More February Cards

Here is another book style card that I made for my niece and her fiance's new home! I used Graphic 45's Artisan Style paper collection. Here are pictures of the inside of the card.

One of the pages has a little pocket for a gift card but in our case we gave them some cash so they can do with it what they need the most. Setting up a home for the first time, you just need everything!

And I did it again for a birthday card only with a gift card for a dear friend who was leaving for Disney in Florida. But this time I made the card vertical instead of horizontal. Graphic 45's Love Notes paper collection is so beautiful, I had to use it.

This is a birthday card for a 8 year old who can really appreciate flowers and bugs! By bugs I mean butterflies! I had to add some bling because, of course, she is a girly girl who loves bling! Happy Birthday Emily!

Welcome to 2022!

Since it is a New Year, my sisters and I went to our booth yesterday changed out Christmas items for Valentine items! This is the first thing I made for Valentine's Day. A Valentine heart made with corks! You can hang it on your front door or on your wall. If it doesn't sell, I may hang in on my wall. My daughter gives me a lot of corks from the restaurant that she works. I painted the tops of the corks pink and red with the ribbon wrapped around the entire heart. It took a few days to make because I glued the heart a little at a time to make sure they stayed in place. I used both Gorilla glue and hot glue. Loved how it came out! For our booth, I also made a couple of Valentine baskets and also with corks a cell phone holder which is pictured below.

It has a nautical theme because where we have our booth is near the ocean and nautical things sell very well. I actually kept one of the cell phone holders that I made for myself. It works great in my craftroom to watch videos.

Above is the Valentine Explosion Box that I made which was fun to do! Explosion Boxes are always fun to do! Here are some pictures of the inside of the explosion box.

I want to make another one for a friend who I know will love this. You can add pictures to this box too! Valentine's Day will be here before you know it! Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Bottle

Another baby girl for the Wallace family!  I found this bottle template on Pinterest and with my new Marianne Creatables rocking horse die made this cute card for the baby shower last weekend.   Love the pink plaid glitter paper that I used from Michael's and the gray polka-dot paper from SU.  Just added a little lace and all done!!

Inside just a cute baby sentiment and I made a pocket for a gift card.  Also got the "little feet" from Marianne Creatables too!   I also wanted to show you the gift bag because the baby's sister, Evy, loves Minnie Mouse and so do I!

Who doesn't love Minnie??!!!

Father's Day Pop up!

Here is one of the cards that I made for my husband for Father's Day this past weekend.  I used the beautiful Graphic 45 By the Sea collection.  It is such a gorgeous collection from Graphic 45!

My husband went to San Francisco this past April to help our son buy his first vehicle.  When he was there, he went sailing in the San Francisco Bay and sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge!  He can check that off his bucket list now.  The sentiment says, "Out of all the fish in the sea, I am lucky to have you as my husband!".   I used that picture for this card along with dies from Marianne Creatables, Die-namics and sizzix.  The fish and crab were MS punches.  The wave border punch was from EK punches.   I found this type of card on Pinterest and have gone back and can't find where I pinned it.  The instructions for it are really easy, see below.

Sideview

For the base, cut 5x10 and score on the long side at 5 inches.  Then cut 2 - 5x5 and score every 1 inch (which will be 4 times) and then put together to make a box.  Cut 1- 5x2 and 1- 5x3 1/2.  Then just assemble as shown with the 5x2 cardstock in the front.  Decorate as desired.   Gonna make another one of these- love it! 

I had already made this card for my husband before I made the one above so I decided to give him both!  Why not!  Again, I saw a similar card like this on Pinterest which inspired me to make this one.  Punch art is so fun to do and the bumble bee is adorable!!  This could be a birthday card or even a Valentine's Day card--just add some hearts!!
