Did you know that the Doodlebug Let's Kit Together packs come with instructions for multiple projects including cards, layouts, tags, and more?

We had our design team h
ere at OMC put together the project for the Let's Kit Together Baby Girl pack to show you just how cute these projects can be!




First we have some precious layouts!




And how about a card for that upcoming baby shower?



Of course if you are having a baby shower you're going to need invitations...

And then how about a door hanger for when baby is sleeping?

 

And last but not least, an adorable baby booklet to keep all those memories close at hand!


There are so many possibilities with these kits! You can follow the instructions or create your own projects. Each Let's Kit Together pack comes with instructions for multiple projects so you'll never run out of cute ideas. Better yet, you can reuse the instructions with other paper pack and embellishments!

Gift and Money Cards

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

We have so many occasions where we might give a gift card or some money: weddings, birthdays, graduations, recognition for a job well done, etc. The concept of this card can be adapted for any occasion with just a simple change of paper.



Supplies Used:

Oh My Crafts: cardstock: white, blue, purple, acid-free craft tape
Fancy Pants Design: Lilac House and To the Moon Collection Packs, rub-ons

Martha Stewart: scoreboard
My Pink Stamper: Everyday Life
Pink By Design: Simply Everything
Martha Stewart punches: Cherish and Bubblebath
Spellbinders: Labels One S4-161
Fiskars: trimmer


Gift Card Holder:

1. Trim double-sided paper to 10¾" x 4".
2. Make one score at 3½" and the next score line 3½" from the first one. Fold on score lines.
3. Insert right section of card into trimmer and line up from the last score line (closest to right side) on a diagonal to the opposite corner. Once trimmed, fold on score line to make pocket. Use the acid-free craft tape along the bottom of diagonal section and glue together. Ink edges with matching color.
4. Trim a 1" or 1½" piece of contrasting paper for the belly-band. Fold around entire card with the ends matching in the middle on the top with a 1" overlap.
5. Cut a 3¼" square of dark cardstock and punch corners first and then edges with Martha Stewart punches.
6. Cut a 2" square of light cardstock and die cut bracket shape using Spellbinders Label One. Apply rub-on to bracket.
7. Mount the light colored cardstock (with foam squares if desired) to dark cardstock. Then attach cardstock layer to belly band.
8. For inside cover, depending upon card, apply sticker or cut 2 more bracket shapes and layer. Stamp with sentiment. Use a quickie glue pen to trace around bracket and then apply glitter. Shake off excess.
9. If desired, place Be Creative tape just barely away from diagonal edge. Remove liner, cover with cool highlights. Shake off excess and rub finger over glitter.
10. Stamp sentiment on diagonal pocket.
11. Color glitter line in with Copic marker.
12. Slide belly-band over card.


Tips:

-Outline stickers or brackets to give a little more dimension.
-Craft tape is very strong and great for holding pockets in place.
-Covers can be embellished even more.

Melissa said...

"I received my degree 2 weeks ago at the age of 45. I did it while raising a family and going back full time after being laid off from a part time job. While doing this I was on the deans list every semester and was a member of Phi Thetta Kappa. I am now a very proud mom who has a college degree. While going back this last year my youngest daughter has been struggling in high school. She finally managed to bring all her grades up and as I was telling her I was proud of her she said "mom I'm proud of you too!" We did a high 5 to each other."

3. With Footlights Punch, punch white paper 5 ¾”x 5”. Adhere just above the lilac paper, leaving a thin strip of patterned paper showing at the top.  
4. Ink the edges with Boysenberry ink pad. 
5. Die cut 8 white small flowers, but layer one on top of the other to create four flowers. Apply a small jewel in the center of each flower and adhere to the bottom of the scalloped white paper.

Tip: With thin paper, the die cut can cut through 3 sheets at a time.
 

6. Cut out “Wish” from paper pack and ink the edges with Boysenberry ink pad. Apply the purple border rub on to the bottom of the sentiment. Adhere to left side of page.


 

7. On right side of card, apply the blue border rub on.

Case

2. Paint the frame with Ranger Ink paint dabbers and let dry. Paint the entire frame black, or paint the sides the color of the graduate’s tassel or school colors.

4. With “Happy Graduation” cut off the “Happy” so you are left with “Graduation.” Do not forget to cut off the dot to the “i.” 
5. Using transfer tape, apply the vinyl to the frame. Start with “2011,” laying one number down at a time. Then stick “Graduation” down at the bottom, bringing it close to, but not touching the “1”. Lastly, apply “Class Of.” Since these letters are not welded together, apply each one separately, but overlap them slightly so they are close together and they look welded. 
6. Ink the white edges of the graduation cap black and adhere to the top left corner of the frame. 
7. Adhere one antique silver 7 Gypsies hook onto the graduation cap and tie the graduate’s tassel on. 
8. Insert the glass and graduate’s picture in the frame for a perfect graduation gift!
