Day 8 Christmas Post




Today I made a Christmas gift card holder. It's perfect for those last minute gift card purchases to give them a "homemade" feel.

The base is made from Real Red card stock, cut 4-1/4"x6-5/8". Score it along the 6-5/8" side at 2-3/8" and 4-7/8". Fold along the score lines. The 1-3/4" section if the top flap. Punch the center of the 2-3/8" section with the 1" circle punch half-way down, then attach along the right and left sides using Sticky Strip.

The "a gift for you ...Merry Christmas" image is from the Christmas Punch stamp set and was colored using Real Red and Glorious Green markers on Whisper White card stock. This was punched out using the Large Oval punch, then layered onto a piece of Glorious Green card stock that was punched using the Scallop Oval punch. Attach this along the top half to the upper flap.

To finish it off and keep it closed, tie a piece of 1/2" Real Red striped ribbon around the top of the gift card holder.

Here is a picture of the gift card holder open:


Come back tomorrow to see what day 9 has in store.

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...
