Yummy Note Card Set

Hi!!  I am super excited to share this Yummy note card set today at CricutDiva!!

I am also sharing this card set with my dear friend Sheila at She's A Sassy Lady today!

I made a set of 3x3 cards with truffles on them from the Cricut Imagine Yummy Cartridge.

I printed out the light pink distressed-look pattern on white cardstock to use as background paper for my cards.  I cut them to 2 7/8" squares and adhered them to my note card (3x6 folded in half).

I printed and cut out the three truffles and mini cake at 2" each.  I inked the edges in Vintage Photo ink, and added a little stickles to each piece and let dry.

Before I adhered the patterned paper to the card, I wrapped a piece of 3Girl Jam 1/3 the way up the paper.  I chose the blue to bring out the bit of blue in each card.

I got the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch - super cool new toy!!!  I wanted to make envelopes for my little note cards.

Making the envelopes were fun, once I watched a YubeVideo on how!!

I found this Enveolope Gum at Archivers to seal the envelopes.  I just painted the glue on and let it dry.  It just needs a little water to seal.

I made a little folder to keep the card set in - this makes a great gift idea!!

I started with a piece of Kraft cardstock and cut it to 8 1/2" x 6".  Placing the paper horizontally on my Score Board, I scored 2" up from the bottom to create the pocket.

I turned the paper to score the fold lines.  I scored at 4 1/8" and 4 3/8".

I used my ATG gun to adhere the center of the bottom flap (pocket) to the spine of the folder.

I punched a hole on each side of the pocket.  I ran a piece of 3Girl Jam ribbon across the inside of the folder and used a glue dot in the spine to hold the ribbon down. 

When you close the folder, simply tie a pretty bow.

What a Yummy Gift card set!  These are great for teachers, friends or even secret pals.  I included this set in an Easter Swap gift with another paper crafter!

I also linked up my card set at Sarah Hamer Designs!!

Love Mini (File Folder)

If you are looking for the Little Prince Blog Hop, please go HERE.

I am super excited to be at She's A Sassy Lady today.  

I do not have an April Fool's project for you, unless you count the big April Fool's joke Mother Nature has been playing on us!!!

I am using spring colors because I am waiting patiently for spring weather to come!!!

I saw a project similar to this a while back and wanted to give it a try.  I am taking a short break from scrapbooking - I have been at it hard and heavy since my middle son will graduate next month and I have to have his album completed!!

I bought a pack of 10 file folders at the Dollar Store and paired one up with this yummy DCWV Stack of paper called Collage Art.  I found this at Michaels.

I took one of the file folders to make a template.  I folded the bottom 4" up to create a pocket.  I then folded in 4" from the center out on each side.  This was easier than measuring from the outside edge due to the tab.  

I have seen other dimensions, I just kind of eyeballed what I wanted and measured.

The banner was fussy cut from one of the squares.

Can you believe I did not even use my Gypsy or Cricut???

I used my ATG gun to adhere the edges of the pockets.

I cut some pieces from the paper pack.  One page had several sayings and a couple of journal tags on it.  I trimmed them to fit my space.

I inked all of the edges in pink.

Here is the back.  I used a big piece of yellow paper to cover the back.

I adhered some 3Girl JAM ribbon under the paper in order to tie the mini album closed.

This was a fun little project to make.  I have 8 more file folders and lots of paper so I will probably make more :)

Thanks Sheila for having me over today!!

I am also linking up at Pink By Design :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful April!
