Fun Gift Card Holder and Yummy Paper

I never seem to use the same design of gift holder twice but I am really loving this design. There are 3 teachers retiring from our school this year so our PAC has decided to give the teachers gift cards to a local business. I cannot deny that I love bold colours so this patterned paper called Island Oasis, was a must have. I live it so much that I want to hoard it but I am trying not to do that anymore. My new philosphy is to use what I love to create beautiful projects until I tire of the paper.

The tempting turquoise rectangle on the back panel can be used to put a picture. I am going to try to create a masculine now for Father's Day and birthdays. Masculine cards are challenge for me but I must get one done. I will try to post that one soon.

Happy Stamping,

Father's Day Tin and Treats

Here is a very quick and simple project that I made the other day. It can be a Father's Day gift or a man's birthday gift. I am not very fond of the patterned paper (Manchester) so it was really difficult to love this project. The tin is a DVD tin that I purchased awhile ago from a business in Vancouver. I wrapped 16 Riesen candies in the same patterned paper. Instead of putting candies inside, you could use clear envelopes to make a mini scrapbook for dad. Here is a tutorial at splitcoaststampers: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/dvdtinscrapbook/
