Fun Fold Friday- Happy Hedgehogs Gift Card Holder

Fun Fold Friday with this "hidden" gift card in the Happy Hedgehogs Hegde!!!

My son loves Hedgehogs, so I knew I had to get this stamp set as soon I saw it in the new Mini Catalog! I paired it with some fun Sale-a-bration items and the Basic Border Dies to create a gift card holding card! 

 

This awesome cloud like paper is the FREE Designer Series Paper found in the Sale-a-bration flyer! It is called Simply Marbleous (and it truly is)! 

I grabbed the saying from the Sale-a-bration stamp set, called Friendly Hello and it is FREE with a $100 order. 

That cute butterfly I stamped directly onto the DSP and colored it in with Stampin' Blends. The second little hedgehog does not have a punch to cut it out perfectly, so watch my video to see my fussy cutting tip!

Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Banner Making

 

Tuesday's Tip at Ten is a tip on how to make a perfect banner! 

I made the banner above for a children' room in my church. Sometimes banners can be tricky to make each banner the same size. 

My tip to help keep them all the same is simple and easy once you know how. 

1. Cut your banner to the size you want (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).

2. Use the Basic Borders Dies on one end and save the end which cut off. 

3. Use that end to line up on the next banner which you are to cut and place the die over it to line it up. 

Here is a close up of the cut off piece over the next banner piece. 

Hope this helps you make you a banner!!!

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
