Treat Bag Gift Card Holder

 Today’s post is a real ingenious and clever gift card holder that my friend and customer Sheri made me for my birthday. It is made from a Stampin Up Treat Bagthat was folded to create a double pocket holder- One for the gift card and the other for the message.  Sheri used my favorite paper(Botanical Garden DSP) and the Botanical Builder Framelits that are no longer available.  Loved it and the gift card was a real treat!

Summer Flip Flop wreath

 In anticipation of my upcoming beach vacation, I made a simple flip flop wreath using 9 pair of colorful flip flops from the Dollar Tree.  It is the perfect decor for our deck and pool area.

Succulent Pot

 I made place settings for my recent card workshop using the now retired Succulent Framelits from Stampin Up.  The pot is from the Dollar Tree and the succulents were inked to look realistic and perfect because they need no care since they are paper succulents.

Its the little things

It is the lit

tle things that make life sweeter.  At my recent card class, my customer, friend and fellow card maker, Sheri made me the sweetest little strawberry basket using the now retired Basket Builder Framelits.  The basket is just precious and big enough to hold no more than 2 Hershey kisses or a bunch of mini MnM’s. I love the removable lid and can’t wait to make these too.

All American Flip Flop Wreath

 Happy Memorial Day.  It is the unofficial start of summer so my door is decked out in Americana!  I hit up the local Dollar Stores to buy 9 pairs of flip flops and hot glued them to a wreath base made from a pool noodle.  I added curled ribbons and picks to complete the wreath. Love it and love the USA!

Pocket Tissues

 Today, I am featuring the Tasty Treats DSP to dress up a pack of pocket tissues. I made the box and then added the Tasty Treats DSP #142770 to the front.  For added fun, I cut an ice cream cone using the Frozen Treats Framelits #142756.  Be sure to check out the Stampin Up Retirement List to take advantage of items that are no longer going to be available after May 31st and some items are even discounted.

Here’s to Cheers!

 I recently attended my niece’s college graduation from Radford University so I decorated a champagne bottle for her and a wine bottle for her mother (my sister Blair) for hosting the party. I used the Here’s to Cheers #142098 stamp set and the coordinating Cheerful Tags Framelits #141838 to doll up the bottles.  Both items are on the Stampin Up Retirement List and are discounted but only available while supplies last or May 31st which ever comes first.
