I got a lot of cleaning done today! So then I thought, since I did so much in my house, I could then make a little something. I have made lots of sets of these little Thank You notes in Ruby Red, but I thought I would make more in other colors. So, 1 I did 1 set with Pumpkin Pie, being fallish and all. I did the other set in Kiwi Kiss...I will be so sad when all my supplies for the In Colors from last year are out!
These are made to include in your orders, if you sell online. Lots of Etsy sellers use them.
To make them, you need cardstock, stamps and the Stampin Up eyelet punch. Card is cut 2x3 3/4, scored at 2. Small but mean so much!

Lunchbox Notes


My oldest son just started Kindergarten. On the first day of school, I put a little note in his lunchbox to say "I Love You". When he got home from school, I asked him how he liked the note. Know what he said? He said, "Mom, I couldn't eat it! It is paper!" Made me laugh, hope it did you too!
Despite this little bit of humor, I know he loves getting a little reminder of home while he is away. I have sold lots of these lunchbox note sets on my etsy site at http://ajoyfullife.etsy.com
I make them in sets of pink or blue. You can also make your own if you have the supplies. I use Stampin Up, of course being a Demo.
Stamp your images on Whisper White cardstock. Punch out with 1 1/4" circle punch. Punch out a piece of patterned paper with the 1 3/8" circle punch. Punch out a scalloped circle using the scalloped circle punch. Glue pieces together. Use a white gel pen to do the white dots in the scallops. That is it! So easy and brings so many smiles. Have fun!
