Cute Kitty

My daughter has a classmate who has returned to school following surgery for a brain tumor. My daughter wanted me to make her a card for her first day back. Since the classmate likes cats, this is what I came up with ...

Hope you have a great day! ツ

Punch Art Covered Notebook

When I was looking for ideas for the Cute Kitty card, I came across this butterfly. The original had legs, but I couldn't get my legs to look right so my butterfly doesn't have any.

With some additional ideas from friends, the punch art items were placed on a 5" x 7" notebook.

It turned out quite cute!

Have a great day! ツ

Purse Size Tissue Box Holder

I followed instructions on Frenchie's blog for this cute box that holds purse size tissues.  I have seen different ones and have made several, but I cannot find my instructions for any others.

I made this for a friend of my daughter who has allergies. I hope she likes it!

Have a great day! ツ

Folded Flower

I made this folded flower following Michael Funke's tutorial. This was my first attempt and there are some mistakes so my next flower will make it onto a card. Who knows ... maybe this flower will make it onto a card as well.

Have a great day! ツ

Spritzer Holder

I made this Spritzer Box by following Sam Donald's instructions. I altered the front and back to cover the entire front and back. I also used a 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch because I do not have the 3/4" Circle Punch.

I love that this is so versatile! You can put scissors, bone folder, ruler, pens, pencils, scoring tool, etc. in this!

Hope you have a great day! ツ

Giraffe Bookmark - UPDATED

I made this cute bookmark for my daughter.  I used several different punches from Stampin' Up! to create this cute animal. 

My daughter loves to read and she loves giraffes! 

Hope you have a great day! ツ

UPDATE: The black string did not stay on the ribbon so we stapled the ribbon to the cardstock.

Bunny Bags

A friend showed me these cute bunny bags and I fell in love with them. I ordered the die from papertreyink.com and received it over the weekend.

Here is one of the bunny bags I have made thus far ... I have made two, but only took this picture since I mailed it to my mom today.

I hope my mom likes her bunny bag! 

Have a great day! ツ

Magnetic Notepad Holders

I found this tutorial and made these for two sweet ladies who are family even though we are not blood related.

The orange and blue notepad holder was for "Grandma Dale" celebrated her 80th birthday. The other was for her sister June who helped us surprise Dale with our visit to Arizona.

I did not put any decorations on the front just in case they wanted to carry them in their purses. 

They loved them and I see more creating in my future!

Have a great weekend! ツ

Fold Open Box

I CASE'd this from Sam Donald. She made the box to hold a Yankee Candle votive candle. When I saw this fold open box, I knew I had to make one to hold an Easter Egg!

I was a little dismayed when I tried to put the egg in the box with the round part down - the box wouldn't close! I turned the egg over (pointed or smaller end down) and it fit perfectly!

Now to get a few more of these made before I have to get my daughter from school!

Hope you are having a great day! ツ

Hershey Kiss Butterfly

Aren't these adorable!?!?

I found this tutorial at Qbee's Quest.

Hope you are having a great day! ツ

Small Gift/Treat Box

Angie Juda posted a cute box she called an Easter Treat Box. It is simply the best size for giving a couple of treats (hers held two Reese's Eggs) or jewelry or whatever else you can think to place in this box.

I made mine with paper from Michael's along with the Petite Petal stamp, Petite Petal Punch, Sweetly Frames stamp set, Candy Dots, night of Navy stamp pad, Rose Red stamp pad, Crushed Curry stamp pad, and the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch from Stampin' Up!

This box holds 2 snack size Kit Kats and 4 Hershey chocolate Eggs.

I hope you have a great day! ツ

A Little Purse

Libby posted A Little Purse and I thought I would try my hand at making one. 

Here is my attempt ...

I'm not happy with the handle, but my daughter loved it!

Hope you are having a great day! ツ

Split Style Card

I CASE'd this design for these cards from Mary Fish ... the second one is very similar to her original card - I just used different flowers and sentiment on mine.

Hope you are having a great day! ツ

Easter Treats

I decorated these bottles (purchased from Pick Your Plum) for the children I am teaching in Bible class.

I know, it is really early to have Easter treats completed, but if I don't do them now, Easter will sneak up on me and they won't get done!

Once the goodies are eaten, the bottles can be used to hold the children's favorite drink! They are BPA free so the children can drink out of them.

Have a great day! ツ

Bag in a Box

Another creation CASE'd from Sam Donald.

I haven't added any decorations because I'm not sure what I am going to use it for - birthday, thinking of you, get well, etc.

Hope you like it! ツ

Small Treat Box

I saw this box at the store. I thought it was cute and I had to figure out how to make it!

After four or five tries, I did it! 

Here is the box open on its back.

I can finally say I figured out a box on my own!  Yay me!

Have a great day! ツ

Step Card

I made this for a dear friend who our daughter calls "Grandma" even though we are not blood related. 

I put glossy accents on the vases to make them look like glass vases although it does not look that way in the picture.

Have a great day! ツ

Hoppy Easter Card

I CASE'd this card from Mary Fish.

I loved the simplicity of the card since I needed to make several to send to family members.

The stamp set is Eggstra Spectacular from Stampin' Up!

Have a great day! ツ

Cute card!

My daughter has a student teacher in her classroom right now and next week will be Miss H's last week. I made this card to go along with some school supplies for Ana to give to her.

I didn't even notice that the bottom of the card was not straight! I carefully removed the books and cut it straight before having Ana sign it.

Have a great day! ツ

Easter Baskets

Just a few baskets I made this afternoon while listening to the rain! ツ
