Seasons of Style DSP Stack

A Gift for You

December 16, 2013 · 3 Comments

Happy Monday mornin’ to you –

Getting ready for those last-minute quick gifts? Need something to put those last-minute gifts into? Well, check out my share for today. It’s really quick and easy to ‘wrap’ up a gift card.

Can you guess what it is? Look closer. Yes, It’s a toilette paper tube recycled into a gift card holder! Clever, huh?

Easy too! I just used the Season of Style DSP Stack and wrapped these up, literally. The insert is the back sheet from DSP paper packs, card board like. Very nice and clean. Made these at my December Holiday Card Buffet and also for a Jingle Mingle I attended. These were great sellers.

With the simple addition of the tag and some Washi Tape – these are done in no time.

I added two Dimensionals to one side to adhere the gift card. Nifty.

Take a try at these and let me know what you think.

The Gift of Coffee

Giving the gift of coffee this year? Again? In the form of a gift card?

Well, if you are, the take a look at my share today. It was from my December Holiday Card Buffet. Nice, huh?

And, of course, it was made with the, currently on sale, Pop’n Cuts Die! I just love this die! I have used it almost as much as the Top Note!

I had stamped the lid and the band on scraps for everyone before the class. So they just stamped the whole cup again and cut out all those pieces. The oval is one of Stampin’ Up’s dies, the Oval Framelits and the DSP is the ever popular Season of Style.

It was a really quick card when it was said and, of course done. It was a favorite. Why? Because it’s too cute, or because coffee gift cards are ever so popular? You tell me.

Pink Polka Dot Christmas

December 11, 2013 · 2 Comments

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!

‘Oh What Fun’ Mini Album

‘Oh What Fun’ is this mini Christmas album. Isn’t it just adorable?

It’s recycled too – which makes it even better.

I am not providing many details just yet as this will be an upcoming specialty class. All I can say is that it’s precious! It’s the perfect addition to any Christmas crafting memories!

It uses the Seasons of Style DSP Stack, Cherry Cobbler 1″ Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon, and the Christmas Messages Stamp Set, all from the Holiday Mini catalog. As well as a variety of other wonderful products from the Stampin’ Up Idea Book & Catalog.

Stay tuned for more details on this mini memory book.

If you live close, you can c’mon out and join us the weekend of October 25th and 27th to make this little gem. If not, contact me and I can set you up.
