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!

Preparing for Christmas!

Hello Crafty Friends,

I'm back with a new Design Team project using files from a fabulous collection from Birds SVGs called Christmas Toy Shop. 

Today I will be sharing the Gift Bag and the Gift Tag - this set also includes the Toy Shop Scene Card and Envelope.

The Christmas Toy Shop set - Birds SVGs

I chose my patterned paper from My Mind's Eye 'Holiday Cheer' paper pad that I'd purchased from Michaels. I loved the olive green colour of the floral paper and used that for the main part of the bag. 

I used a different pattern but the same olive green colour for the sides and for the outside part of the handle. I used the red version of this pattern for the shop front window.

 I used some red ribbon and attached a cute little bow, some sparkly enamel dots on the one side and gave the 'snow' a touch of clear Wink of Stella for it to glisten.

With the gift tag I matched the gift bag colours and found a dark brown piece of card from my scraps to make the outer part of the bear. I added the clear Wink of Stella to the bear and the 'snow' for some sparkle. I added some foam dots to expand the shop window. I also used the same ribbon as the bow on the gift bag and attached it to the tag.

This Christmas Toy Shop file and a lot of gorgeous Christmas FREEBIES! can be found on Birds site - it's definitely worth a visit to her store. All the files are designed with love and come with great step by step video instructions and a detailed pdf file.

Thank you for visiting today!

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!
