Awwwww, isn't he cute?! I have to admit, it was kind of weird, cutting up the photo, but in the end, it all comes back together and it's all good. (although now that I look at the blocks from this angle, the one photo isn't quite lined up correctly. oops).
Thought I'd share this shot to show how one of the photo sides looks on the finished product.
I've decided to offer this class on Tuesday, August 24th at 7 pm in Burlington. Cost is $25 and will include the blocks. You supply the photos (you'll receive specific info when you register). Contact me to register or for more information!

Stampin' Up! sells these MDF blocks that make a fun home decor item. I made one of the sides into word art, using my Big Shot Bigz alphabet dies – Serif Essentials. I stamped images randomly onto cardstock, cut that into 3" x 3" squares and then used Real Red cardstock to create the letters. The other sides feature photos – some I used 3" x 3" sized photos, and I used some 6" x 6" photos that I cut into 3" x 3" squares to make a puzzle.
To adhere the cardstock or photos, you could use Tombow Adhesive or a decoupage kind of glue.
I'm planning on offering a class featuring the blocks in the near future – email me if you want to be sure to hear about it!

Here's another gift card holder – featuring Soft Suede Cardstock & dotted ribbon. Silver Hodgepodge hardware adds the finishing touches. Sentiment is from Sincere Salutations. The designer series paper is actually Holiday Lounge, but I like that it can be used in other situations and not scream "Christmas". This would be a great end of year present for a teacher… and in our case, it was, for my son's drum teacher!
In the meantime, I'm getting ready for the Information Night on Monday, June 14th at 7pm – still room if you'd like to join us and chat about the Stampin' Up! business…the mini starter kit is an economical way to kick it off! Please RSVP if you're able to make it.

I personally love giving (and receiving!) gift cards. It allows the recipient the freedom to choose something they really want/need, and if you choose the store and make an effort with the presentation it can make a perfect choice.
I designed this easy gift card holder for the home reno/tool person that you might be buying for. Real Red cardstock creates the toolbox, Basic Blac cardstock creates the handle and two wide clips from the Clips Assortment (p179 current Canadian Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalogue) create the latches. No adhesive required – just slide them on the edge of the cardstock! (I have to admit I squealed when it worked out).
The insert is created with the Totally Tool stamp set, stamped in Basic Black and Sahara Sand. The gift card could be attached to the insert or just slid in front of it in the pocket.
Contact me if you need supplies to create your own Tool Time Gift Card Holder, or place your order online here!
