Ok…now on to my project! We were asked to come up with a sweet
project that you would GIVE to a friend. My crafty sis, Rachel, told me of this fun and simple card idea…I had so much fun making it...so now I want to pass the idea along to you! Being a working Mom, I love the words “fun” and “simple!” Here are the supplies I used...
The first step to this card is to get a photo with the person in the photo holding their hand up (like my daughter is…Isn’t she cute? LOL)
The steps to making the card are so easy…At the top and bottom of the person's hand you need to put a small hole or slice where the lollipop would go. Two tips: 1) Use a flat lollipop rather than a Tootsie Pop or Dum Dum. It will just sit better. Also, be sure to put adhesive on the edges of the photo BEFORE you put the lollipop in! Trust me…
Voila!!!
If you can't tell, the picture makes it look like she is holding the lollipop. You can embellish them anyway you like. My daughter picked the colors and stuck on the hearts…You can use this card for any event, like a birthday or St. Patty’s Day..anything! I made 20 of these in one night!

Here is another card I made for my Auntie Pauline, who lives in Hawaii
I punched a circle in the lower right corner of the card to reveal some earrings I made for her…
Speaking of earrings…How would you like to win these uber-adorable golden heart earrings from Tamara at Nesting Pretty?!!!
