Thank You Card

Tonight's craft is a Thank You card made with a decorative hole punch, patterned paper and a couple of embellishments:

To make this card I stuck patterned paper onto a card blank and used a scalloped circle to cut out the shape.  I then attached a text paragraph from a magazine onto the inside of the card.  Next I added the gold ribbon bow, the butterfly embellishment and the wording.

I'm thinking I may use  a similar idea as one of my  End of Term Thank you Teacher's card...

I forgot to show you the bracelets I bought when we were camping:

Nice aren't they?  They were bought from the Campsite's Organic Food shop and were made in India.

(Smaller ones £3.50 each, Larger one £4.00! Bargains!)

See you tomorrow,

Valentine's Trial Run!

I've never made one of these treat bags before but often see them on other people's blogs and I quite fancied a go. 

This was my trial bag:

I say 'trial' because I need to check its all going to work for my proper one!  lol  (trying also means I get to rip it all open and scoff the contents!) 

It's a bit of a poor man's treat bag because I haven't got a die cut for the header so I had to  draw and cut aroud this:

It was a charity shop frame bought specifically so I could draw around its outisde edge!

I hand drew all the stitching and lettering on the labels and flower and stuck a red button (shank removed) onto the centre of the flower. Wonderful Glossy Accents were added to the hearts.

Finally, I used a bag sealer to keep the contents fresh and used my stapler to add the bag to the label:

SNAAAP!!!
