Christmas Gift Cards and Tags #2

Wow, my life is pretty busy right now but I wanted to show you a couple more projects we will be making in class this Saturday:



Here is a picture of one of the gift card holders which looks like a present. When you open up the gift card holder, the gift card slides up. We will be using some heavy weight paper here which makes your project look so professional!

The other item is an ornament tag using this pretty ribbon I recently picked up. Hopefully I'll have time to post another gift card holder so stay tuned!

Thank you for stopping by!

Bosses' Day Cards

On bosses' day, breakfast was on me!  I brought a pastry, banana, orange juice and a little note from me.
For the male boss, one of my favorite white collar shift cards:

For the female, white bossing, copic coloring on kraft card:

Ningyogami cards

WOW!  It's been a while since I have posted anything.  It's seldom that I actually sit down on the computer.  Most times I'm on the ipad or the iphone.  Well, it is difficult blogging on the mobiles!

Class this month has been postponed to November 7th.  We will be creating Christmas tags, and gift cards.  Sneak peaks coming soon.

Here's some Ningyogami cards I've been playing around with:

They were fun! 

Craft fair season is kicking up.  My first one was yesterday.  Our next one is November 21, Parker Methodist Church in Kaneohe.  If you plan to visit, please say, Hi!!

Thank you for stopping by and I'll try to post more often!

Bottle Cap Craft

 Needed an ID for a flash drive. Since I had a bottle cap available, I quickly checked online to see how others were creating their cute bottle cap jewelry.

Did you know that you can just run it through the Big Shot?  Punch a hole with your Crop-a-Dile and either use Crystal Lacquer or adhere a clear acrylic 1" circle on it.  Add a chain or key holder like I did and you are all done!

 Speak of ID Tags, here's one you maybe interested in. I've been doing it for years!  At the hardware are laminated chip samples.

I've taken a couple of these samples, added stickers, punch art, etc., etc.  Then using a Versamark stamp pad, ink all over the front of the plate.  Then use UTEE (ultra thick embossing powder) and emboss the front of the laminated chip.  In the back of the laminated chip I usually print or label my phone number or address ("If lost, please return to ...").  I've added these personalized laminated chips on our suitcases, backpacks, lunch pairs and other cases.  They last forever!!  The daisy tag above is actually the first one I did 12 years ago.  It was sealed with regular embossing powder so over the years the embossing was starting to fall out.  To make it new again, I re-embossed it with the UTEE.

Happy crafting!!!

Ningyogami cards

I learned how to do a different ningyogami doll from Kelli a while ago.  It entailed more folding.  Well, I finally had some play time to create more of these cute dolls.  Here's they are:

 That was fun!  I was even able to use some of my Graphic 45 Bird Song scraps.  Here's one up close:

Thanks, Kell!  L-o-v-e it!!!

Card Buffet Class

Hi everyone!  This past week we have been drenched with rain.  Here's a picture of Friday's slow drive down from the Pali Tunnels on the windward size of Oahu.  On a normal day, you could see the ocean and mountains in front of you.  However, the rain just pelted down on us, courtesy of what was left over from Hurricane Ignacio, now just a tropical storm.  The brown covering on the road is about 3-4 inches of running water streaming down.

On to the next scheduled class:  This one is called a Card Buffet.  For this class, you will have the opportunity to create as many cards as you can in the time frame from 1:30p to 4:30 p.m. There will be about 10 different cards available to choose.  The way the class works is there will be a sample card with all the supplies to make that card.  Following the sample, you will be able to create the card.  Now these are all simple cards to put together.  In other words, I will not be teaching but will be available if you have any questions or have problems.  Card kits are not exactly the same but as close to the sample as possible.  The goal is to use all these extra pieces of card items I have lying around ;o)

Class is scheduled for September 26 from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at A Place in Time.  Cost is $23.00.  Please bring the following items which is your basic supply kit:  Paper trimmer, scissors, all times of adhesive (liquid, tape, etc.), ruler, dimensional tape, black ink pad, black pen, corner rounder, scor-pal (card size), bone folder, piercing tool.

The above cards are just a sample of some of the cards available for you to create.  If you are interested in attending, please call Bill at A Place in Time or email me.  Thank you for stopping by!
