Christmas Tree Hair clips...

I recently went to a fall fair and saw a craft booth that had some very adorable hair clips for girls. However, they were being sold at $5 to $8 each. So, when I got home I looked up hair clips and found a free tutorial on how to make these. I ordered some very inexpensive clips and had these made with my own Stampin' Up! ribbon! Then I created this fun 3x3 card to hold the clip and give it as a gift! I used the slit punch to create a spot to slide the clip into. Wow - what fun and quite simple! Love, love, love it!!!

Blog Tour Day 2

Here is my sample with the box open. I placed a window sheet inside the lid to cover the heart opening, and lined the box with the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. Wow - what a great variety of samples! I am loving this tour! There are lots of talented ladies in this group!

Here is my second sample... this card uses Wings of Friendship (which is a level 2 Hostess set) and it uses the new in-color paper, Bermuda Bay. In addition, I used Rich Razzleberry Polka-Dot Ribbon, Rich Razzleberry ink, Bermuda Bay ink, Old Olive ink, and white embossed the words. I then used the large oval punch for the words and also punch out a piece of Rich Razzleberry paper with the new Scalloped Oval punch. The birds eye is a old olive brad with a small punch of Crushed Curry paper glued to it and then dotted with a black marker.
