Hershey Kisses gift card holder

This is another item for the upcoming Jingle Bell Craft Fair at my son's high school.  I am making several in different colors and designs, but this is my first one based on the tutorial I found on Pinterest here.
The base is Cherry Cobbler and stamped in Cherry Cobbler using the star from Stampin Up's Tin of Tags.  The window is punched from the Word Window punch.  I used a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler, the string and plugs in Momento Tuxedo Black, and the bulbs in Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, and Lemon Lime Twist.  The bulbs are popped onto dimensionals.  A 1" circle punch was used to make the notch for the gift card.

The back of the gift box is also in Very Vanilla and stamps from Tin of Tags are stamped in Tuxedo Black and Daffodil Delight.
Thanks for looking!  April

Fall Pumpkin

This is a medium pumpkin I got at Michaels and added vinyl.  The images were free and found on Pinterest.  On one side, I did a Halloween theme, the other side is Thanksgiving themed.  The vinyl isn't happy about sticking to the pumpkin as it is a bit slick but with some patience and time, it stays.  I love that I will have this for several coming years and it can weather indoor or outdoor.  Thanks for looking!  April

Hello Fall pumpkin

I am not a fan of the mess involved in carving pumpkins, so I picked up a few fake ones from Michaels.  I cut a cute vinyl design on my Cricut and put it in place.  It turned out great, after I wrestled with the curve a bit, and I gifted it to our neighbors across the street.  Be on the look out for a couple more I will be making with a Halloween theme on one side and fall on the other.  Thanks for looking!  April

13th birthday

This card is for the youngest of my bestie's boys.  His milestone birthday was last month and I wanted a fun card for him that wasn't too babyish or girly.  (I will admit, I mixed up what his fav color with that of his brother -oops!)

The base of the card is kraft and stamped in Crumb Cake using Number of Years stamp set.  I inked the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo.  The sentiment is stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black.  The number is stamped on retired Green Galore with Green Galore ink, then cut with coordinating framelits.  I popped them up on dimensionals, as well as the little stars, punched from Daffodil Delight.  Last, a few flags made from washi tape, scrap Daffodil Delight, and vellum, attached with a mini staple.  

Thanks for looking!  April

16th Birthday

I made this card for my son's best friend.  I love that my best friend's kids are my kids closest buddies and her boys love every hand-made card.  I try to keep in mind their interests or favorites and work them into the card.  This time, I focused on color and the big milestone.
The base of the card is Stampin Up Smoky Slate and stamped in Smoky Slate with Epic Celebration stamps.  I used layers from Picture Perfect Party (retired paper) and Basic Grey.  It is hard to see but the Basic Grey is stamped with Here's to an Epic Celebration in Basic Grey.  The 16 is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist on Whisper White, using the Number of Years set and cut with the coordinating framelits.  The "th" and "birthday" banner are also from the Number of Years set and stamped on Whisper White in Momento Jet Black Ink.

Inside, I did a simple layer of Whisper White stamped with the sneakers from Epic Celebration and the sentiment from Birthday Wit.  I colored the images with Lemon Lime Twist using a blending pen.  Thanks for looking!  April
