Today was paper crafting day. Although many of the girls' projects did not turn out like this exactly (you know what I mean), this is what they were shooting for. Sorry the pictures are a little dim, but you get the idea. Here is a little confession: Basically all my card ideas are inspired from something on SplitCoastStampers.com which is a website where they provide tutorials found in the Resources section (loaded with some really cute ideas and techniques and boxes, etc.) and a Gallery where people post all their card ideas (which admittedly are not all very great - some are super terrible - , but I like to gather different ideas and elements and create my own).
Here is our owl bag topper made from our new Big Kick Sizzix machine. The die is folded in half to create the owl head. It is the Top Note die from Stampin Up - you may just see these on your Christmas cards this year ( and no, not the owl).
Then here is our Flower Pot Pocket Card. The leaves are made from green cardstock that you fold in half and then run at an angle through the crimper. Then you cut the folded crimped cardstock into half circles and when you open them, you have a cute little leaf. Try it sometime.
We started another small project that I will post when they finish drying tomorrow.
