Crafter's Delight: Glitter Gift Wrap and Card

-


It's time for another edition of Crafter's Delight! A few weeks ago, I had a special gift to share and wanted to create a special gift wrapping presentation for it. This was super simple but high impact, and I just loved the way it turned out! Here's how I did it:




From top to bottom: I started by wrapping the gift in yellow-green wrapping paper. I used a circle cutter and bronze glitter paper to cut out 1", 1.5", and 2" circles and used spray mount adhesive to secure the circles to the box. Then I took a burnished bronze ribbon and tied a massive bow with long tails. I wanted the gift to look decorated but not overly so, and I think this did the trick.




For the card, I found this wonderful yellow-green and brown craft paper and secured it to brown card stock to create a sturdy card, using a bone folder to create a crisp edge. I then took my remaining bronze glitter dots and secured them to the outside of the card. A simple message on the outside finished the look.

Moleskine Weekly Planner Review: Pocket vs. Large

Planners are a fantastic way to stay organized - whether it's electronic or paper, they keep you on track by making sure you've got a good list of everything you need to do and that you've budgeted the time to accomplish your goals. I've bounced between electronic and paper planning over the years but I have to confess: I'm a paper girl at heart. There's just something about being able to write down my tasks that helps me remember everything I need to get done and when. It's the one area of my life where I just can't make the electronic switch. There's a whole community of people who swear by paper planners who are members of the planning community. I've caught myself going down the YouTube wormhole and watching countless videos that review various planners and share how each planner sets up their weekly calendar or bullet journal. Those videos helped me figure out that paper was my best option and which planner would best fit my needs. ...

How To Fix and Prevent "Glasses Marks"

I normally wear contact lenses, but every now and then I like to switch it up and wear my glasses. But have you ever noticed that glasses tend to rub the foundation off the sides and bridge of your nose? Glasses marks can get even the best of us and it's one of my makeup pet peeves. But thankfully, there are ways to keep your glasses from ruining your makeup. Consider the Fit and Shape of Your Glasses Heavier or larger frames will invariably rest on more of your face and stand a good chance of disturbing the makeup underneath. Loose-fitting glasses can also cause your frames to slide around more than they should. Consider smaller, lighter frames that fit more snugly on your face to minimize the risk of your glasses rubbing off your makeup. Tip: Place, don't slide, your glasses onto your face - and lift your glasses off when it's time to remove them. Sliding your glasses on or off is a surefire way to effectively rub your foundation right off.  If you do...
