Happy Gift Tags

I am just loving the colours and papers in these gift tags.

There is just not enough hours in the day to get all these ideas onto paper.  tee hee....

Note Cards and Carrier

Happy Accident

This is my take on a posting from Thoughts That Stick blogspot.

Happy Accident....

Those working with paper know there sometimes are happy accidents. This is one of mine.

While working out the dimensions for the card carrier, somehow I flipped it, and my carrier wasn't wide enough to hold a envelope. So lets make it a note card holder and forget the envelopes. I think it worked out well.

Funny how things work out.

Foxy Loxy...by Lu Vince

What a darling fox costume made by my dear daughter-in-law Lucy.

I can just see sweet Henry lost in his imagination as a fun fox.

What a good mum you are, Lu.

Meet Three of My Friends

These little fellows will make cute chocolate holders for Easter this year.

What do you think?

If I had taken a sideways shot you would see these little guys are on triangle folds which allows them to free stand, as well as hold a small chocolate at the back.

Oval punches; circle punch for eyes, feet, cheeks; scallop punch for feet and detail for chick and frog.

I think they are fun, and hope the grand children do as well.

Hey it worked !

Saw this style card on Inking Idaho and thought I'd give it a go. With a bit more tweeking I think it will work. Another little idea to keep in the back of my mind.

Flower Flurry

I'm just loving the Big Shot machine and the embossing folders.

How quick is it to 'tissy' up a card with a cute flower?

That's Different....

At Stamp Club, Beth showed us how to make herringbone cards.

I don't know what it is about cutting and pasting strips of paper that is so soothing, but I loved making these cards. Thanks Beth, and thank you Kirstin, again for the lovely paper selection.
