easy hoilday treat idea

For all of you who are putting together last minute treat plates for the neighbors.  Here is a quick and easy idea to make those boring  plates a little more festive.  All you need is a whole punch and some ribbon.

Start out by marking the edges of the plate so you know where to punch your holes.  You can use a hole punch but I used a Crop-A-Dile (which I LOVE) it will punch into anything… even a tin can!  Weave your ribbon in and out of the holes, and tie then in a bow.  Simple as that you have a cute treat plate.

easy gift idea

I make these little gift card sets all the time, for thank you gifts.  But these would also make great Christmas gifts for Teachers or Neighbors… so I thought I would post them again!    These are quick and easy, and the best part is you can make them for less than a dollar.

You will need:

  • 1 sheet colored card stock from the card holder
  • 2 sheets or white card stock cut in half  ( 8 1/2 x 5 1/2) to make 4 cards
  • scrapbook paper ( I just use scraps from other projects)
  • glue or adhesive
  • 22 inches or ribbon
  • paper cutter or pair of scissors

Take your colored sheet of card stock and fold it in half, to make a  ( 8 1/2 x 5 1/2) Then open it up and fold the bottom part up 2 inches. Then on the middle fold cut up to the 2 inch mark.  See photo above.  The flaps will fold in and become the pockets for the card to set in.  I only glue the outer edges shut and leave the middle edge open.

Flip the card stock over and add scrapbook paper to the front cover.

Take your 2 sheets of white card stock cut in half, fold them in half to make a  4 x 5 1/2 note card.  Decorate the fronts, I normally use the scraps from another project or scrapbook page,  You can make them as simple or detailed as you want.

Once you are done tuck the 4 cards and envelopes inside the pocket and tie shut with the ribbon.
