Party Animals

Hi!  Me again with my 3rd entry for PTI's Make It Monday using scor-tape and glitter.  This is probably the most glitter I've ever used in my crafting life.  I promise this is my last entry, maybe. 

Anyway, I had this idea for this card using the animals from Tiny Treats Birthday.  I wanted a line of animals leading each other to Monkey's cage for his birthday party.  They are following each other using some twine on a glitter strip.  Because I wanted it to be kind of a long layout, I decided to make a money holder card. 

Here's a close up of Monkey hanging from some twine.  I used the mat stack stamp from Tiny Treats Christmas cause it looked similar to bars on a cage.  I used the long twine to tie the money card closed.

All the other animals coming along with Turtle bringing some balloons.

This is the inside.  It's a pretty simple money holder card to make.  I cut the kraft cardstock to 8.5 x 7 inches.  Then from the 7 inch side, I scored at 3 and 6 inches.  That leaves 2.5 inches to fold up to create the pocket for the cash.  I punched some semicircles and done.

I added another strip of glitter and a sentiment and wrapped twine on the edge.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

How cute cute cute! Never thought about making a cash card, but this looks like a great idea.

Snowman gift card holder

By
Hi!  I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences.  It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts.  I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one.  It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch.  The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card.  I added this fun card that I stamped.  You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks.  I hope I can make more of these little guys.  These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire through the hat and then use it as

coffee cup shaped cards

By
Hi!  I think after this post I may need a little nap!  My right shoulder is actually feeling worn out from all the typing and photo editing I've been doing lately.  And this cooler weather is making me drowsy.  It's getting cold here already! I made a bunch of these coffee shaped cards using a die from Honey Bee Stamps .  It's a cute coffee set but the die is extra long so it would probably help to have a longer platform to diecut.  I just have the standard sized one so I would pass it through once in my Big Shot and then rotate the cardstock and die carefully to cut the other end.  Manageable but the longer platform would be more convenient! I embossed the front of the card with some pretty snowflakes.  I think this is a Sizzix embossing folder.  And then stamped the coffee sleeve with some Lawn Fawn stamps. This is the inside.  The gift card slot does not come with this coffee cup die set.  I cut that opening with one of the dies from MFT's gift card dies.

all occasion tags

By
Hello!  I have more tags to share today.  I kept these simple too to be used on most any occasion.  They have no sentiments on them. I used MFT's cute Birdie Brown Bitty Bears stamp set.  These were on my wish list for a while and I kept going back and forth about purchasing them especially because I wanted the dies to cut them out too and those were very expensive!  Geez, remember the old days when we used to fussy cut everything out by hand? This is the next 6 tags.  There's also a cute bear with a Santa hat that I didn't include in the photos.  This was a pretty quick project since I kept the bears white!  Not much coloring on these tags but they are still cute and colorful. I thought I was going to be doing more stamping but I've actually gone on to crochet more!  I've made 3 more crochet projects that I'll share soon.  Sometimes I do get the urge to color something but these days it's so much easier to pick up some yarn and my hook and crochet
