Quick birthday gift card holder!

Hello Friends,

Today I'm sharing a quick birthday gift card holder I made for my sons' friends party tomorrow.

The birthday boy loves gaming so I decided to make this card from Birds SVGs and changed it into a gift card holder. This FREE card is part of one of Birds earlier file collections called Boys Cards. 

I also used an envelope from one of Birds other collections and resized it to fit my card.

Thank you for visiting my quick project for the day!

Happy Crafting!

Exciting Design Team News!

Hello Friends,

Recently Bird from Birds SVGs put out a Design Team call and I am THRILLED to let you know that I am one of the lucky Designers to be chosen to join her team. You can meet the rest of the team up on Birds blog.

For my first project I used the following files from the Roses are Pink set. 

I decided to go with a gold, beige and brown colour palette and put my own touch to it.

I used rose patterned paper for the oval box and the 'leaves' of the card, a gold and clear acetate sheet for the card envelope and a mixture of patterned beige and brown paper for the rest of the designs. I added a bit of subtle 'bling' using some sparkly enamel dots.

And finally I was going to add some candy to the box but I ended up making some coconut sugar cookies and thought they'd be perfect to go in the box to give to my neighbour!

(We are enjoying the left over cookies too ... yum!)

I'm thinking this would be a great hostess gift for any occasion - so quick and easy to put together!

If you haven't already visited Birds site it's definitely worthwhile - she has created beautiful themed collections and also has some fabulous freebies too if you'd like to try before you buy. You can mix and match her files to suit your theme. 

Thank you for visiting today!

Happy Crafting!

Adventure scavenger hunt!

Hi Friends,

My son loves scavenger hunts - any size - any event! Every Summer we usually take advantage of the great weather and I create a hunt starting from the inside to the outside. This year my hands have been full with a cute but demanding puppy and I have not been organized - so yesterday I started with a cool little file from Birds SVGs. 

The file I used is called the Matchbox cutting file. It is such a great little file, cuts easily and once glued slides nicely into the cover. It can be used for any occasion - I see myself using it again for a treat box for Halloween and in a Christmas Advent display!

I chose my 'Adventure' paper and started writing out some of my clues - crack the code and follow the directions ... :-)

I will have these boxes inside so that my son can find these first and work out the next steps!

Thank you for visiting!

Happy Crafting!
