Tope Note Gift Card Holder

A New Take On a Classic

Since March is my birthday month (and yes I will be celebrating all month lol) I figured it would be fun to do some birthday themed paper crafts.

The first of which is a gift card holder using the Big Shot top note die from Stampin' Up. I think this particular design is a lot of fun, and as I mention in the video it is gender and age friendly ;)

You can view the tutorial here:

Wasn't that fun?! And I love that you can personalize these even more with the color of cardstock and pattern paper you select! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check back soon for even more birthday fun!

And As Always, Keep Crafting!

Saint Patrick's Day Mini Card

 

Got Green?

It's crazy that March is already half over! But in the spirit of the luck of the Irish, I wanted to post a quick tutorial on a cute mini note card I created.

All of the materials used to make this card came from Stampin' Up.  Here is what I used:

• Cardstock in Gumball Green
• Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack
• Very Vanilla Cardstock
• Got Treats Stamp Set
• Gumball Green Ink
• Black StazOn Ink 
• 1 3/8 in Circle Punch
• Word Window Punch
• Modern Label Punch
• Dimensionals 

Now, here is what I did:

1. Cut the gumball green cardstock to be 3 in x 6 in and then scored at 3in.
2. Cut the designer paper to be 2 7/8 in x 2 7/8 in.
3. Attached the designer with adhesive to the front of the card.
4. I then stamped my clover and "Got Green?" stamp with the StazOn ink onto a piece of very vanilla card stock.
5. Then I stamped the image again, but this time with gumball green ink.
6. I used the 1 3/8 in circle punch to punch out the black clover, and used my scissors to cut out the green clover.
7. Next, I used adhesive to attach the circle to my card, and some dimensionals to attach the green clover to my circle (the black background helps with the 3-D effect).
8. Then I I punched out the black Got Green? saying with the word window punch and used the modern label punch to punch out some gumball green cardstock.
9. Lastly, I attached the modern label with adhesive under my clover, and again used some dimensionals to attach the saying to the modern label.
10. And you're done! 

If you pay close attention you will notice that I also blinged out the modern label a little with some sparkle ;) But that part is completely optional. I had a lot of fun making this cute little note card, and I hope you enjoy it as well!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! And As Always, Keep Crafting!

Carrot Cone Treat Holder

Carrot Treat

It may be a little hard to believe that Easter is right around the corner - especially if you are still experiencing winter weather like we are here in Iowa! But this adorable carrot treat sure helps put me in the Spring mood :)

I used the Cricut cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 to cut out this triangle shape, and can you believe that I used a cheap party napkin for the green part?! I was a bit skeptical at first, but they turned out great!

Enjoy the video tutorial here:

 

Let me know what you think :D
