Happy Monday!
Did you have a wonderful Christmas? We sure did! We spent Christmas Eve with my sweet Mama and then Christmas Day was spent at home just relaxing and enjoying each other.
Today I'm working with
The Cutting Cafe' goodies! Also, you can sign up for a chance to win a free set from The Cutting Cafe'. I'll be giving away an oldie but a goodie, the
Gift Card and Money Holder Set.
I recycled on this card. The black and white background paper is the inside of a bill envelope. Isn't it a lovely designer paper? Best of all...it was FREE!
The mustache cut out, I got
HERE. It was free too! YAY for free when you are creating! Pinterest is my friend!
I got the saying idea from Pinterest too.
THIS little project got my juices flowing! So adorable I must say!
I stamped Merry Christmas on the back flap for a little sweet message before they open the flap and find the good stuff inside! Oh and the little green sprigs of fern are made by using my Martha Stewart punch and then adding some tiny glass beads for berries. Close up in the next picture.
This is another free patterned paper. It's the most popular of my giant collection of bill envelopes. Also, see the ric-rac trim. I made that using a strip of red and a strip of white polka dotted ric-rac and wrapping them together. Uuumm, yeah, Pinterest idea again! Look
HERE for my inspiration!
Lastly, just tuck in a few bills and you have an adorable gift that everyone will love! I suppose I should have decorated the back too, but I was in a bit of a last minute time crunch and I did not this time.
Please be sure to leave a comment so you will have a chance to win on Saturday, New Year's Eve when I draw a lucky winner! Good Luck!
Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day! HUGS! :)
NOTE: The Cutting Cafe' is having a Cyber Monday sale today! Check it out

OH MY GOSH...I have GOT to make this...I had GOT to remember this for next year because I want to do the ornament with a matching card for my Dad!
ReplyDeleteA handful of years ago we surprised my Daddy on Father's Day by all coming out wearing mustaches. It was great and we got a ton of hilarious photos...one of my fav scrap pages was one of those! =)
So this is my fav stop on the hop I guess...not that I don't love the others but I just get a kick of a "stash" stuff. hahahaha!
What a treat...got to go pin that as well!
HUGS!!!!! Leah
Love the recycling idea. And I'm going to start checking my bill envelopes from now on~lol. I love your braided trim too. It's perfect for this project. Pinterest is one of my favorite places to spend my time. It's like being in a big room and talking crafts and ideas with a group of great ladies. Really kick starts my creative mojo. have a wonderful New Year!
ReplyDeleteI love this. The way the ribbons intertwine is awesome. Did you do that or did it come that way? It is so pretty. I think I will try to do something for my stepsons like that next year. They are getting too old to appreciate gifts any more. LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs...Cindy
Really fun! Great details, love your free "designer paper", too! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your recycling! The holder is adorable:)

ReplyDeletewhat a fun and adorable idea. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love it!
ReplyDeleteDeeDee, this card is sheer genius! Talk about thinking outside the box (or envelope as the case may be). Recycling is one of my favorite things to do! I reuse bits of interesting wrapping paper and bags.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project - love the addition of the red/white ric-rac and the red beads
ReplyDeletehow cute! I love that you recycled so much
