DIY Christmas Greeting Card Keepsake Ornament

So what do you do with all the Christmas Greeting cards you received? 

I can't bring myself to throwing them out, after all I feel like they are little gifts when you open the mail. Especially those that are so personal and have pictures of friends and family on them. 

 So, for today's post I want to share with you how I re-purpose the cards and turn them into keepsake ornaments. Here is 2016's Christmas Keepsake Ornament.

Pictured below are a few other examples of the ornaments I have made from previous years using the same technique. You can make these any shape you want as long as you can fold them in half.

Watch how I create one of these yearly Greeting Card Keepsake Ornaments in my latest YouTube video. I will have a links to all the supplies I used below this blog post and in the video description.

For another unique way of creating a keepsake ornament, click HERE to see how I made my 2012 ornament. I really love how this one turned out, but to be honest it was a little more work and it is why I have been doing them like I am showing you today ;)

Hope you have been inspired today and start creating some of your own Christmas Greeting Card Keepsake Ornaments. Remember you can use this idea and create ornaments to represent any occasion and then hang them as memories of the years on your Christmas tree!

Birthday Cake Card

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to the New Year :)

Today I want to share with you this beautiful birthday cake card that I recently made. I am SO in love with this stamp from Concord and 9th. It is gorgeous and perfect for so many occasions! 

I did film a process video for those that would like to see how this card was created.  The card from start to finish took approximately 1 hour but as you will see the video was really sped up.

Christmas Coffee Cup Gift Card Envelopes and Cards for Teachers

Hey All! 

Sorry I have been MIA for a few weeks. The Christmas craze has come over me and has left with little time for crafting!

So today I have a card and some Coffee Cup Gift Card Envelopes I made for the teachers to share with you! So cute and really quick to make. If you are still looking for a last minute gift idea, there is still plenty of time to make these!

For the card background, I wanted to create a stitch sweater look. So I used MFT stitched line dies to achieve the look I wanted. Really love how it turned out!
For the full list of products I used please check out the links below the post.

These Coffee Cup Gift Card Envelopes will be perfect for those Starbucks gift cards that teachers need for their daily dose of Java!

I filmed the process video... so for those that like to watch, this is for you!

Hope this has given you some crafty gift ideas for those coffee loving friends in your life :)
