Happy Weekend my Friends!
What are you working on today?
With my first Fall Craft Show only a week and a half away, I'm busy, busy trying to be sure I have enough goodies available to sell. Besides my cards, I try to have a few 'little items' for folks to purchase for those folks that they want to give a little something too but not spend a lot of $$$.
So, today I'm working on gift card holders and finger nail file holders.
Both were great sellers at past shows.
I decided to makes these in 'mass production' form this year.
These gift card holders will fit in a 5" x 3 5/8" envelope.
These gift card holders will fit in a 5" x 3 5/8" envelope.
- Cut my base cards (4 15/16" x 8 1/2"), score at 3" & 6 1/2".
- Round all edges with Creative Memories corner rounder.
- On the lower portion, (card holder panel) edge with a gold Pilot Marker.
- Punch the 'easy pull' opening in the bottom panel using a circle punch.
- Stamp my name/info on the back.
TIME TO DECORATE THE FRONTS
- Go through my holiday scraps to find pieces large enough for front panels.
- Top Panel - 4 3/4" x 2 3/4"
- Lower Panel: 4 3/4" x 1 3/4"
- Corner round the edges to match base card.
- Scor-tape left & right sides of lower (card holder) panel.
- Embellish front panel to your liking.
The Fingernail File Holders were a great hit last year so I'm making a few more and a couple different sizes this year! This is another fabulous project to use up those scraps!!!
I shared a tutorial on making these holders awhile back and if you're interested, you can click HERE for those instructions. I purchase my emery boards at a local beauty supply house but I'm sure you can find them other locations such as Walmart, Target, etc.
To display this handy little item, I have decorated a couple Bushes Beans cans with holiday pattern paper. Another great use for those scraps that keep piling up!
Here are a few challenges I'd like to share in today:
Bloggers Challenge - Alter It (Bushes Beans cans)
Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - Non Card Project
Craft for the Craic - Something with Circles on it (sentiment circles on nail files)
Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge - More than one fold
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Christmas
Dream it up Challenge - Christmas and the Holidays
Well, enough chit chat ... I'd better get back to work! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and thank so much for stopping by! I truly enjoy your visit & comments!
As always . . .
