Shapes Midway Reminder

Hi Everyone!

It's time for our Midway reminder at Simply Create Too. There is still one week left to join in the fun! Our theme is "Shapes".

I kinda went crazy and made a boat load of these cute little card holders...lol  I started out making the hot pink zebra print one for my friend's soon to be here baby girl.  It will make a nice holder for all her baby shower cards etc. 

After making it, I thought hey..I need some too!  They will be great to hold all my cards until they are given to the recipients.

They were really easy and fun to make.  Here is a link to a great tutorial on You Tube.  I guess they are called Mini Mag Card Holders. 

Each was made with one single piece of 12 x 12 paper, my scallop punch to make the flowers and my Scor pal. 

 I will be entering these into the following challenges:

• Bearly Mine Anything Goes
• Craft Room Anything Goes
• Cooking it up With Katie Anything Goes
• Delicious Doodles Anything Goes
• My Mums Craft Shop Anything Goes
• Secret Crafter Anything Goes
• Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes
• Top Tip Tuesday Anything Goes

Hope to see you all join in the fun at Simply Create Too!
