Sympathy Card and Image folders

Add Image
I have several creations to share today. My husband kept forgetting to get a Sympathy card for today so I told him that I will make one for him and when he gets up it'll be ready on the kitchen table to take with him. I told him I will make a fast and simple card. He was okay with it and was surprised when he saw it in the morning. I added the butterflies to it at last minute because I thought it was missing something on it. It turned out pretty good I think. What drove me crazy was this crazy MS butterfly punch that I got and does not work the way it supposed to. Too bad I threw the packaging away for it and not sure if I have the receipt but it does not punch all the way. I have to use my scissors to cut it off. I still like it anyway.

This next photo is a 3 x 3 post it note holder. I made it for my partner at work that we did the card exchange for. I must have been tired but I tried several times to cut the card stock to make this but kept cutting it wrong. On top of that I scored it wrong several times too. I saw several different versions and dimensions for it but none of them came out the way it should. I decided to just measure it out myself and it finally fit.
I was thinking of baking cupcakes for today since this was our first card exchange but I got home last night and decided to make these image folders instead. I know I'm crazy but sometimes I get carried away when I'm in the crafting mood. Sorry my post is a long one but wanted to include everything. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Love all of your creations. As for the MS butterfly punch, I also have to use my scissors. If I'm not mistaken, it's made like that....don't know why though. TFS
