Festival of Christmas - Gift cards or tags

Hello again! Welcome to another Crafty Festival Of Christmas blog hop. A refresher … I am making and sharing holiday projects every Friday until Christmas in an event my friends and I are calling the ‘CRAFTY Festival of Christmas’. Every week we will feature a different theme.

Check out our previous hops:

1. Snarky or Snowy cards

2. Fancy fold or Mass production projects

3. This week our theme is Gift card holders or tags

I' love decorating gifts and this year and I tagging all those gifts with a little ornament. I like how it pushes the gift a little bit farther.

My mantra this season: Simple, Simple, SIMPLE! Simple is key. It doesn’t take much to add a little handmade flair to those gifts. My Christmas crafting in general is very simple because it is such a busy time of year.

These candy cane ornaments have been dressed up with a few stamped images from the Winter Gifts stamp set and sparkly enamel dots. Easy peasy!

This next set of simple tags incorporates a few craft store goodies (tiny ornaments and plastic fir sprigs). These have been hot glued onto super thick white card stock. The card stock has been punched into a tag shape and stamped with a simple ”to: from:” sentiment. I made a dozen or so of these and have them at the ready to attached to any gift. The generic color scheme makes this easy to coordinate.

I also made a few more gift card holders. Again, simple is key. These gift card holders are folded from wood paper and have a tiny bottle brush tree tied to the plaid belly band. The belly band slides on and off the gift card holder easily.

The gift card holder paper measurement is 3” x 6”. I have scored at 1.75” and 4.25”. These are roll folded. Then, with a hobby blade, I added a few slots on the interior to hold the gift card.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week! The full blog link up can be found below.

Global Design Project - Sketch Challenge - GDP210 - Cup of Christmas

Hello! Welcome to another Global Design Project challenge. Here in the USA are coming off of a long Thanksgiving weekend. It was a great time to visit with family, relax, craft & eat. So much to be thankful for.

This sketch challenge was tricky for me. It took me forever to figure out how to work in two squares and make one focal point but I did it and am happy with the result. This card features Cup of Christmas. The two cups nestle nicely in the two squares. What do you think?

Check out the Global Design Project blog for more projects and details on how to play along with us. If you make a project be sure to tag your project #gdp218 so we can see your work!

Monday Montage 153 - Cup of Christmas Cocoa holders

The Montage Montage crew is back today to share what we are working on.

The past few weeks I have been preparing and making projects for our local Holiday stroll. It happening next Saturday, Dec 7. I will be setting up a booth selling a few handmade cards and goodies.

Last year I made simple hot cocoa packets and these sold quickly. I decided to make a few more for this year using the Cup of Christmas bundle of products. These are so simple to make and mass produce. If these do not sell I’ll gift them to my sons teachers with a Coffee gift card. :)

The Monday Montage crew is a talented bunch. A quick refresher, the Montage gals host a blog hop every other Monday showing you fun and exciting Stampin’ Up! products. Ready for more Stampin’ Up! inspiration? Be sure to loop through the entire hop and see all of the amazing artwork created just to inspire! Next up is Elizabeth!
