Back to Homeschooling :-)

Hello crafting friends.  It's back to school time and since my daughter homeschools her little ones, I thought that a little gift for the teacher was in order.  I think a well caffeinated teacher is always a plus 😀

 

I made this little purse, using a die from Concord & 9th, for a gift card to a coffee store.  Not sure yet which one, but that is not going to be a problem since we have several in the area .

The designer paper is from my scraps drawer but it is so much prettier in person as some of the apples have a coat of glitter on them. I made most of the elements from the die set, including the little tassel and heart tag.

I'll be back tomorrow to share another back to school project I made.

Till then, 

crafty hugs!

Hi folks. With the pencil boxes I made for my little grandchildren (post here) came a little surprise for my daughter :-)

When I saw this file in the Silhoette store, I just knew it would be perfect for her.

I resized the file and added a few different elements to make it more personal, and overall, I think it came out kinda cute :-)

Thanks for stopping by.

Stay safe and healthy.

Hugs,

Cauldron Gift Card Holder

I have the last Halloween card for 2018 to share with you today.

I made this card for my son and he loved it :-)

Of course it could have been the Starbucks gift card inside that made it so cool :-)

This card design is from the Silhouette store - design #94560.

I added a few more bubbles to that it would cover the gift card better :-) I cut all the bubbles out of white card stock and used copic markers to colour them in in different shades of greens.

Black and orange card stocks are from GinaK. The green cardstock for the holder is out of my scraps drawer, so no info on it :-)

Like I said, I put a Starbucks gift card in the hidden holder, but when I was taking the pic, all I had with e was member card to Panera Bread.  I love the way it came out - any gift card will fit perfectly in it.

Well, crafting friends, time to start finishing off all my Christmas projects that I have on hand, so I hope you'll come back and visit.

Happy crafting!

Hugs,

Autumn Fun Gift Card

Good morning DiesRUs friends. You know that moment when you open an envelope and out comes a really pretty card that makes you happy, and then you open the card and there is a little something extra for you on the inside? Don't you just love that feeling? :-) Since it's my turn today to share a card at the DiesRUs inspiration blog today, I decided to share one of those cards.

To make this standard A2 size card, I began by getting all my pieces cut in the papers I wanted to use. 

I stamped my tree trunk first and added some grass using a copic marker.  Once this was done, I created a mask for the tree trunk before sponging in the sky for the background.

Then came the fun part of stamping and colouring all the little bits and pieces.  I added a little dimension to my little guys by using foam dots.  And since this card is going in the mail, I decided to adhere a solid piece of foam to the back.

 To do this, you just trace the image on a piece of craft foam ... 

... and then cut it out a little on the inside of the trace mark. You can use any adhesive to adhere the foam to your image and/or your card.

Once the front of your card is done, it's time to work on the inside. The Gift Card Pop-Up die from Lawn Fawn, makes it real easy to make an insert for your gift card.  I cut another couple of mats and adhered them to the card.  This is what I will use to write my personal message.

That was it. A fun and very easy card to put together :-)

Here is a quick recap of the dies I used, all linked to the DiesRUs store for your convenience.
