Birthday Gift Bag Set

I have been working on a few things getting ideas as to what I will make for doing my 1st Craft Fair this year! I am using up some of my old Retired Stampin' Up! DSPs and loving them all over again! 😍 

     I'm hoping these Gift Bag Sets are going to be a hit at the Craft Sale a friend & I are going to attend this year! I know it is something I would consider buying if I were to be looking to purchase 😊
     The envelope on the left is a Stampin' Up! Die Case that I re-purposed or altered to make into a Gift Card Holder. On the right is a matching Birthday Card, in the center is a little Gift Box and at the back is the Gift Bag for it all to go in. The gift box is a retired Stampin' Up! Mini Pizza Box. All of them are decorated with the Stampin' Up! Broadway Birthday bundle & Broadway Bound Specialty DSP. 

     I try to keep my dies in the same case as the set it co-ordinates with so I end up with lots of empty cases, I knew there had to be a use for them! 😉  I'm sure there are other practical uses but I like to turn them into something crafty so this is what I've done. We'll see what others think when we attend the Craft Sale 😊
     I did a couple green sets and a pink set so far but am really having fun making these! Even though they are made the same... you can see that I never decorate the same! 😂  I try to use up any scraps I may have if possible. For example, the "Wish" on the Die Case on the left was cut out of the DSP and I used the negative piece on the Gift Bag. I layered it so it stands out a little more but using up scraps!
     If you are wondering about the shadow on the balloons, it is just put there with a white gel pen. The sign is popped up so I put the gems under the sign so they can still be seen and it cuts down on dimension if mailing. 

If you have any questions about this post, please feel free to leave me a comment. Someone else might be wondering the same thing 😊

Christmas (Domino) Ornaments

Decorate with these simple Domino Ornaments! They are very easy! All you need is a set of dominos, Jet Black Stazon Ink (#101406), Sharpie markers, some Crystal Effects (#101055) & stamps that will fit on the domino! Some of the images are not Stampin' Up! but most of them are. The sets from Stampin' Up! are Best of Snow & Polar Party so far. I also used some Stickles for the snow and glitter on some images.  

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

     Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead.  It was a great idea, it was a hit!      Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families.  She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good!  I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think?      I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
