Another ‘Gift Keeper’

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I found it!  I love this sample, but i mysteriously disappeared… I found it and it was only ‘missing’ the Hershey bar, but thankfully the kids didn’t damage the sample!  Ah, the dangers of trying to keep chocolate in the house with 4 kids (three of them teenage girls)– a very bad thing!   My previous post has the dimensions to this type of gift holder.

I love the ‘Big Birthday Candle’ set… the design inspiration for this gift holder is from a card I did last month (below).  I didn’t love the card at first because it was too simple, but the up-side of simple is that I made a bunch of them to have on hand for birthdays!

Birthday Gift Keeper

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

 

<– Click on the graphic (left) to download the directions for this easy gift holder that you can get three of from one piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper!  I made some matching lollipop covers and made a flower from Smarties the same way I made the focal flower on the gift keeper.

This simple ‘gift keeper’ was made with the beautiful new set "Kind Thoughts" (which punches out a lovely flower with the scalloped circle punch),  Baroque Motifs (an ‘old friend’ of mine) and Circle of Friendship.  The color scheme is Ballet Blue, Rose Romance, Pretty in Pink & Certainly Celery… a great color combination.  Download the step-by-step to making these.

I made a birthday one as well, however I think that the kids got to it because I left the mini-Hershey bar in it… my fault I guess!

I will upload the one I made with "Big Birthday Candle" when it surfaces, I really liked that one even better!

Let me know what you think!

Birthday Invitation

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

birthday.jpgIt is very hard to believe that my “baby” has turned 9! How can it be as I never get any older?

I purchased this set “Eat Cake” last year when it came out, but this is the first time that I am using it.

The style was cut like a file folder and the Designer Series paper “Petals & Paisley” came to my rescue as the inspiration for the color palette as well as it is the accent stripe down the front.  I will be using this set again, I really love the versatile pieces in it.

Beth roller wheeled the front with the jumbo “Petals” wheel from the Spring Mini and was the main cut and assembly person for her invitation. She had so much fun making it, it was a joy to watch.
