Whatever Wednesday

Happy Wednesday Everyone!! Today is Whatever Wednesday over on My Creative Time blog. I created this St. Patrick's Day treat holder and will make a lot more to give to friends & co-workers this month. I took the Embossed Gift Card Holder and thought it would be perfect to hold some yummy Andes chocolates and it does!! Love the new Hat die so absolutely had to incorporate it on this holder! The flourish clover stamp fit perfectly on the top of the holder ~ added the right touch.

Try Me Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! It's Try Me Tuesday over at My Creative Time. Today we are to "try" using Emma's dies in a way that is unexpected, that is not its intended use. I took a look at the Tag Dies and decided to turn one into a mini post-it note holder. For the pencil holder, I curled up one of the banner dies from the "build a banner kit" and attached it with a brad to the right side of the tag. I also placed a magnet on the back of this tag so it would be a cute little note pad on my fridge!! Hope this inspired you to use Emma's goodies in different ways!!

Product List:

Paper & Sticker: Doodlebug ~ Take Note

My Creative Time Products: Tag Dies

Build a Banner Kit

Teeny Tag Greetings

Stitched Button Dies

Twine, Ribbon and Sprinkles
