I received this cute thank you card from my GF Joy aka Tamiko...Isn't this so cute?! I love the coloring - Joy just returned from CHA and was able to take a copic certification class! Lucky girl! Thanks for my card, love it!!

My hostess requested that we make a girly giftcard holder, so of course, I chose to work with the color pink. I used Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink cardstock for the main parts of the card. I had to feature the cute owl from the set Fox and Friends (#118565 cling, #117020 wood). This set is one that SU offers you to purchase them in either cling or wood mounted. I bought the cling set. The sentiment is from a set called Hugs & Wishes, which I just realized is not in the current catalog (sorry!)
The DSP used was a scrap piece from the Sending Love Specialty set. I love the glitter on one side of the DSP. It's so popular that it is on backorder!! So if you ordered this paper from me, SU expects to ship starting early March, eeks! I also used the Pretty in Pink 5/8" satin ribbon. I love satin ribbon! And last but not least, I used the fun Scallop Trim Border punch on an old olive cardstock strip. This cute border punch can be yours FREE with a $50 qualifying order during our sale-a-bration promotion!
Here is what the inside of the giftcard holder looks like:
Simple to make. Cut your cardstock 4 1/4" X 11". Score 1" and 6" and that's it! I'd secure the little pocket for the gift card with brads on each side so it won't pop open (when using adhesive).Just wanted to let you all know that the partners for the February OCS have been sent out. It's been a year since we've been doing the monthly one card swap, can you believe that? I just wanted to let you all know that although I keep a list of the monthly swappers (who swapped with who), sometimes you might end up with someone you swapped with before. If this is a problem for you and would like me to find you a new partner, or if I can't find you a partner, I will be your partner.
I am thinking of a better system to keep track of your partners so that you will be able to meet new people. I appreciate your patience.
Thanks to all of you who continue to participate in this monthly swap. I look forward to seeing all of the beautiful cards you make for your one card swaps!

Wow! it's been fun sharing some fun candy with you. I'll be gathering up more candy to share in the next week or so...stay tuned for that and come back tomorrow to see my second fun project from my weekend workshop! Thank you for your visit and for your sweet comments!
It's been a while since I did a workshop. We're talking years! I had a request to give a workshop this past Saturday and I have to admit, it was alot of fun! So nice to get to meet new people who are excited about crafting. Here is one of the projects that we made. The hostess requested a Valentine's project using the matchbox die so here's what I came up with. Simple yet cute.
I featured the new pinking hearts border punch (#117649), the small heart punch (#117193) and the cling stamp set Well Scripted (#118601 cling, #117072 wood). Cardstock colors: pretty in pink, real red and soft suede.
Hope you are all enjoying your Superbowl Sunday! I'm not a football fan, so I spent the whole day cleaning the house - so much fun! (NOT!) I will be announcing the winner of the blog candy tomorrow! I totally forgot to put a deadline on it, but it seems like the commenting stopped, so I'll have a winner for you tomorrow and a second project to share from my workshop.
Happy Aloha Friday! I can't believe that I made it through the week. Still feeling kind of junky, so I guess I better rest and take it easy. I'll follow the fine example that Mochiko is showing us here. Animals know how to relax, don't you think?? It's cold for me here in Hawaii...I feel that chill in the air, but I'm sure nothing compared to you people dealing with the snow!
I wanted to share with you today what I received from my DL Charlotte. Aren't these the cutest? I love these thin cello bags, look how perfect these m&m's fit in there, love it! Thanks so much Charlotte!

There's been a bunch of birthdays that we celebrated just in the last month, so here is what I came up with in wrapping up a mini milk carton die (from SU). Yup! that's what is in this gift here. Here's the front cover. I used the new Sweet Pea felt flowers (117266), love these, so cute! Can you see the cute little border on the bottom of the cover?? You can earn this border punch FREE as one of the SAB selections!! Love this too!
Here's a side view with the flap opened.
A view of my built in card. I'm using the new set Well Scripted (117072 wood, 118601 clear) - so pretty yeah?
Here's a close up of the felt flowers...
I used two 1/2: pink epoxy brads (117271)and wrapped silver cord around it as my closure. Those brads are so cool and I love the squishy feel of it! The sentiment is from A Little Birthday Cheer (120242) got it FREE as a SAB selection too! I pnnched out the sentiment using my modern label punch (116630). BTW, the image is from an older stamp set called Pun Fun. It's still available in the idea book and catalog (115054).
This was something I just made up as I went along...I had no clue where I was going with this, but I'm happy with the result! Thanks for stopping by today. Reading all of your sweet comments are helping me get back into the crafty mood...
