Coffee Cup and Gift Card

Good Morning computer friends!  Today I have a quick post for you that I threw together with some scraps I had on hand.

I had purchased this coffee cup at AC Moore and picked up a Starbucks Gift Card to give to my wonderful Daughter.  I covered the Starbucks Gift Card Holder with some paper and inked it up on the front and back.  Added a cupcake cut and some ribbon.  Stuck on some velcro, added an eyelet to the back to run the ribbon through and waaalaaaa!  Nice little gift.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Enjoy your weekend and Halloween on Monday!!!
Love and Hugs,

Cathryn :)

Good morning!  Welcome to a new Whimsical Wednesday Challenge -  "No Tricks, Just Treats".  The Challenge is to create a project that is a fun way to wrap up a treat.

I used my Gypsy to create a treat holder tag.  I used the fence from the Wrap it Up Cartridge.  I flipped it and welded it to a tag.  I then scored it at the point where I welded the shapes together.  Bent the fence up and attached it to the back with some eyelets.

Sentiment  -  Digital Stamp from The Cutting Cafe

Pumpkin Stamp  -  Peachy Keen Stamps Faceless Fall Fun PKS-647

Crinkle Ribbon  -  Prairie Bird Boutique

Halloween Twine  -  Trendy Twine

Copic Markers
Halloween Ribbon - Celebrate It, Michaels

Black Diamond and Green Stickles
Broken China Distress Ink

For these tags I also used the Stitched Circle Die from My Creative Time for the moon and PK-552 Cut-out Pumpkin Faces from Peachy Keen Stamps.  The leaf ribbon is from Papertrey Ink.

For a random winner this week our generous sponsors have donated:

Winners pick of 3 cut files from The Cutting Cafe
