Candy Wrapper

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days. It snowed here in Mabank on Sunday, and I didn't have access to the internet.

Here's a little project I did for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. I can't remember where I got the measurements from so I apologize for not giving credit to the correct stamper. I am always afraid to give anything to my nieces and nephews because they are small and I'm afraid they are going to tear up all the work I did. So, this year, I decided to go ahead and just do it. I took a day to punch and then my daughther and I got busy on making 13 of these. It's not alot but it was great having her help. It went by a lot faster.

I hope you enjoy it!


Happy stamping!!!

Frame

When the name frames came out, they were so popular because they are so easy. Not only can you put names in there but you can put any type of phrase. These are probably the easiest and personalized things to make. Plus this is a good and fast way to use up that designer paper you have. I know that I have lots to use up.

I did this awhile ago for a swap. I think the hodgepodge adds so much to the frame. I got the frame at Walmart. These are the usual size I have been doing but I've done a 5x7 before. I used Afternoon Tea from one of the minis and the letterpress alphabet set that is now retired.

Take time to stamp something today!

Happy stamping!

Card Organizer

I had a chance to participate in a craft swap Friday night. So, of course, I waited until the last minute to think of something to make. I always have a hard time coming up with something to make. I remembered that I had seen this card organizer on several blogs. This was very easy to make. There are many different versions.

What I did with these was take 6 sheets of 2 sided designer paper. This paper was in our last mini. I scored them at 4 inches and folded those. Then I folded the sheets in half. This is how I got the pockets. I then glued the calendars on to the pockets. I got the calendars from splitcoast. For the front and back covers, I cut 2 pieces just slightly larger than the pockets. (I don't remember what I cut them too.) I then glued them to chipboard to make them sturdier. I then used my crop-a-dile to punch holes and then I added brads to the front cover only. I inserted a key ring and added ribbons. There are so many ways to put these together.

What I like about this is that the calendars are not month dates but just dates so this is good for as long as it lasts.

I hope you enjoyed the project for today. It was an easy one. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy stamping!!

Gift Card Holder

This is something we did in stamp club a couple of months ago. I've seen this holder on various blog sites so I don't know who to give proper credit for.

It's very easy to do. I used the word window punch in the middle of the holder to make a pocket for the gift card.


We used my favorite stamp set that is now retired. I don't think I'll be giving this one up too soon. There are a couple of new ones in the catalog now but I don't care for the design much. Oh well!!

Enjoy and do some stamping today!
