Kitty Cat Note Cards and Treat Bag

Here's an idea for a super quick note card. Using the cat image from LD's Witch One and Make-the-Cut, I traced, broke, and cut this:

The cat is set at a width of 5.25" and a height of 5.2642". The note card base measures 6.5" x 3.25" when unfolded. Just cut and glue the pieces to get this quick note card:

 I made a couple to put in my kids' lunch boxes but then I decided I would make a treat bag to store the cards in:

Isn't the bag cute? I was really delighted at how it turned out. To make it, I adjusted the cat image so that it measures at a W=8" and H= 8.0208". I cut off the top of a standard lunch bag so that it is about 5" tall before I adhered the cat face to one side with my ATG tape gun. For the back, I used MTC to cut and delete the cat's mouth and I cut off the whiskers with MTC's Boolean Join before sticking it to the bag. Of course the whiskers could also have been cut off with a pair of scissors but I really just wanted to play with MTC. :-P  My ATG tape is pretty strong and after playing with it, I'm confident that the bag will hold up if I do not put too many heavy candies into it.

My kids squealed when they saw the bag and are asking that I make them for their class for Halloween. These are so easy to put together, I think I might do just that. :-)

You're Simply the Best!

There's nothing wrong with simple. In fact, I think that sometimes simple sends the message across the loudest. Perhaps that's why I love this card so much. 

Turning scraps into cards

One of my favorite ways of using scraps is to make these 10-min cards. They are super easy to make and always make me feel good whenever I'm in a creative rut. 

All you need are 2 punches: a scallop and a smaller circle, a strip of leftover ribbon, a sentiment stamp, and a card for the base and you're all set. If you feel a little creative, go ahead and do some embossing too.
