Pink Polka Dot Christmas

Think you’re seeing double? Well, you are. I have a double post of sorts today.

The first card shown is from my Christmas Card Class. It’s just so lovely, right?

It was made from the Season of Style DSP Stack, some retired Melon Mambo Ribbon, Christmas Messages stamp set, and the Chalk Talk Framelits. Easy peasy.  I always like to throw in an unexpected pop of color in these type of classes.

I had a kit or two leftover from the class. So. Waste not. Want not. Hence the gift card holder for my December Holiday Card Buffet was created! And, it was a popular choice.

The gift card holder could be Christmas or non-Christmas. I thought it was cool how it incorporated the Envelope Punch Board on a more narrow card creating the file folder style card. What do you think?

I once again used the retired Melon Mambo Ribbon, but this time added the Festive Flurry stamp set and coordinating framelits. The Vintage Designer faceted Buttons gave just enough of a ‘pop’ to this little gem. The Petite Pairs stamp set worked just perfectly for this smaller spaced greeting.

As you can see, when opened, the gift card holder uses the ‘W’ fold to form the slot to hold the gift card.

I love the challenge of recreating cards from extra supplies. In this case, it was nice to have the coordinating projects. Some like the matchy matchy Christmas stuff! Like me, of course!

Happy Stampin’
