Card holder made from a Pringles can

Another Pinterest inspired creation. If you saw this previous post, I like creating Christmas card holders.  

I saw this card holder on Pinterest and wanted to try it out.   
I announced on Facebook that "I needed a Pringles can STAT!" and as any true BFF would do, Cynthia obliged me with one for me to use.  What a great BFF!!!
This is my attempt at the card holder.
Here is the card holder from the top.
I also used the Gift Bow Bigz L Die for the top instead of Christmas Holly.
My friend Dolly requested a red one for her cards.  Here it is:
Unfortunately, nowadays a lot of people send photo cards, so she was having difficulties putting those in the card holder.
This is what I found on Pinterest as a solution to display her Holiday photo cards.

This card holder will also be good as a centerpiece for a graduation.  I put a graduation cap on top and all the cards can be displayed at a graduation party.


The card holder can be specific to school colors.

I have more cans, so what other colors should I make?

Valentine glow sticks

Inspired by Pinterest once again!
I was asked by a friend to come up with some Valentine goodies for her son's class.  I immediately went to Pinterest and found a TON of ideas.  This is the one I decided to do. It is a Valentine with a glow stick.
This is a picture of the printable I found on Pinterest.  There are two versions, here is the blue one.
Here is the pink version. You just need to print out the Valentines, cut them out, and punch two holes at opposite ends to slip the glow stick through.  The top part is the connector that comes with the glow stick to let you make it into a bracelet if you want to.
I ended up making a total of 45 of them, 21 for her son and 24 for her nephew.  It was a little tricky, I accidentally activated a few glow sticks as I was making them, so I was extra careful after doing it a couple of times.  Here they all are UNACTIVATE and NOT glowing!!
