Spring Fling Instagram Hop Celebrating National Craft Month!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to our Instagram hop!  One lucky winner will receive a $50 Scrapbookcom gift card!  Instructions are on every stop over at Instagram.  (Winner winner chicken dinner...the gift card winner is Dayna Jackson @instagranny.ogb !!!)

(My address is @darbycreekdiaries)

I "cheated" by buying the Doodlebug critters on the ends, but just cut up an area from the patterned paper and popped up to make the center decoration!

I made fun little Easter treat bags using the Waffle Flower bag die (supplies linked below.)
I have also included below a previous fun tutorial link to how to "shape shift" those dies to make bags of lots of different sizes!  I will link to the blog post that has the free templates to make these bags easy peasy!

Here is the link I promised... the link to the "Shape-Shifting Treat Bags" tutorial--(please consider subscribing so you don't miss new stuff!)

Here's the blog post link with templates

I purchase my supplies and my opinions are my own--here are the supply links (afil):

(The Easter paper is discontinued, but here is a cute, very similar option!)

Enjoy the hop and good luck!!

(Winner Winner chicken dinner!!!  Our winner is Trisha Podmore from Ohio, USA!  Congratulations!  It's on it's way to you now!!!)

Hello Friends!

I'm excited to participate in this hop and am giving away my project--a shaker card with a "hidden" Starbucks gift card!  Entry details are on my YouTube tutorial video.  The hop stops are listed near the bottom of the post.  All the stops are having giveaways!

Here is my project:  (Supplies are linked (afil) at the bottom of this post:)

...and the "hidden" gift card is actually made with a "zipper" die by Mama Elephant:

Here is the step-by-step YouTube tutorial:

Here's the basic "sandwich":  This deviates from tutorial a bit:) It's what it "should have been."  Tips for aligning are in video!

Layers 1-3, 6 & 9 used scalloped rectangle dies-

#1 (Top):  Patterned paper, egg diecut in center

#2:  Clear acetate sheet

#3:  Fun foam with adhesive on both sides, egg diecut in center

#4:  White side-fold card base with egg diecut in center

#5:  Shaker goodies (use powder bag for static)

#6:  Decorated, stamped back of window (the pink sheet)

#7: Back of card 

#8: Gift Card

#9:  Zipper diecut panel

To put together the back simply diecut the zipper where you want to put your gift card.  Adhere area around (but not touching zipper or gift card) to the back of the card base for easy removal by recipient.  Enjoy!
