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!!

Happy Birthday, Deb!

I fell in love with this card that was originally created by Connie Babbert 

I knew exactly who I had to make it for..... my sister-in-law Deb. I actually made two; the other one has Happy Birthday on it but I didn't take a picture of it...go figure!

The supplies used are:

Paper: Pink Pirouette cards stock and DSP from the subtles paper stack, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Stamp Set: Afterthoughts Hostess set

Accessories: Big Shot, Two Tags Bigz die, 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Wide Oval, Scallop Circle punches, Retired Brad, Basic Jewels Rhinestones

It's a beautiful card and I want to experiment with different colors but these are so yummy! I had to case this.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Thanks so Much!

 This is a tag I made to go on a hostess/thank you gift for my sister-in-law, Lorraine. She had us all (12) for Christmas dinner on Boxing Day; this is when my husband's family has always celebrated the holiday leaving Christmas day for family things etc.

Lorraine dubbed herself "Rainedeer" along time ago so this tag seemed to fit the bill. It's made with punches entirely except for the tag itself which is from the Sizzix Bigz Two Tags die. I cased the basic figure from Kelly Mayou's blog:

The supplies are all SU:

Stamp set: Tiny Tags

Paper: Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Very Vanilla

Ink: Whisper White

Accessories: Wide and small Oval, 1 3/8", 1/2" and 1" Circle, Word Window Punches, Two Tags Bigz die, Swirl Scribbles embosslet, 1/8" Early Espresso Taffeta ribbon, white gel pen

This is what the gift was; a set of 12 dessert/appetizer plates with a Reindeer on them...... fitting I thought.

I hope you all had a safe Happy New Year!

Thank you for all your support in the past and I hope you will  keep stopping by in the future.
