Oval Punch

I took a day away to recover from a great birthday celebration for my youngest. I can’t believe she is 15 already. Family first, so it was all about her. Even so, some things still have to get going. These projects were made to give to the young women I taught a Sunday lesson. There were fourteen of them all together and they looked wonderful.

I usually share current product, but made an exception for these. The paper is retired from last year and the heavy bakers twine is from the last sale-a-bration. The stamps, doilies and punches are current though. I do love how things coordinate together so nicely though, very satisfying.

Setting a piece of paper on my score board is so liberating. A little bit of math and you are off and running. I cut the 12 x 12 sheets in half and went for it. They came together rather quickly and the girls really enjoyed them. I love to make things for people, I truly do.

Have a creative day!

What to do with a spool of silver metallic thread? Make butterfly antennae of course. This tiny, oh so tiny, tiny little bag is also closed with the same thread.

This bag is sized just right to hold a gift card and you could squeeze in a flat chocolate or two. How perfect a thank you is that? I do love giving gift cards to people and having them tucked inside something as adorable as this makes it even better.

I started out with a piece of cardstock measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, yup, that tiny. I stamped half way down with my little butterflies, flipped it around and went down the other way. I did that so if you turn the bag around, my butterflies aren’t upside down. Clever, right? Thought so too.

My score lines were all about the 1/2″ mark. Just a tiny little bag here, so cute. Can you tell I love tiny things? Well, I do! And this bag is all done and ready to get that special gift card for some lucky friend.

Have a creative day!
