Here's My Project
 
Glassine Bag Gift Card Holder
 
 
I adhered patterned paper to the top of the glassine bag. Pop dots were used under the stamped sentiment to give it some dimension. I also used my S.U. punch to add a fluttering butterfly.

Preview Day #4 is here!

You are really going to love this fun stamp preview from The Crafts Meow! They are releasing FIVE new stamp sets. Be sure to stop by my blog from now until May 21st to see all of the new products coming out this month.

Today's stamp set is my FAVE!!!!

This one is called "Let's Face it". The images are so fun and they make me smile. I will be using this one a whole lot!

And by the way, I'm linking this one up to Moxie Fab World's 350 Cards & Gifts Week: The Card Set Challenge.

I've made a set of fun and flirty cards this go round. I used my die-cutter for the circles and added them to some American Crafts paper.

I also used a vibrant red Stampin' Up ink to really make the glasses and text stand out. These cards needed a little bling too. The eyes look so shiny and bright don't they?


I also made a cute container for this card set!

I used the Lifestyle Crafts Popcorn Box Die to make it. {you can get 20% off all dies using code "cokie" at checkout} The paper is from GCD Studios.

How do you like it?
