It's A Celebration

Happy Monday! How is everyone doing today? I hope all is well with you and your families. How many of you post to Pinterest and say your going to make what you post and never get to it? Yeah me too....(😀😀😀)  Guess what? This card is from one of my posting....finally!

A couple of weeks ago I pulled out a 

birthday paper pad and was determined

to make cards with it. Two weeks later

I finally used it to make this card.

The paper pad had a page with preprinted

tags to use. This was one of the tags.

Quick and Easy, right?

This fold includes a pocket for a gift card or money.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day!

 

Cute handbags/purses

Happy August Monday! How is everyone today? Do you carry everything you own in your handbag or purse?  How about all your family members (husbands) who think because you carry a purse you can now carry all of their items too...(laughing) Today I'm sharing these cute little purses and surprisingly they are bigger than I thought they would be.

The die cut is from Concord & 9th for Becky Roberts

at Inking Idaho. ( www.inkingidaho.com)

It comes with different parts for the purse,

like key chains & hearts. Its just so adorable.

You can use them for gift cards or 

small note cards. 

 I can't wait to make more to share with you. Have a wonderful week!

Money Tree

Happy April! Today I am sharing a money tree I made for my TOPS group. We had our annual conference and we are required to donate a themed basket to be raffled off as a fundraiser. Our group decided to make a money tree instead of a themed basket. I had a cardboard tree I purchased from Oriental Trading (3 years ago...hee hee) that would be perfect for this project.

The tree before the money was added. I added
glitter to the tree before attaching the money.

The tree has 51- one dollar bills.

The money was attached with paper clips. It needed
some color so I added small purple flowers.

I made this box to add words of encouragement. 

After stamping funny and uplifting sayings,
the ladies in my TOPS chapter wrote
personal advice and encouragement for the winner.

I covered it in plastic wrap.

One of these days I will have a photo area instead of these ugly sheets for my photos. Maybe even a new camera....,,     Have a great day!

Ornament money holders

Happy Thursday to you! I started playing with some of my Christmas die cuts and ended up with these money holder ornaments.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.  

Using a Spellbinder die cut, I cut out three ornaments for each
money holder. I used one for the back, one for the front and
I cut the third one in half to form the pocket inside.
  I used a brad to attach them together. 

I stamped and die cut the butterflies, then distressed them
to match the paper.  I added the flower and the Merry Christmas. 

I created this one using  ribbon, pearls and a line punch.

By using the bottom half of the die cut I cut pattern paper
and cream CS to decorate the front.  I added an embellishment
and the Christmas saying. 

This was the easiest of all the ornaments.  The reindeer is a die
cut and I added the embellishment and the saying. 

After I made these I found that a gift card will not fit
inside so they are money holders instead. Who doesn't
like to get money as a gift?

This is the Die Cut  from Spellbinders I used. 

I hope your enjoying your Christmas season so far.  Don't work to hard and find some time to made some homemade gifts.  They are the best gifts to receive.

Here are a couple more Christmas money holders I made.  Hope you are inspired to make a few yourself.  They are very easy and fun to make. 

Using a die from Taylor Expressions I cut out the
Nativity scene and glued it to the holder. 

I added the silver star to the top. 

The inside

This is the die cut I used. 

On this one I added a piece of Christmas pattern CS
and added a Tree embellishment.  I stamped Merry
Christmas on the bottom. 

I used a snowflake punch for the inside.  

Have a fantastic day!

Money Holders

  Today I am sharing a Christmas money holder I made.  I took these pictures in my craft room so some of them may be kind of dark.  So sorry about that.  These money holders are nice to stock up on for Christmas.

I used a CTMH stamp set, some white flock for the snow
and added glitter.  Very easy. 

Wow I really piled on the snow...LOL

I cut a piece of CS 8.5 X 8.25. Then scored the 8.5 side at 2 3/4
and scored 1" on both sides of the 8.25 sides. 

Cut out the four corners and folded all the score lines. 

Using a punch I punched the inside of the holder. 

I glued the two flaps and folded over the punched side.
I then decorated it shown above. 

Inside of the holder.
My husband wanted to know why I didn't have Ben Franklin
in the holder.  I told him I guess he wasn't a good boy this year...LOL

 Check back tomorrow for a few more money holders I made.  Have a super great day!
