3/8 Very Vanilla Velvet Stitched Ribbon

Gently Falling into the Holidays

December 1, 2011 · 3 Comments

Welcome December! Just a quick post today –

This was a card made at my…..oooppps, October class? Wow, I guess it was. I featured this stamp set, Gently Falling. I felt this particular image had a Christmas feel to it. Sometimes you just have to think outside the designated stamp set theme!

Happy Stampin’

12 Weeks of Gift Card Ideas ’til Christmas

November 27, 2011 · 2 Comments

Week 4.

Mmmmm. 4 weeks ’til Christmas. I have spent this long weekend enjoying what it is. Thanksgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for.

I have not hit any Christmas sales, doorbusters, or done any on-line shopping. My tree is not up. My decorations are still in the attic.

But, I have created my next item, a money or check holder, for you to enjoy.

Take a look –

Now, remove the belly band –

See the inside –

Very elegant.

You can laugh. It’s ok.

I could only find a dollar to place on the inside to show how it holds a bill. Those are both little pockets to act as holders that I wrapped around the Very Vanilla strip in the center. It is a basic gate fold card. It married the Santa Suit nicely. Here it is with out the money. You can see the little pockets –

Week 9.

In coming up with my ideas, I have limited myself to creations that are flat and mailable – within reason.

So, take a look at this folded beauty –

And, a little side shot –

It’s kind of thick. What’s going on here? Just wait ’til we open it –

Surprise! I see a card in there. What is this?

It’s a BOX! Yep, this is a folded box that holds a 3×3 card as well as a gift card!

Pretty cool, huh?

Shots of the belly band and 3×3 to give you a full picture of this beauty –

I just LOVE it, can you tell? And, one last group shot –

You can see the gift card in this picture. Nice how it all folds together to a finished size of 4 x 4.
