Birthday card ideas

I love to make cards, so I have decided to post card ideas every so often. So, here is the first
My grandma and sister had birthdays coming up so here is the card I did for them.

I used my silhouettte for most of it. It makes it super easy. I cut the actual card and candles with my silhouette, and then just layered different paper, with the candles on top. Then I used brown vinyl to cut out the "Happy Birthday", just because I didn't want to bother with pasting each letter on. Yes, I am lazy! Then I added some ribbon, and that is it!

St. Patrick's Rag Wreath

If you want to make a cute, easy and inexpensive St. Patrick's day wreath, then you will have to try this one.

Just take a styrofoam wreath, I actually ended up using a wire hanger shaped into a circle and I wrapped some batting around it. I wanted mine a little bit bigger. And I picked out 2 kinds of fabric.

I took my solid green flannel and cut it into strips.

Then tie it around your wreath.

Then I drew a shamrock on some card board and cut out 4 of them

On 2 of them I covered them with white felt and added some buttons

And on the other 2 I covered them with some green shamrock fabric.

I went to Joann's this morning and I found this cute shamrock thing (I have know idea what to call it). All there St. Patrick's day stuff was 50% off and stacked with my 10% off coupon, it was a great deal! I thought it would be cute in the middle of my wreath.

I also found these cute little glittery hats to add to my wreath! I hot glued everything on.

I love the way it turned out!!
And it hardly cost anything!

Just a reminder to go vote for me!

vote!!

Easiest cake stand ever!!!

This is the easiest thing you will EVER do!

I have wanted a cake stand for a long time now, so I decided to put one together myself!

So I took a trip to the DI and bought a candle stick holder, and a big clear plate.
I think I spent a total of $1.50!!
So I took my candle stick holder and hot glued it to the bottom of my plate.

And there you have it....the easiest cake stand ever!!!
