Make it in Minutes Monday

Welcome to Make it in Minutes Monday. I thought it would be fun to feature quick and easy cards and projects that take only minutes to make, but look like you spent more time making them. I recently returned from a mini vacation, so I am a little behind on my projects. In the meantime, please enjoy this post.

I am in love with Anna’s giftable Cricut cartridge and wanted to share her recent tutorial with you.

The gift card fits perfectly into the holder pocket.



Love the video too. If you are looking for the sizing info for all of her giftables, click here.

I made this holder several weeks ago. I wish I would have used glitter paper for the handle like Anna did!

I love this gift holder!

Thanks for stopping by and have a marvelous Monday!

Welcome to Simply Organized Sunday…SOS for short. Every Sunday I showcase blogs, websites or posts that provide innovative approaches to organizing and designing your craft space as well as other areas in your home.

A special thanks to Craftaholics Anonymous for posting photos of Penelope’s amazing crafting nook.

This is a perfect sewing nook and the perfect size for a New York apartment.

I love how Penelope slides her machine and iron to the side when they are not in use.

This is my favorite part of her nook. The ironing board comes out of the top drawer. Amazing!

I hope you are having a simply organized Sunday!

Pizza Box Birthday Card

I have a friend that loves pizza so I thought I would make her a pizza card in a box. I think this card turned out great!

For this card, I used the Pizza Box file (#61145) that I purchased from the Silhouette on-line store.

I hand cut liners for the box and added a happy birthday flourish (# 49867) sentiment to the inside of the box. I cut two pizza background circles and glued them together to make the card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday.

Make it in Minutes Monday

Welcome to Make it in Minutes Monday. I thought it would be fun to feature quick and easy cards and projects that take only minutes to make, but look like you spent more time making them.

For this card, I used one of the Spring Folded Cards designed by Carina Gardner that I purchased from the Silhouette on-line store. It is a thank you card for a friend.

You could make this card using Cricut images or stamps! Any three insects will work. This card was so easy and fun!

Thanks for stopping by and have a marvelous Monday!

BBQ Grill Box Card

I am giving this card as a thank you to a friend that loves to grill. He recently gave us six different bottles of his homemade beer, so I wanted to make a special card.

For this card, I used the BBQ Grill Box Card (#136229) that I purchased from the Silhouette on-line store.

Since he loves beer, I thought the saying was appropriate. I left room on the bottom to sign my card. This card took a while to make but it was worth it!

Thanks for stopping by and have a marvelous week!

This file even comes with a sentiment that you can print and cut! I used paper from my stash and was done!
