Gift Card Holders

 I made several gift card holders. This one is using Cherry Cobbler (119685) and Lucky Limeade (122926) cardstocks, the Letters to Santa DSP (122349),  Scallop Oval (119859) and Large Oval (119855) , Large (11987)  and Extra Large(119866) Tag and the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border (119275) punches. The stamp is from Dear Santa (123832/123834) set in the Holiday Mini. I used Lucky Limeade (119801) and Cherry Cobbler (119681) Stampin'Write markers to ink the stamp.

 The tag was tied onto the package with some Linen Thread(10199)

 Here, I used Real Red (102482) cardstock as a base and the Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty DSP (124004)
I punched a ribbon with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch (119275) and added a Real Red 5/8 " Satin ribbon (117286) bow.

 The tag is actually from the Two Tags Bigz Die (115954) with some Real Red (102482) cardstock I used  Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty DSP (124004) and punched a Scallop Circle (119854). A Very Vanilla (101650) layer was created with the 3/16" Corner Rounder (119871) punch

I attached a gift card/ticket holder to the front of this package; it was created by folding a piece of Real Red (102482) cardstock with 3 scores, creating a flap at the top. I used the Letters to Santa DSP (122349) to decorate the base and to create the Rosette. I used my Simply Scored scoring tool (122334) to score two 12 x 2 inch strips of  Cherry Cobbler and two 12 x1 3/4" strips DSP every 1/8th inch. I used a 2 3/8" scallop Circle punch(118874) to glue the center down and put some of the Dazzling Details (124117) all over this scallop circle. I topped this with a Doily Triple Layer punch (122465) from Silver (120005) glimmer paper and a Whisper White Snowflake punch (119852) and a Silver Brad (104336). I used the other Real Red (102482) tag from the Two Tags Bigz Die (115954) and attached some Doily Triple Layer (122465) punches in both Red (121790) and Silver (120005) glimmer papers with a Silver Glimmer Brad from the Basics collection(121003).
This one was so pretty when I got done with it!

One word of caution though....... you have to remember to indicate somewhere or somehow that the recipient needs to open the giftcard/ticket holder on the package. It was almost 3 days later that my Aunt realized that there was something in the embellishment on the front of the package.

I think I am at the end of my gift wrapping etc from Christmas. I hope you haven't been too bored with them. I had fun with it all and did not buy one bit of wrapping paper this year.

Thanks for your patience!!

Extra Large!!

I used Letters to Santa DSP (122349) to make this extra large package decoration for this packing paper wrapped parcel. Before wrapping the parcel though I stamped it with Jumbo wheels. The first one being Jolly Jingles (120864) in Garden Green (102272) Ink and the other is Sassy Sparkles (116541) in Soft Suede (115657) ink.  I punched a strip of Garden Green(102584) card stock with the Lace Ribbon Border punch(122362) and placed it at the top to hang the decoration from. A strip of Crumb Cake(120953) cardstock cut into a banner shape creates the tag. The DSP was cut into 2 inch squares (12); they were each rolled into a cone shape and attached with Tombo Multi Liquid Glue (110755)to a scallop circle punch (119854) both front and back in Garden Green (102584) cardstock. I punched out a Doily from the Doily Triple Layer Punch(122465) in Red Glimmer (121790) paper  and attached it with a Silver Glimmer brad from the Basics Collection(121003). I punched a 1/8" hole in one of the cones with my Crop-a-dile (108362) and attached a small piece of red metallic elastic cording from my stash. This measured about 4 -4.5 inches across so it was a quite large.

Inch box Advent Calendars

 This cute little calendar was designed by Brenda Quintana and it really struck my fancy. It is created using DSP from the Letters to Santa pkg and the 25 and Counting stamp set that is in the current Mini.  Accessories are silver brads, Cherry Cobbler Quilted Ribbon and the 1" Square, Decorative label and the petal Card punches. Th box measures approx 5 5/8" square and the entire project is about 11 inches tall.

 Here is a side view of the box with one of the "drawers" opened. The drawers will hold small treats such as 1-2 Hershey's Kisses, candy. I have created 2 of this style for our grand daughter and nephew. In each drawer is a small candy and a joke for each day leading up to Christmas.

A close up of the front shows the ink colors used; Pool Parth, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Early Espresso.

I created a grown up version of the box for my mother and mother-in-law using the Christmas Lodge stamp set. The images are stamped in Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler and are embellished with the Dazzling Details to give some bling and sparkle to the snow.

Christmas Ornaments Class 1

I came across the video of this ornament and had a great time creating it so I thought it would be fun to have a class making Christmas tree ornaments from paper and SU supplies.This one can be a package topper and then hang on the tree it can then be folded up to be put away for storage, to be used again next year.

Stamp Sets: Serene Snowflakes, Holiday Happiness
  Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler

Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, 1/2" circle punch, 1/8" Red Taffeta ribbon, Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

 I loved this but it was time consuming and I wanted to make several different ornaments in the class so....... I decided to try using DSP rather than stamping so much.

 This one was made using the Mocha Morning Specialty DSP, Basic Black card stock and 1/8th " Black taffeta ribbon, the stamp sets for the front and back are Serene Snowflakes and Bells and Boughs, Versamark Ink and white embossing powder

 This one uses the same supplies but the paper is folded the opposite way/

 The plaid one here is using the Frostwood Lodge DSP and Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and Ribbon

The Green and Pink paper is from Letters to Santa DSP and I used Lucky Limeade Cardstock and Ribbon

This is the same DSP folded the other way. These took only a few minutes to create and they were one of 7 ornaments that we created in the ornament class.

Come back in the next few days to see more of this class.

Thanks for stopping by!
