Welcome to Running With Scissors, Spatulas, and Sneakers! I hope you have been enjoying all the wonderful holiday projects from the Scrap Tiffany Designers. The hop starts at Scrap Tiffany, so if you didn't start there I highly encourage you to begin there and then blog hop all the way back to me.
My name is Katie. I am so excited to show you the first projects I have worked on for this upcoming holiday season.
This year I decided to make some necklace charms and ornaments using Tim Holtz Fragments. The thing about creating pretty little trinkets like these is I always want a nice way to showcase them as gifts.
Matchbook Gift Card
I made this Riley/Porter necklace for my girlfriend. Instead of wrapping it inside a box, I created a matchbook card to show it off.
How I made this matchbook card:
1) I trimmed Basic Grey paper to 12" x 4.5".
2) Then I scored the bottom of the card at the 3/4" mark and used a small bit of adhesive in the scored crease and folded to create the flap.
3) I approximated the top of the card and scored two more creased, 1/2" apart to create flat top of the card.
4) To close the card, crease at top scored marks and place front of card neatly into folded bottom crease.
5) I cut a large scalloped square out of the reverse side of the BG paper then cut a window in the square and in the front of the card so the necklace would show.
6) I used my Crop-a-Dile to punch two, evenly spaced, holes in the top of the card.
7) I embellished the card to my liking then tied the necklace at the top of card making sure the charm showed through the card window.
Library Pocket Gift Holder
I simply embellished a library pocket and then placed two large eyelets at the top of the library pocket so there was a place to tie the ornament charm.
I love feedback (who doesn't?) & have a small prize for one random comment left on this blog hop post. If you become a new follower of my blog AND leave a comment I will put your name in the drawing twice. Winner will be posted on Nov 10th.
I hope you enjoyed my simple holiday projects.
