| Tab pulled out to show pop up |
Sorry that I'm behind on posting projects on the blog. We spent a few days at Pensacola Beach and well, I'm just now getting back into my groove.
Our Do Me A Favor workshop is just around the corner....Saturday, March 16. The workshop is filling up, so if you have not sent me an e-mail please let me know that you will be attending. We will begin at 12 noon and all projects should be finished no later than 4 p.m. (maybe sooner). Projects are being shown on this post.
Here are two pop up cards....one for Easter and one with a spring/garden theme. But, you can use the same pop up pattern and technique to make a birthday card, get well, or even a cute baby card. These are very versatile patterns that can be adapted to so many occasions.

One of the projects is what I call a bag topper. This topper can be adapted to fit different sized gift bags and you can change the color and theme according to your gift giving needs. I recently made up 17 of the Easter bags for our UMW circle to give to shut-ins and those who we keep on our prayer list and I feel this little topper is just right to share with you in the workshop. I'm also posting a photo of a larger topper for a baby boy's gift. And, you can make the toppers up ahead of time and have them ready to slip down over the bag handles when you need a quick bag. The Easter bags are filled with assorted Easter candies.
In this post I'm showing what I call "the perfect little box". It is entirely handmade and embellished to fit whatever the season or occasion when you need that special little box, or trinket box, to hold anything from pre-made wrapped chocolates and candies, to jewelry pieces, or even something as simple as an emergency sewing kit. And, the box is a gift in itself. It's just perfect for giving those special small-ish items such as baby booties and/or small family heirlooms or keepsakes. And how cute to make this trinket box for mother's day (or daughter's day) and give a special little keepsake/heirloom.

As always, have a beautiful day!
