Tag Topper Bag

Elaine at Papercraft Button shared this bag on February 28. She has such great ideas.

This bag is just the right size for some treats or jewelry or fingernail polish or makeup ... the ideas are endless.

Hope you have a great day!

Zoo Babies Train

Victoria Bunn showed her Zoo Babies Train on a FB group to which I belong. I thought it was really cute and saved the picture to try and make one on my own. Just last week, she shared how to make parts of the train - minus the engine. I thought I would try my hand at it - even though I do not need a baby gift at this time.

I added magnets to keep the train "together".

Movie Gift Card Holder

Isn't Pinterest a great place to get ideas!?! I found the picture for this gift card holder and thought it was such a neat idea. 

I used a flower punch to make the popcorn. I used That's the Ticket stamp set along with the matching punch to make the two tickets. I used the scallop border punch to add the scallops to the top of the popcorn bag.

The only thing I measured was the gift card to make sure I had enough white CS to hold it and to ensure the bag was long enough. The rest, shall I say, I just wing'd it! I hope the recipient of this likes it as much as I do.

Have a great day!

Curved Side Box

This box was shared on a FB group to which I belong. The only measurements given were that the box was 8 cm all around. As I cannot wrap my head around centimeters, I forged ahead in inches to see if I could make this box.

The box turned out so cute! 

Here are my directions:

CS 6" x 8 1/2"

• Score on the long side at 2", 4", 6", and 8"
• Score on the short side at 2" and 4"
• Fold on all the score lines
• On the long side, cut up on all the score lines to the intersecting score line - do this on both sides
• Trim the first 2" section and the third 2" section in half to create the tabs needed for the box (see picture below)
• Use a curved edge (I used a ribbon spool) to trace onto the second and fourth 2" sections - this will give you the sides of the box

• Also trim the 1/2" section in half - I forgot to do this before taking the picture above
• Place adhesive on the tab sections and create the box - the first and second 2" section will be the lid - below is the picture of what the box will look like once the tabs are in place

I hope you like this box. It was a fun one to make.

Have a great day!

Birthday cards

Time for more birthday cards so I made these ...

I made these after watching this YouTube video.  

Have a great day!

Tea Light Holders

Instead of giving chocolates to friends at church for Mother's Day, I used Sam's tea light holder tutorial to create these. I recently went to IKEA and picked up some of their yummy smelling tea lights - my craft room smells wonderful!

Hope you have a great day!

Teacher Appreciation Doors

I was able to put up the door decorations for my daughter's teacher and for the art teacher last Friday. 

Here is my daughter's classroom door ...

Mother's Day Cards

Since I need to make several Mother's Day cards, I thought I would get a head start.

Hope you have a great day!
