Best Wishes & Happy Thoughts

 

Happy Sunday! Today I'm playing along with the March 2023 Happy Little Stampers "Anything Goes With Dies Challenge."

My project features stamps, dies, and designer series papers from the Sun Prints Suite by Stampin' Up. This suite of products is absolutely stunning!!! I love it!
 

AND...my "card" is not just a card---the decorated front panel actually opens up and is a gift card holder :) I learned how to make these gift card holders from Karen Titus. You can check out her video tutorial HERE.

So...you slip your gift card in the pocket...and then you still have the blank card to write your message...
 

I first made this style of gift card holder to package up some gift cards we gave to my parents for Christmas. My mom was so excited about them that she's requested several more for her own personal use. She'll be using this one for my aunt and uncle's upcoming wedding anniversary. I hope they love it!

Thanks so much for visiting!!!

Have a fabulous day!

Pumpkin Gift Card Holders

 Happy Friday! Today I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - "Anything Goes" and sharing some festive little pumpkin gift card holders I made. These were inspired by the new Patchwork Pumpkin products over at Honey Bee Stamps AND also inspired by a super fun video by MayMay Made It Crafts (you can watch her YouTube video HERE.)

I had to tweak MayMay's instructions a bit as I don't have very many oval or circle dies (GASP!!!). I know!!! Better remedy that situation ASAP ;) Since the ovals I DO have weren't tall enough...and I didn't have a circle that was large enough...I just used what I had, built my pumpkins and then adhered them onto a 4" x 2 3/4" blank notecard. Not as neat and tidy as MayMay's...but still cute, right?!?!

I left the inside of the notecards blank, so they can be used for Halloween, Thanksgiving or just general Autumn-themed gifties. But I did use the Gift Card Grooves Dies from MFT to die-cut some little slots for holding the gift cards in place:

 And of course once I got rolling on this I just kept right on going. Ha!

 I made six. Two of each color scheme. Here's a look at the whole pumpkin patch:

 

What do you think??? Do you have a favorite???

Hello there! Today I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. The theme this time around is "Anything Goes"---YAY!

I recently came across Paula Dobson's tutorial for tea bag and coffee holders on YouTube and decided to give it a go :) Here's how it turned out:

Lawn Fawn's Love You A Latte stamps and dies were perfect for dressing up the little holders, which were very simple to put together :) I tied the tops together with some jute twine and a felt leaf (I've literally been hoarding these things for YEARS!!! Time to put them to use---ha!)

I decided to make mine tea and chocolate square holders. The tea bag is in the front pocket and the chocolate is in the back pocket. Here's a look at the back:

 

I also inserted a small blank piece of cardstock in the back as a place to write a message. My color combo came from the contents of the package. Here's a look at all the pieces:

These were so much fun to make that I ended up creating a bunch more!

I REALLY wanted to use the to-go cup in the stamp set, so that sparked the idea of making a few more without the tea and chocolates (to use as gift card holders):

I still put a blank piece of cardstock in the back pocket as a place to write a message (and you could still put a chocolate in there too---why not, right?!?!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!!

Sending Warm And Cozy Hugs

 

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm playing along with The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge :) The theme is "Anything But A Card," so I created some gift card holders using the Coffee Gift Card Holder Honey Cuts from Honey Bee Stamps. So super fun!

Here's a look:

The dies make these so easy to create! The sleeve slides on and off to access the gift card and also serves to hold the gift card in place.
 

I watched a video by my incredibly talented friend, Nichol Spohr, where she used vellum for the sleeve, and I really loved the way it allowed more of the patterned paper to show on the overall design.

I had such a great time creating these that I decided to make some more in other patterns!

I hope you're having a wonderful week so far!

Thanks for visiting!!!
