Because of the heaviness in the air today...I am grateful for any motivation to create, among many things.
I'm sure you've been hugging your family like crazy, as have I.
I needed and wanted to create for the hard working Sunday School teachers that faithfully minister and pray for my girlies.
I created some ornament/gift holders today.
This one took exactly 9 minutes and 48 seconds.
I was inspired by Paulina's 10 Minute Craft Dash #8.
I'm so glad I bought the cinnamon car freshener clips and cranberry gels~
they were fun to coordinate with.
Here is the side that shows the gifts in a clear bag...they are secured by a strip of Scor-Tape.
The base is simply a strip of white cardstock 3 1/2" wide and 11" long, scored in the middle and finished with holes for the twine handle.
The ends are secured with three staples.
These are simple designs like these ornaments I made last year.
The main thing I changed, were lighter embellishments for gift giving.
I stamped the back, so it's pretty from every angle.
Here is another version, a few seconds off the 10 minute mark...using the colors from
I used my FAVORITE ink, Rhubarb Stalk, for
