Little gift idea

I have admired these for some time and finally decided to make some. These will be great little things to "celebrate" the first snow. I just hope that we don't see snow all winter like we did last year! These are super simple to make. Thanks to Jennifer Bennett for the idea and the directions:

For the regular sized tic tacs you will need the following:

1) 3 x 4 1/2 CS
1) 3 x 4 1/2 Patterned Paper
1) 1 3/4 x 2 3/4 CS (image front)
Score at 2 and 2 1/2
Ribbon is adhered between the CS and the Patterned Paper.

I used the big packs of tic tacs so my sizes were:

1) 3.5 x 4.75 CS
1) 3.5 x 4.75 Patterned Paper
1) colonial white cardstock to fit your stamp.

Score at 2 and 2.75
Ribbon is adhered between the CS and the Patterned Paper. I used 15"

This is using Snow Friends, obviously one of my favorite sets!




Easy Peasy

I made this last weekend for my son. Now, he doesn't really get into cards and really doesn't care if I made it but I save things like this so maybe someday he will care. I loved this size. it's 3 x 4.5 and took just minutes to make. The star is a dimensional element that I inked up to give it a little extra.
