Gift Card Holder

Hi Everyone

I was checking out SCS and ran across a gift card holder that I haven't had a chance to create. There are a lot of different gift card holders out there but I thought this one was a lot of fun to create and really easy.

Step 1: cut card stock to 5 1/2" x 4"

Step 2: score at 2 1/2" and 5"

Step 3: cut card stock to 11" x 3/4"

Step 4: If you are using a solid card stock add your stamped images.

Step 5: Add adhesive (I've used sticky strip) to the 1/2" section (when you scored at 5" this left you a section that was 1/2" this is where the sticky strip is placed)

Step 6: Punch out a section for the 11" x 3/4" strip to go through. I've use the word window punch from Stampin Up but you could use any oval punch.

Step 7: Thread the 11" x 3/4" strip of cards stock through the punched hole.

The gift card is placed between the strip.

Step 8: Adhere the top of the 11" x 3/4 strip.

Here is a link to a picture tutorial that I found for this type of gift card.

Have fun and thanks so much for your visit.

Post-it Note Holder

Hi Everyone

Just a quick post-it note holder.

Supplies:

CS: 7 1/2" x 3 1/3"

DSP: 3 x 2 3/4", 3 x 2 1/4" , 3 x 1"

Velcro dot and accessories for closure.

Step 1: Take 7 1/2 x 3 1/3" card stock and score at 2 1/2", 2 3/4", 5 3/4" and 6.

Step 2: Glue on DPS

Step 3: Adhere your closure (I've used scallops, flowers or just ribbon)

Step 4: Adhere Velcro dot

These are super fast. If you use an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of CS you can get three out of 1 sheet.

I went to the Big Lots store and picked up a stack of 5 post it notes for $1.

Give it a try. Thanks for your visit.

Gift Tag Box

Hi Everyone

There is a cute gift tag box on page 14 of the Stampin' Up! 2009-2010 catalog that I've been wanting to try out. I'm so lazy when it comes to sitting down and working up dimensions for project so my first step is usually to do a google search and see if I can find a patter that is already out in blog land.

Well I've found such a blog and WOW how happy I was not only to find this project but the great blog that it was on.

This is pretty straight forward and was really easy to follow and up together. The biggest pain I thought about this project was trying to tie the silver cord.

You can find the pattern on Valerie's blog HERE.

The only alteration I made on the box was that I used a sheet protector instead of a window sheet. A sheet protector is much thinner but I didn't have any trouble with using it and it's a whole lot cheaper than a window sheet.

The stamps I used are all from SU! with SU punches.
Have fun giving it a try.

Thanks for visiting.

Post it Note Key Chain

Hi Everyone

This is a great idea that I'm just now getting around to making.

This is the Post it Note Key chain. Angie Kennedy Juda is my upline (ChicnScratch) and she always have such great video tutorials. You can check out Angie's video HERE.

The idea is very simple. You need a small post it note pad. One pad will make three key chains. The ring I've used is a binder ring. You will want to cut your card stock to 3 1/4" x 2". Score at 1 9/16" and 1 11/16".

I've used the scallop punch from Stampin' Up! and the 1 1/2" circle punch.

For the H initial I've used the Special Occasion complete font set from JustRite. The scallop circle stamp is from Elle's Studio and it's from the Whale of a Time stamp set. I originally bought this stamp set for the scallop circle stamp. I've always loved the SU scallop punch and all the other circle you can layer it with. I thought this stamp just added that much more to the idea of the scallop punch and layers.

The cardstock, ink and ribbon are all from SU's new In Color Melon Mambo.

Give it a try I think you'll like making this quick project. I was thinking that these would be great to give if your kids are having a party or something. I can just see one of these handing off a kids school backpack or something.

Thanks for your visit.

Have a super day!

Desk Top Organizer

Hi Everyone

I've been busy crafting for my first every fair this fall. I'm excited, scared and working frantically go get ideas for the fair. It's going to be in a very very small town which is why I decided to just go for it, but it doesn't make it any less scary. :-{

I've been working on making some of the desk top organizers from Papertrey. This are very quick things to make in mass I think. You can find the template HERE over at Papertrey.

The holders I made will hold a A2 size card. I think what I'll do is create some notepads to place inside the holder then add some ribbon around the note pad and stamp a few of the pages with a little "Just a Note" saying.

This is a great gift idea too. It could be personalized so easily.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Multi-Functioning Box

Hi Everyone

I wanted to share some of the helpful hints I used when creating this box. I purchased the template from Becky over at Inking Idaho.

For the most part the template is pretty straight forward. Box top and box bottom. Make sure that when you cut out the center that you are very accurate to insure your opening is accurate.

I had a family member ask for some simple note cards that she could mail without any extra postage. I checked out Joy's blog and found a great example and decided to case the concept. HERE is Joy's project that inspired me.

I found this great paper from a paper pack from Michael's and used the Baja Blue and Riding Hood Red cardstock from Stampin' Up!

If you are looking for something to give as a gift with cards or a post it note holder or notebook this would be a great project for you.

Check out Michelle's project HERE and some more of Joy's HERE and HERE and HERE. Their work has really inspired me. I can't wait to make some more of these.

Thanks for visiting,

Fly Free

Hi Everyone

I ran across the cutest Crayon Box over of SCS a few weeks ago and through it was such a great idea because of all the things you could put in it. Courtney over at Created By Courtney has a great and super easy tutorial on how she created the crayon box. You can find the link to the tutorial HERE.

This is a pretty quick project...(my favorite type of projects) and one that I thought you might enjoy as well.

I've used Copic to color in the Leanne Ellis, Fly Free stamp that you can find at Sugar Nellie.

I've also taken a picture with a spool or ribbon in it so you could be a sense of the size. You could make some cards and put them in here or add a altered post-it not or some other fabulous gift.

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for your visit.
