Not so boring Gift Card Holders!!

~~Don't forget to enter for my Blog Candy posted HERE! Odds are good!~~

I love gift cards!! Giving them and getting them =:O) but I dislike store bought gift card holders and want the recipient to know that even though its a gift card, I was thinking of them personally so I made a fun and beautiful way to make them a little more dressed up and festive, using a Bazzill library pocket!! Easy Peasy!!

The small tag inside has been covered with vintage sheet music, distressed and then a little paint on the top using crackle paint! When it was dry I stamped with Papertrey Inc. stamps...(which just might be my favorite stamps ever!!) The larger tea stained tag has been decorated with matching paper and the perfect size for a gift card!! Click on the pictures to enlarge them a little!

I'm doing my first Holiday Boutique in a month. Exciting stuff!! I have to start thinking of yummy things to sell!! Have any ideas???

Happy World Card Making Day!!

1st Card of today:
Okay....I finally finished my first card of the day....only one so far...I know...it didnt help that I went over to Art in The Yard and checked out a bunch of local artists work and had a glass of wine while I was there...I'll get back to working...

I hope you are having fun and creating lots!!

Tis the Season! New Card Kit!!

I will have a new card kit up by the end of the weekend on Etsy! These are just some of things you can make with the kit! Add stuff from your own stash to make it completely you-unique!!

The tag will look so cute on a Holiday gift and who doesnt love getting a chocolate bar, especially when its wrapped up all pretty!!??!! Here's a close up of the card! I've decided Felt is my new friend! I love working with it and makes things look so soft and pretty!!

I still need to brush up on my photo skills...I've decided that my camera is really the problem =;O) but it doesnt help that I can't find the proper lighting!
Hard to believe the Kids start school on Monday! Happy about it but realize they are so getting older! My Daughter is heading into Middle School....how did that happen??? Amazing!!!
Have a great weekend and don't forget to swing by my Etsy shop later on in the weekend!! Hugs!

Halloween Tags!

I made these tags last Halloween and just listed them in my Etsy shop. They are sooooo fun to make and have a spooky and vintage mood to them..which seems to be MY mood lately.

Im still working on the school tags and trying to figure out what little treat I can put in their backpacks without them knowing and that wont get smashed... Any Ideas?

Cute & Simple Golf Birthday Gift Basket!!

I made this cute little gift basket today for my Brother-in-Law's 50th Birthday party! So easy and it works perfectly to make the gift certificate for golf look less boring...I took a Target Dollar Spot bucket and filled it with kraft paper and "grass". Added some golf balls & tees and for a splash of color, a happy flower cookie! (Thanks Heather!). I finished it off with ribbon and tea stained tag that I stamped with "Birthday Wishes" from Amuse.

A cute an inexpensive way to make a Gift Certificate look more fun!! I hope you're enjoying your Memorial Day weekend! Its super windy and cold here today so we're off to the hot tub!
Have a great night!!
