Gift Card Holders

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!  Sorry I've been MIA.  I have been so busy.  I wanted to share some gift card holders I had made for my family get together yesterday.  The papers I've used are from Stampin' Up, Doodlebug, and Bo Bunny.  I used the Stampin' Up Pop N' Cuts die, and the WRMK Envelope Punch Board for the one that has three mini envelopes.

The sentiments are from Cardz TV stamps sets, the ornament stamps, Dec. 25,  Naughty or Nice, snowman, and reindeer are from Stampin' Up stamps.  The little ornaments were punched using a Stampin' Up punch.  The stocking punch is from Fiskars.

Well I hope to change gears soon to start on Valentine's projects.  Right now it's time to put away Christmas papers.  Let me tell you, they are all over my craft table.  I hope you all have a great weekend!  I would love to hear from you.

Lots of Hugs,

Trim The Tree!

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  I have been having so much fun with my Cardz TV stamps and Stampin' Up stamps and punches.  And of course my trusty We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.  I just love making file folder cards with it.

I used Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations card stock for the base.  The paper is from Stampin' Up.  The "Trim the tree!" sentiment is from the Cardz TV Stamps "Very Merry."  The ornament stamp, ornament punch, sentiment inside, and the 2 3/8 scallop circle punch, and the Merry (framelit) are from Stampin' Up.  (Thanks to my bestie Annette!)

It's unbelievable how fast the time is going!  My daughter informs me that I need to wrap more presents for under the tree.  So much to do so little time so I better get back to work.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I would love to hear from you!

Lots of Hugs,

He's Making a List

Hello  my crafty friends!  I hope you've had a great week so far.  I just wanted to share my project really quick before I head out into the freezing cold to battle the crowds and shop.  I used the Stampin' Up Top Note Die and the Santa's List stamp.  I am just in love with their Christmas stamps.  I also used the Season of Style Designer Series paper pack.  If you would like to make one of these here's a link to a tutorial I found.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope you've been having a good day so far.  Around the castle it's been freezing! Saturday we had a big snowstorm that left over a foot of snow.  My back doesn't like it.  When I took my daughter to school today the thermometer in the car said 3 degrees.  Counting the day till summer!  Anyway, I have been making so many different treat holders lately.  These are Rolos.  I used a 7/8 inch scallop circle punch,  a 1/2 inch punch, the Word Window punch, and the Modern Label punch from Stampin' Up.  The Ho! Ho! Ho! stamp is from the Cardz TV Stamps set "Home for Christmas."  The Merry Christmas stamp is from the "Tiny Tidings" set.

And His Name Shall Be Called Wonderful Counsellor

Hello my crafty friends!  I wanted to share a file folder card I made a couple of weeks ago.  I need more time in the day lately.  Any way, I used one of my favorite tools, the WRMK punch board.  The stamp on the front is from Stampin' Up.  It's one of their single stamps.  As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.  The sentiment inside is from a Stampin' Up set called Christmas Messages.  I used the Deco Labels Collection framelit set from Stampin' Up.  The ornaments were punched using the Mosaic punch from Stampin' Up.  The corners were punched using an EK Success corner punch.  The branches were punched using a Martha Stewart punch.

I hope you are having a good weekend.  Here around the Castle it's been snowing all day.  I need to find the off switch!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and I would really love to hear from you!

Here Come's Santa

Hello my crafty friends!  If you are looking for my Cardz TV Go-to Galz Challenge CLICK HERE.  I bought large Hershey bars to make these holders using the WRMK Envelope Punch Board for Halloween, but time got away from me.  So here's my Christmas version.  To see how to make these, here's the tutorial I found.  I'm just so in love with this punch board!  Anyway, I used real red core'dinations card stock for the holder, glitter paper, and real red ink.  I used the Curly Label punch from Stampin up for the buckle. The sentiment is from the Cardz TV Stamps set "Very Merry."   This set is perfect for cards!                                             
Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope to hear from you!   Have a great day!

1 1/4 circle punch for the middle, the 1 3/8 circle punch for the bottom, and the 1 3/4 inch scallop circle punch.  For his hat I used a 1 inch square punch and rounded the corners.  For the brim I used the Word Window punch and shortened it a little.   The Snowmen are built one flake at a time sentiment is from the "Tiny Tidings" set.  The bags I used are Pretzel bags and just trimmed them down a little.
