Painted Christmas Gift Card Holder

I created one card that is a bit more masculine and one that would fit just about anyone. Of course, money is a welcome gift and fits all sizes. Here is the inside of the gift card holder.

stamptastic friends blog hop

This month our goal is to share quick projects. I adore quick & easy projects! 

I made sweet Gnome gift tags to adorn your Christmas gifts. I made others with snowflakes added.

Heartwarming Hugs

 You can watch a video of how I created these tags by clicking HERE.

The gnome beard is created with White Velvet paper die cut with a leaf die from In the Tropics dies. His hat punched from the Pine Tree Punch. The base of the tag is a Tailor-Made tag die cut.

I also made a slimline card using the same gnomes. Guess what? We will get slimline dies and envelopes in the January to June Mini Catalog!

I can’t wait to see what the others have in store for us. Click on to Heather for more inspiration.

Stampin’ Up! Time of Giving Christmas Card-Santa is Coming!

I have a beautiful blue card to share today. For this card I used the Time of Giving Bundle and paired it with Beauty of the Earth Designer Series paper. The blue background full of trees looks like the Smokey Mountains.

Time of Giving

I stared with a Basic White card base and layered Night of Navy. I cut a piece of Basic White at 5 ¼” x 4”, stamped the sentiment with Night of Navy and embossed it with the Evergreen Forest Embossing folder. This piece is adhered directly to the card front.

To create the tag element, I used Night of Navy cardstock. The tag was die cut first using Tailor Made Tags then the Santa tag was cut from the first tag. I also cut a Tailor-Made tag of Beauty of the Earth DSP. Layer the two tags so the trees are peeking behind Santa.

Thread ribbon through the tag hole and tie off with a bit of white Baker’s Twine.

Adhere a snowflake in the left-hand corner and adhere tag using dimensionals.

Time of Giving

Sprinkle rhinestones, stamp the inside sentiment and your card is complete.

Simple yet pretty. I hope you like it!

Stamptastic Friends Explore Nature – Peaceful Deer Birthday Card and Tutorial

Stamptastic Friends are exploring nature this month. That makes me happy as I enjoy making cards that focus on natural elements. Nature cards are also a good fit good for masculine cards.

For this masculine card I used Peaceful Deer, which is a Christmas set. Isn’t it great our stamps can be purposed for many unique occasions?

I pulled out the tree and bird stamps from this set and created this simple, simple card.

Then I added the tiny bunny. The cork paper, a bit of linen thread and metallic dots all add a touch of texture.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Season Made Easy

You can make four beautiful cards in minutes, and I can’t wait to show you how.

It is no secret that I love simple stamping. Stamping is what I fell in love with and while I enjoy using dies and Designer Series Paper, I always feel like I have returned home when I am stamping. Paper and ink and pretty images!

I saw a card on Pinterest by Akiko Sudano that sparked my interest. I decided to step it up by making 4 at one time.

Here is my card:

Christmas Season

 

Here is how I stamped all 4 at the same time. In a jiffy.

I stated with an 11” x 8 ½” piece of Basic White. I lightly penciled lines at 4 ¼” and 5 ½”. I also penciled off angles as shown. This was to remind me to save space for my sentiment.

Then I started building my design. I kept adding layers and images until I was happy with the way it looked.

Next, I put the paper in my trimmer and cut it at 5 ½” and 4 ¼”. Now it was time to trim the 4 cards to 5 ¼” x 4” and stamp the sentiment. You can also go back and add any foliage or leaves that need touching up. I brushed Wink of Stella on the red berries for sparkle.

Mount the card front on Real Red cardstock and adhere to the card. Stamp the inside. All four cards done in less than 20 minutes.
