Butterflies….

Hi Again!  Another quick post before I start my work day.  I found this sweet free butterfly image on pinterest and couldn’t resist printing it off a couple of times and creating with it….

I was helping a friend (Shelly) out on skype the other night because she was having difficulty with her new Punch Around the Page set of punches and that inspired me to pull out a set of mine and get punching!  This one has loads of layers just the way I like it

I thought this image would be lovely as a tag for a thank you gift as well.

Okay… Now to start my day!  Have a good one!!

Gift Tags….

Good Morning Friends….  I have some gift tags to share with you this morning.  A friend at work asked me to make 5 of them, three feminine and 2 masculine gift tags.  Here’s what I came up with…

As you can see… I found the masculine tags much more difficult!  Honestly!  Making cards and tags for men is just painful!  *sigh*  Tony keeps telling me that I worry too much about this.  Men really are not that bothered about what the card looks like.  LOL!!  Anyway, it is what it is!!!

I hope everyone has a great day and thanks for stopping by!

 

Christmas Gift Bag….

Good Morning Blog Friends!  I have another gift bag to share with you…..

I decided to make a Christmas bag this time using the wonderful Christmas papers Kim has in stock at The Cutting Garden.  These bags are a ton of fun to make… really quick and easy too.  You can do anything with them and decorate them as much or as little as you like!

I used the Martha Stewart Double Arches border punch, which is one of my favorites.  Here’s a look at the whole bag…

I stamped snowflakes all over the bag and inked the edges.

I hope everyone has a fantastic day and thanks for stopping by!!!

Some Cheery Inspiration…..

Good Afternoon Friends!

I have another fun project to share with you today!  Wow this is three posts in one day!  I just couldn’t wait to share this one with you all…..  I took lots of pictures LOL!!!

Kim at The Cutting Garden has challenged us to create like mad using our Cheery Lynn Dies in preparation for our visit with the owners of Cheery Lynn Designs this coming Saturday!!!  (CAN YOU TELL I AM JUST A LITTLE EXCITED?????)  lol!

I used three of my favorite Cheery Lynn Dies for this project….

~ Fanciful Flourish

~ French Pastry Doily

~ Small Lace Faerie Queen Butterfly

I love making hand made gift bags…. It adds such a lovely personal touch to any gift!  I don’t think I will every give a store bought gift bag ever again!  The hand made bags are so beautiful and fun to make.  This is just an example of what you can create…. I have loads more ideas floating around in my tiny little mind and I will be sharing them all with you as I get them created!

I hope my project inspires you to make something beautiful!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Gift Tags….

Happy Friday Blog Friends!

It’s a long weekend here for us this weekend and I am playing catch up big time as usual!  I haven’t been crafting much lately, the weather here in Halifax has been absolutely fantastic and I have been spending a lot of time on my deck enjoying our lovely back yard and just relaxing.  Work has been totally hectic and when I get home, I have been too tired and hot to do much of anything except try to cool off.  I’ve been going to bed early and just being really quite lazy….

I have a gift tag card this weekend that I am teaching at The Cutting Garden so I thought I would pop on and post what I have made…

Kinda pretty huh?  I thought these would love lovely on plain kraft style gift bags you can pick up easily at the dollar stores.  The would dress the bags up beautifully don’t you think?

I hope everyone is having a great night and thanks for stopping by!!!

Butterfly Note Cards….

Good Morning Blog Friends,  My husband has done it again!  He made me this fantastic new butterfly die cut….

Behind the top paper butterfly is a lovely die cut from the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Twisted Metal Tags and Accents I picked up from The Cutting Garden.   Here is a look at the whole card…

These were so much fun to put together, I thought I would try another set using different paper….

This time I used a pretty glittery butterfly for the center using a Martha Stewart punch all over the page punch I borrowed from my friend Carol.

These would make great gift tags but fit into a regular size envelope and could be given as a card on their own.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

More Wine Gift Tags…

I’m getting ready to head back down to the Bishops Landing Waterfront Market for the evening.  I’ve made a few more Wine tags to take with me….

It’s going to be such a busy weekend for me!  I’ll be at the Waterfront all day tomorrow and Sunday, it’s going to be so much fun!!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Wine Bottle Gift Tags…

Here are some wine bottle gift tags I made up for the Waterfront Craft Market….  The pictures do not do them justice… They are so pretty in real life!….

Have a great day!

Christmas Tags….

Hi Again!  I have been busy making things for the craft fair and here’s another set of Christmas tags that I made up using the Martha Stewart Deco Fan Punch Around the Page set.  These were really simple to make up.

I made the bows but now that I am looking at them, I’m not sure I like the black and silver on these.  I may have to pull them off and do something different *shrug*  The snowflake punch is by Martha Stewart as well.

Have a great day!
