Remember the soldering project I shared last week? This is what I made for it, an accordion folded card. I also made some butterflies out of rainbow parchment paper and added them to it. The sentiment is removable and also replaceable for a specific event, whether it be for a birthday, sympathy, or a simple thank you.

Last week I also shared Lettering Delight’s Sew Stitchy Cut It Bundle and wanted to show you how simple it was to make easy fall tags.  Keep in mind it is currently on sale for $20, eight Cut It sets (120 cutting files) for $20!  I used Stuffing Stitchy for the leaves and Forget Me Nots for the tag.

I’ve had the Simply Swank soldering kit for about a year and decided it was time to give it a try. It was surprisingly easy, although getting the jump ring on there was a bit of a challenge for me. I think it would have been easier to have a Third Hand or something like that to help, but it obviously wasn’t impossible to accomplish. I used a Penny Black stamp I had in my stash and trimmed it down to fit the 1 1/2″ square glass. I added some ribbon to the jump ring and thought it would make a great tag or if I add a longer ribbon, a bookmark.

On to Friday’s Freebie…

Ghost Poop! A fun way to welcome the chilly weather, this would be perfect to give with a packet of hot chocolate. Check out Lettering Delights for more ideas and fun!

Lettering Delights has also released their Sew Stitchy Cut It Bundle at a special price of $20 (normally $40). These are perfect for Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, boys and girls.

Pergamano is something I’ve always wanted to try and decided I needed to do it. You can use stamps or patterns to create gorgeous handmade cards and projects. This was my 2nd attempt at it and though it’s far from perfect, it was fascinating to watch it unfold. It is also rather time consuming and requires a good amount of patience.

For this card, I added seam binding, a rose (made with a McGill paper punch), some parchment/card stock butterflies (Stampin Up Embosslits Beautiful Wings) and a stick pin with pearls and crystals to complete it. Thanks for stopping by!
