Inspiration Friday - Simple Stories Pencil Toppers

Happy Friday everyone! I have a SIMPLE and fun project that is very versatile using the Simple Stories NEW flash card sheets and cardstock stickers!



For this quick project you will need:
Simple Stories: Flash Cards- Life Documented (SKU- SS1109)
Simple Stories: Expressions Cardstock Stickers- Life Documented (SKU- SS1103)
Simple Stories: Fundamental Cardstock Stickers- Life Documented (SKU- SS1102)
Glue Dots - Pop Up (SKU- JV008)
Flowers
Ribbon
Buttons and Thread
Pencils
Paper Trimmer

Using your trimmer, cut a slit about 3/4 of inch long in the center of the top and bottom of each card.



Embellish cards with buttons, flowers, and thread. Adhere with GLue Dots. Add cardstock stickers as desired.



Insert pencils and use a variety of ways:

Customer Make n Take
Easter basket goodies
End of school year student and teacher gifts
Instead of using pencils, use a popsicle stick and laminate the card and use as a plant marker.








This is a quick, fun and easy project! What are you being creative this weekend?
