Clothes Pin Magnets & Card

I made these for my friend. She loves purple and hearts. I painted the large clothes pins with a purple glitter paint on the sides. This paint did not work so well. Much better in theory than execution. So the little ones I inked with a purple stamp pad. I then glued paper to the top and bottom of the clips. I hot glued a brad attached to a flower on the front. Last I put magnet strips on the back. They came out ok for my first try but I have some ideas how to make them better next time.

I took a piece of card stock and embossed it then added a happy birthday tag to it. The happy birthday tag was made from a glue pad stamped image then glittered. I have never used a glue pad before and I really liked it. I will be using glue and glitter more often.

I made a tag for the top. I printed the happy birthday with her name then used my nestabilities to cut out the scallops. I embossed the papers with hearts and put it all together as you see in the picture, with a flower ribbon running across the front.

Last I put it all together with them in a bag.

I know she will like it. She is a great person and loves everything I make so I figured she would be my trial & error.
I made her a card all in purple as well. She likes monkeys so I cut them from the Paisely cart. I embossed the paper with my happy bday plate. I printed the happy birthday and wrapped a ribbon around it. I made this card with a slider insert, which I have never done. I glued the edges and them made the insert.

My top ten cards of 2010

Suzi over at The Manic World of Mrs Weyremaster has challenged us to pick our top 10 favorite cards of 2010. Here is what I came up with.

Mojo Monday Challenge 171

This card was pretty simple to make. Lots of cut out square and rectangles. The only thing unique I did was took a plain white flower and decorated it with alcohol ink then sprayed with glitter and added a button in the center glued to a brad.

It is so weird not to have a million projects I am making as gifts. I have been so busy with Xmas presents that now I am not sure what to do with myself.

Whisks

I made a couple of these. I put them on top of food containers I gave out. The back said who the gift was from. They were a huge hit.

Tons of snowman cards

I have an obsession with snowman, so I made a lot of these cards. I love the snowman on Doodlecharms. It is my favorite snowman. I made several cards for all the ladies that work with my hubby.

Gift Card Holders

I made several different gift card holders. I wanted to make them a little more personal.

This one I made like a candy bar wrapper. I used a digi stamp that I had found online for free. I would love to tell you where but I save them to my computer and that is that.

I posted this one in another post on here. I did this one very much like the previous one. Just like a candy bar wrapper.

These two I made little envelopes around the gift card and decorated them.

This one I did a candy bar wrapper fold again and attached it to the present.

My students glitter oraments

I had my 3rd grade students make these as gifts to give out to their parents. We used the plastic ones for these. I cut a tag from Tags, Boxes & More cartridge for them and they decorated it with a felt sticker and made a card to go with it. I wish I had remembered to take pictures of their cards before they sealed them in an envelope because they were all one of a kind even though I have pre cut all the pieces for them. It is amazing what kids come up with even after explicit instructions.

Treat Containers

I made these little popcorn containers from the tags, box, and more cartridge at 7 inches. I filled them with candies, a yo-yo and a little reindeer toy. I made a candy cane heart by hot gluing two candy canes together. I cut a 5 in stocking from Christmas Cheer and put their names on them. They came out cute and where very simple.

Gift Wrapping

I got a little creative wrapping some gift cards and odd shaped things this year.



This is holding a gift card. I attached it to a bottle of wine and made a matching card to go with it.




This is the matching card I put in the red envelope on top.




I decorated a couple boxes with decorative paper and put a ribbon around the edge of the lid.

I put a gift card inside these little snowman and attached them to the boxes I made.
I printed the snowman faces from a free file on this blog. http://creationsbyk8.blogspot.com/2010/12/snowmen-candy-bars.html



Inside the boxes I put a message under candy so they had to eat there way too it.

I took a 12x12 piece of paper and wrapped it around some cigars and gift certificate. I had to add a little decoration even though it was for a male, I added a candy cane heart.

Glitter Ornaments

I can finally post all the glitter ornaments I made. I had to wait since they were gifts and many people check my blog. I did the same as so many people put there did. I used floor wax inside and then fine glitter. I decorated the outside with vinyl cut outs. I put snowflakes on all them. I made some with names, some with Initials, and others with reindeer, stocking, penguin cut outs.


These two sets I did not personalize. Bows are not my strength but they came out pretty good.









All of these where personalized with names and or initials. Everyone loved them. They were a huge hit as I am sure many of you found out as well.
