Poppy Parade Gift Card

I am having one of those weeks and all I can say is,  hooray for Friday!   I have not had much creative time lately and decided that I was going to make  time this morning and it was the right decision. Feeling a little better and the sun is even shining!  Things are definitely looking up!

Maybe I went a little overboard with the bows.  Are you wondering what the green thing is?

It's a gift card!   Do you know your gift cards?  Can you guess where it is for?  I will tell you at the end of the post.  

Here's a rundown of what I used.

Stamps: Snow Much Fun, Snow Swirled
Ink: Black Stazon and White Craft ink
Paper: Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade Patterns Pack, Poppy Parade, Silver Glimmer paper, Whisper White 
Big Shot: Petite Pockets die, Northern Frost
Punch: Modern Label
Ribbon: Whisper Whtie Taffeta Ribbon

I have another gift card holder on my Facebook Page so go over there and check it out.  It is a lot less foofy.    Have a great weekend and in case you were wondering......Olive Garden.

CPC Holly Berry Bouquet Card Set

Happy Monday morning!  I trust you had a wonderful weekend.  Did you do some Christmas shopping?  We did a little shopping for our son's birthday next week and it was crazy busy out there. Believe me I would have much rather been home making some gifts.

Today's project is a perfect gift idea for the holidays. This packet of hand made cards are so easy to make, you could make several sets to give to co-workers, friends, and even as teacher gifts.

This great gift set was designed by Laurie!  You can get all the directions by subscribing to Craft Project Central for the month of December. 

 

A Little Late or a Little Early

Here's what I have been working on in the stamp room.

I "uncovered" these calendars during my last craft table clean up.  I  purchased  them a few months ago and I am sure I had a fantastic plan for them.  Since I could not remember what the original  plan was (does this happen to anyone else?)  I decided they would make great refrigerator magnets.   They aren't going to make it on time for Thanksgiving but it is still way early for  2012 so really I am ahead of schedule.   How's that for some twisted logic?

I was going to use some pre-cut chipboard squares but I thought it would be so much easier to make my own chipboard coasters.  How is that easier you ask?  I used the Clear Circle Big Shot die and  cut out circles from thick chipboard( On Board chipboards sheets).  I also used the die to cut out the magnet sheet, the Desiger Series Paper, and the Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive sheets.    This made assembling the base very easy, no measuring, no sanding everything just fit.  Love it!  If I was really thinking I would have used my Big Shot to cut out the little banner and the flowers too but unfortunately I was not that efficient but maybe next time.

Here are the supplies I used:
Stamps: Sweetly Said
Ink: Early Espresso
Paper: Spice Cake DSP and Very Vanilla
Big Shot: Clear Circle die, Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets, Magnet Sheets, On Board Sheets
Punches: Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, Boho Blossoms, Bird Builder
Extras:  Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon, Basic Pearls, purchased calendar
