Gift Card Holder, and bag/card holder Pictorial

Good morning Fellow Cricuteers!

I hope your day is going well.  Today is my turn to take over the daily post at Exploring Cricut :)And I got quick project for you :)



I used the card on p.76 of the  Quilted Christmas cart and turned it into a Gift Card Holder by adding a rectangle to the straight edge of the card, scored and folded it over, glued it and voila! didn't I say it was simple?
To embellish it a little bit, I created a ribbon band to close it, using 9.5 " of satin ribbon , stamped my sentiment from Jaded Blossom on the back using Staz On, (happy mishap! I did not mean for it to happen, but later I tried on the right side of the ribbon and it bleed :? so, I kept it on the wrong side). Just some glittery accents on the hearts and snowflake and done! (want the cutting file, let me know in your comment).

 Now, I promised a tutorial on last week's post, I could not finish my video due to extreme cases of, mom I am hungry!!, mom I am thirsty!, or plain mooooom!!!... and the Roofing workers next door :? Needless to say there was too much noise around here but I hope the pictures help a little, if you want the cutting file, let me know, I have not uploaded them yet to Project Center or the Box, but I will share with you my loyal followers per request :)just leave me a way to contact you :)



For the purpose of the tutorial, I used plain orange card stock so you can see the scoring better ;), but you can emboss your paper and then score as I did with the white bag.

I used Tacky tape to glue the bag together and I strongly recommend to use heavy card stock for both, your bag base and your holder otherwise it will be flimsy.


Now for the handle: this is how my Virtual mat looks like:




Once it is cut: 
Score, fold and hole punch as shown.

Glue back of the handle to bag and Hole punch the bag using the handle's holes as reference. Thread ribbon through the four layers and tie a bow.

Front and back of bag.

This bag holds 2 (3oz) bottles of lotion or hand sanitizer final measurement: H 4.75" x L 4.5" x D 2"

And last but not least, thank you for all your sweet comments and to all that played along last week's challenge! Random.org chose the winner of the hop and the lucky lady is:

I love gingerbread and this one is so cute on your little gift card holder! Love the hearts!

Summer Fun Blog Hop, day 4

Hello friends, welcome to day 4 of our Summer Fun Blog Hop!                                 Don't you just love all the projects showcased this week? I am so lucky to be part of this fantastic hop I could not resist to keep on creating and today I want to share with you another Farm inspired project. This time I created a Piñata by recycling a box, using some scrap card stock, crepe paper, the fabulous eBosser, Xyron Corner Glue Stick, sticker maker and the X Tape Runner. I started by removing the flaps from the top of the box and then scoring two horizontal lines on the sides of it and a diagonal from the upper center point to the line on the sides. Cut slits on the corners all the way to the scored lines. Cut a small square on each side -just below the scored line-to run the rope thru them. Also, cut an opening on the back so you can fill it with goodies. Folded the new flaps inwards. Gl...
