trim.

 
I used velcro for the closure. I basically a small circle piece of velcro in half. The trick is to attach the sticky side of one piece of velcro to the paper, then connect the other half on top of it. Once the two are connected, remove the clear paper from the stick backing of the piece you just connected and close the purse to where you want the top flap to land. That way both pieces line up perfectly when you open and close it.

I wrapped the jewelry in tissue paper then punched out a heart, using the Full Heart Punch, and attached it to the fold of the tissue paper so the jewelry would not fall out. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Cards in the mail

I just had to share these cards with you. My upline, Alicia, sent me this pretty card in the mail. I just love everything that is going on with this card. It's a simple yet very decorated card. She used Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. The ink, button and bakers twine are also the same colors. I just love it. Thanks Alicia!

I also had to show you this great card from my friend and fellow demonstrator, Kristen. I like how she used the bright colors with the Delicate Doilies stamp set. Then added the bling at the bottom. I love using the Jewels on cards. Thanks Kristen!

Memories Card

Tonight I put together another card we are going to assemble at a future workshop. This card is versatile in that it can be used as an Anniversary card or simply a card to send to a loved one whom you have shared wonderful memories with. Hey, now that I think of it, you can also use it as a cover to make a mini photo album. Hmmm.....I just might make one!

Below is a close up pic of the flowers.
