This is a money/gift card holder that I've done in the past but with an adorable 'old fashioned soda shoppe' type exterior! I have seen the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper (#113980, $9.95) used as a window overhang like this and decided that it would be the perfect cover for a birthday money gift. I had a lot of feedback about my post the other day (See: Rose Accordion Bookmark Card) and the ... View Post
Holiday Lineup Money/Gift Card Holder
Look familiar? Yes! It was my September online shopping special! My online shopping special is now directions for a very significant project that (unlike this project) will never be available in my project gallery or by post (see here for full details).

I want all you ladies out there who are rushing to your demonstrator to purchase this set to let your rep know she can Paypal me 10% of her commission, LOL! The envelopes that I used are the same ones in my last post, they are the Large Open End Envelopes from Stampin' Up! but you can use regular #10 envelopes as well. Stamp and then ... View Post
Thankful Season “Envelope Trick” (Updated)
This neat little 'envelope trick' idea was given to me by my wonderful & talented friend Amanda Coughlin from whom I steal ideas from all the time! She made a card with insert like this last spring for a swap. Of course I run with her great ideas (and then unfortunately I am the one remembered for them not her!). Leave her a sympathy message on her blog, LOL! UPDATED INFO --The ... View Post
