Gift Card Box

Hi fellow crafters

Today was one of my niece's 18th birthday. I didn't just want to give her a gift card as it seemed boring that, that was all she was going to get to open. So I came up with what I call the Gift Card Box.

Inside the Gift Card Box I placed a little something she had been looking for a couple of days ago when we were shopping together.

And when she removed the ribbon she got a further surprise!

 

On the one side, a gift card in a pouch and on the other, the "card" portion of the Gift Card Box. So with one small box I took care of the

1. gift wrap

2. the gift card holder and

3. the "birthday" card (Yay!)

Stay tuned as I am drafting a template for the Gift Card Box with a tutorial which I will post in the coming week. In the mean time I have been busy with Valentine treats with a template which I will post tomorrow.


Happy Crafting

1st Birthday

Hi

Just a quick post as I am off to a first birthday party. I used the sketch over at Crazy for Challenges.

Here's the card I made.

Hope you have a blessed Sunday.

Remember that date! Birthday Book Challenge

Hi

Project Tuesday is having a challenge this week to make a birthday book and as I am always undecided when it comes to colors I used the color combinations challenge on SCS to inspire my color scheme.

So OK my take for the Project Tuesday challenge is not exactly a book but it still holds the template they gave as well as tags ready to be used on gifts.

Here's my take.

 

  

Below you can see that the inside has two pockets one with the tags and one with the months. 

I made individual "tags" of the months, so they can be slipped out individually. January can go behind December once the month is over and so forth, so that the current month is always in the front of the pocket to remind us of that months birthdays.

The happy birthday words behind the stamp was generated in word and printed onto the cardstock and then punched out. The stamp is a digi stamp from Softpencil I also used Techique Tuesday stamps for the background swirl ad copics to color the stamps.

Hope you have a blessed day.

Slider Purse

Ok - I'm back again (!)

Blogging overload, but I just can't wait to share my next creation. My eldest son has been invited to a party and I came up with this little purse to put some extra, "girlie" presents into. I have never seen a purse/box like this on any of the blogs before, so I hope I'm the first. Here is a picture of the purse closed.

 

Can you see the ribbon on the left comes out at the bottom and disappears under the lid and comes out at the top. This happens on both sides so that the lid slips up along the ribbon to open! Hopefully these other pictures will help you see what happens.

 

(P.S sorry about the color of the pictures but the sun kept on coming and going as I was taking photos)

The first picture shows some of the goodies I put inside, a mini tiara, some braclets, hair clips and a heart pencil.

I love these images from CC Designs, the are so easy to use. The sentiment is a rub on I have had in my stash for a long time now and the image was colored using copics. The mini flowers are from Making Memories.

If anyone is interested I can try put a tutorial together for this purse. Let me know.

Thanks

Mad about Ariel?

My DH cousins daughter is turning 3 and her Mom asked if I could help out with some party goodies. This is what I came up with. The little party favor houses a bracelet, and the small Ariel album for photos of the party go into the altered box. The fabric bags were made following instructions on Nicole Heady's Blog and can be found here (scroll down some).
