Directions for Christmas Gift Card Holder

I’ve had requests for the directions so I wrote them out quickly and took a photo.  I haven’t graduated to fancy tutorials yet!  Here goes…just email me if it’s all as clear as mud.  🙂

Cute Christmas Gift Card Holder

I decided to make some Gift Card Holders for my next craft fair on Dec. 5th.  These are so cute and easy to make!

Remove the belly band and check out the inside…

 

It measures 3″ x 4 1/4″ so I just pulled out my Envelope Punch Board and made the perfect envelope for it.

I’m sure I’ll be using this design for all occasions!  Let me know if you need directions 🙂

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!

Kristi’s Baby Sprinkle

I’d like to share some photos with you of my daughter Kristi’s Baby Sprinkle.  Her dear friend (an event planner) hosted this absolutely fantastic event for Kristi at my home.  My upline, Peggy Noe, made the spirals for the Stampin’ Up banner I made with my new grandaughters name.  Check out the theme of Mason jars – for drinks, fruit and pink lemonade.  As one guest stated…”it’s like Pinterest on steroids”!  Enjoy!

Candy Nuggets Box

This is a little box I am going to sell at a craft fair.  It holds 7 chocolate Nuggets and they are so much fun to make.  We made them at my class on Wednesday.  Thanks to Connie Stewart for the idea.

 

 

To make the box:

One sheet of 8 1/2″ x 11″ will make 2 boxes.  Using 5 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of cardstock,  on long side score at 3/4″ on both ends.  On the short side score at 3/4″ & 2 1/4″ on both ends.  Snip on score lines on the short side and using sticky strip or Tombo Liquid Glue form into box.  Tip:  for easier opening, punch 1/3 of a 1″ circle punch on front of top.  See photo.  Decorate as you wish.  You can see that I used some DSP and the Gift Bow Bigz L Die (129977) to decorate one of mine.  Super easy, no fail and fun!

Doily Wreath Christmas Card

My friend, Joanne, and I have been getting together for 4 or 5 years to make our Christmas cards.  We have designed two different cards for this year.  Here is a look at our first card.

Tomorrow I’ll share our second design.  We’re getting into the spirit for sure.

Holly Jolly Sweet Treat

I’m working on making items to sell at a Craft Fair on Sunday (Nov. 17) and here’s one of my goodies.

I used the Tags 4 You Stamp set (131823) with a strip of Washi Tape on Whisper White.  Filled with yummy peppermint butter melts!

Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kit

Look what you can do with one simple little kit!  I promised my class that we would do more than the catalog sample and here’s what I came up with.  The gals loved the choices and had fun adding their own touches to these designs.

By the way…my upline, Mary Fish, will have these on her Stampin’ Pretty FB page and is also going to Pin them.  🙂

Two Tone Floral

Sorry it has taken me so long to post a new card but our internet and phone went down and believe me…that caused chaos!  Back to normal and I’m ready to share again.  🙂

This is one of the cards we did in my last class.  The gals loved it.  It is quick and easy!
