Summer Projects

Summer is almost done, and soon I will go back to work. I'm glad I have some time to get ready for my fall craft fairs. Here are some projects that I've done.

I LOVE how this card came out. The stamp is from Impress Stamps here in Washington.

The Cougars are from Washington State University. These are 3x3 cards with envelopes.

If I have WSU, I definitely have to have cards from the University of Washington, home of the Huskies. Otherwise I'll get in trouble with my customers! 

I'm a HUGE coffee drinker, so I need to have some cards with coffee cups. These are perfect!

Finally, I have these gift card boxes. Right now I am working on Christmas ones.

Well, gotta go. I have couple more weeks before I go back to work. Enjoy the rest of the summer, everyone!

Cake Slice Money Holder

A friend had a birthday recently and I made her this little cake slice to put her gift in. Her name obviously starts with a "G". It's so fun decorating these cake slices. I love playing with colors and textures. The lace detail was a last minute decision - I think it works better that plain ribbon. Looks like delicious icing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Purses

I LOVE purses...I don't know of any woman who doesn't. These paper purses are also my favorite. They're easy to make and they are very cute! I usually use these purses for gift cards, but you can also put other small items in them like lip gloss, candy, or even jewelry! Who wouldn't like that?

I got the instructions on how to make them from this video on Youtube. All you need is a 6 x 6 piece of cardstock or designer paper. If you want a bigger purse, all you need is a 12 x 12 piece of paper. There is also a video for this. Such a fun project!!

Gift Card Holders / Goodbye Cards

Quite a few people left our school this year, and it is our tradition to give them a little gift to thank them for all they've done. Each person was given a $20 Starbucks gift card. I was assigned to make cards for them, and this is what I did.

I had to make 15 of them so I wanted something easy but beautiful at the same time. I got the idea from this video on Youtube. Luckily I had a lot of double-sided paper to use. They were done in no time!
