Christmas Gift Card Holder

My old retired Christmas Punch Stamp set helped to finish off these gift card holders.

Directions:

Cut card stock to 4 1/2" x 6 3/4"

(In landscape) Score @ 1 3/4" and 4 1/2"

(In portrait) Score @ 1/4" on both edges (this forms the flaps to glue together)

Front DSP size: 2" x 3 1/2"

I used a velcro dot to hold the card shut.

Sending Christmas Wishes

I am trying to be frugal and use the paper I have. Hence another post using last years SU Designer Series Paper. I figure that is OK as you get the idea and can substitute any paper and stamp to CASE (Copy and share everything) this card.

Remember to take time to enjoy the moments this holiday season. 

Simple Card- Holiday Wishes

Don't forget to take a look 

through your old stamps for those favorites.

I picked the stamp set called 

"Holiday Collection" 

and used it here.

The solid green along the 

top of the card is SU Gumball Green cardstock.

The DSP is a few scraps 

leftover from last years collection, set on an angle.

Choose any element in place of the snowflake.

This snowflake is punched out of 

glitter paper and raised with a SU Dimensional.

I used my paper piercing tool, 

mat and template to create the holes under the DSP. 

Set of 4 with stamped envelopes.

Up close view of piercing line.

One Sheet Wonder Gift Bags (w/video tutorial)

Hey folks...been busy here, both at work and home. I wanted to share some pictures with you of my craftivities. Had a craft show a week ago and you can see on the top shelf some flower gift bags. Those bags created some interest especially for the holidays. Below (green and red bags) is a custom order I got done today. The blue and yellow version is a bag I created while filming a video tutorial. Thing is, after I filmed the video, it is off 1/4 of a turn...ugh! How did that happen? Appears as the video is still turned wrong here on my blog.

I'll add a link to follow to 

YouTube where it is playing correctly.

Watch the video below to see how to create this bag.

Holiday Gifts ~ Hand Sanitizer Holder

Here is one of the items that I have been making up for a Relay for Life craft show on November 2nd. 

It contains a Bath and Body Works 1 oz. hand sanitizer. 

You can get three of these out of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock. I have a link below to the video I used to create these, however I did alter the cardstock size to 2 3/4 x 11 (instead of 3 x 11 as stated in the video). All the scoring measurements remained the same.

Mini Treat Tote Box/Bag

Decided to make a welcome back gift for our religious education teachers. Tonight is our teacher meeting and I saw these easy boxes through another consultant. It doesn't require any special dies or other tools, just score and cut.

I used the video posted below to help me create these treats (credit: DoStamping with Dawn). 

This is a "paper saver" project. You can complete 2 boxes out of one sheet of 8 1/2"x 11". 

No wasted paper!!

I have used the DSP In-Color 2013-2015 paper pack for the boxes, item #130136 $21.95. 

It includes 40 sheets of double sided paper. For this project, double sided paper is important because you can really see the insides of the box.

*Baked Brown Sugar

*Coastal Cabana

*Crisp Cantaloupe

*Pistachio Pudding

*Strawberry Slush

The box easily fits four mini candy bars. 

This was a fun and fast box to make...here is the video:

Happy 1st Birthday Card

Found the sweetest owl punch art card at Happily Ever Stamper (link below). I was needing ideas for a little girls first birthday party today. Of course I had to add a few extra blingy items...my favorite being the owl's toenails. This card incorporates Stampin' Ups Top Note Die and several punches.

Fabulous Florets Notecard

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

 The card features one of the 2013-2015 In Colors...Pistachio Pudding. I paired it with Daffodil Delight for a simple card. If you don't have the Fabulous Florets stamp set, look to see if you have a solid flower that can be cut out. Any leaf pattern stamp will do to recreate this card. 

Add just an extra little touch by stamping the envelope.

Flower is raised using Stampin Dimensionals

2013-2015 Designer Series Paper In Colors Include:
Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, and Strawberry Slush
DSP Paper: Product #130136

Fabulous Florets Stamp #128574
