Gift card Holder for Mom

Have you seen these adorable gift card holders made with the envelope punch board? Jackie Topa, a wonderful SU demo shared instructions for this on YouTube. I of course changed the DSP and color combo, and added my own little touches.
My mom loves purple so I decided to use some wisteria wonder cs along with some sahara sand. The DSP is from the sweater weather 12x12 pack. I know that it doesn't look like it, but there are some more neutral patterns in there. I made the flower with some crepe paper and 7/8 scallop circle punch. The stamps sets are sketched birthday, perfectly penned, and flowering flourishes. I also used some washi tape from the this and that suite. It's hard to see but there is some sparkle on this card. I used a sakura stardust gel pen. Everything else is SU.

Go make a few of these, they are super fun and easy!

Curly Halloween Wreath

 

So I had been seeing these curly paper wreaths all over the internet and decided I needed to try one. It seemed like a lot of work just looking at it. Lo and behold, it was super easy! Now I won't lie and say it isn't time consuming, but it is so worth it. I already have a plan to make a few for Christmas for my friends and family. The great part about these is that it uses up a lot of DSP. I have to admit, I horde my DSP and even though I can't use it for workshops, I still hold onto it. So this may thin out my stash just a bit. I see one for each season, holiday....ideas are endless......

Treat Bags

If you are a Stampin' Up demo, then you get the magazine Stampin' Success. In the current issue, there were treat bags made with a regular lunch sack. A few cuts and some glue, and you have a fun little bag. I decorated mine using the ovals framelits and the Oh Hello stamp set and the hostess set Postage Collection. I made the flower with the Fancy Flower punch and baroque embossing folder. I added a doily cut in half, some ribbon, and a banner to finish. I had to use a glue gun to attach the flower. Now I just have to decide what to put in it.....
