In Appreciation

It’s that time of year here to express appreciation for all the work people do throughout the school year. Although I no longer have kids in school, I’m still involved with the Youth Ministry program at our church and have become the designated creator of gift card holders. The first batch I made with the new Papertrey Ink die “Seed Packet” after I saw these darling ones at Lime Doodle. The papers are all from MME’s Lime Twist “Fly a Kite” paper pad. Bright and cheerful, and good for both men and women. I cut the Fillable Frames #11 die and then stamped it with the coordinating frame. The sentiment came from Autumn Abundance, all Papertrey Ink products.

Then I made another set which I posted on the Scrap-Mart blog. These were cut on my Silhouette which makes short work of  projects like this. You can cut two at once from an 8.5X11 piece of cardstock. I used papers from October Afternoon’s Campfire papers, labels from the same line, and stamped them with a sentiment from Heartfelt Creations. On these I added a bit of ribbon.

Both sets are cut from two-sided papers so the inside is pretty cute, too.
