Gift Card/ Money Holders

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope your weekend was a nice one!

Today I am making a tray of deviled eggs and cutting up a cheese & bologna tray to snack on this evening. Shawn is putting a small piece of brisket in the smoker for sandwiches.

Going to go visit some friends later this evening and then back home to get things ready for our Christmas dinner tomorrow.

We popped out to a local antique store yesterday.

I spotted a very small ceramic Christmas tree in the window, so I was going to rescue it.

It was way more than I wanted to pay for it so I ended up buying a piano bench instead.

It was in excellent shape and had storage under the seat.

I know your probably asking.....why a piano bench?

Right now it is in my living room with a Christmas tree sitting on it!

It looks so good! I actually was going to put a couple small ceramic trees on it but I really missed not putting an actual tree up this year...SO, I went to my storage room and got my little tree out.

I got it all finished within about an hour.

I feel so much better now having a tree up (besides all my ceramic trees)!

The Christmas festivities can now start! LOL

 I am sharing the rest of the gift card holders that I made.

These were made for family & friends....

Take a look!

This one uses a retired set called Merry Little Labels from last year.

The DSP is from 2011 called Jolly Holiday.

This one uses the Buffalo Check Background stamp and I paired that with a saying from the Takeout Treats. Both stamps are from the 2018 Holiday Mini Catalog.

This card uses the Candy Cane Season set with matching Candy Cane Builder Punch.

The plaid paper is from the Under the Mistletoe DSP from the SU Annual Catalog.

I love anything plaid!

This one uses the Dashing Deer Bundle.

Sorry the Silver Foil Deer got washed out.

The DSP is from the Festive Farmhouse Suite.

The next 2 cards use the Nothing Sweeter Bundle.

I was late to the party on ordering this bundle!

It is also from the SU Holiday Mini Catalog.

The paper is from the Festive Farmhouse DSP.

This last one uses the Snowflake Sentiment stamp set from last year but it is still available in our SU Annual Catalog. The saying is from a set in the SU Holiday Mini Catalog called Merry Christmas to All. The silver Snowflake Trinket came from the Snowflake Showcase Suite that is no longer available.

These are fun to make and a great way to gift money or a gift card in!

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the gift card holders I made this year!

These are very easy, too! I guess that's why I continue to use this same style every year!

My thoughts today....

That is all for now!
I will be back tomorrow with pictures of my ceramic Christmas trees!

Hope you can find a few minutes to stop by!

Have a wonderful Christmas Eve, my stamp friends!

Christmas Cards

Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

As we count down the days until Christmas I wanted to share the cards that my friends made for our recent stamp day. Maybe some of you are still creating your holiday cards so these idea's just might help you to get them completed.

This set uses the Christmas Traditions Punch Box from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Love the rustic feel to this card with the Festive Farmhouse DSP & Corrugated Embossing Folder.

We even added a piece of Cotton Cherry Cobbler Twine to it and a Gold Rhinestone!

This one uses the Christmas Traditions Punch Box as well.

So pretty with the Tranquil Tide & pops of Copper Foil in the DSP and Ribbon!

This Elf Card also uses the Christmas Traditions Punch Box!

I was trying to let the Santa's Worshop DSP do all the work and only adding my sentiment.

They also make for a quick & easy card!

This card uses the Candy Cane Season Bundle.

The stamp has this Candy Cane Builder Punch to go with it!

This card is a complete case from Ange McKay whom is a Canadian Demonstrator,

She is the reason I purchased this bundle! I loved her card!!

My next card is made using the November Snowflake Showcase stamp set.

This is the Snow Is Glistening stamp set & Snowfall Thinlits!

I loved everything about this bundle and the fact that it went so well with the Joyous Noel DSP!

Copper was so on trend this holiday season!

The girls LOVED this card...so did I!!

This card uses the Timeless Tidings stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

It also had a kit to help you create quick holiday cards but every time I seemed to order it was not available. That's ok....I really liked this card I made using it!

This uses the All is Bright DSP which has become a favorite!

Love the traditional red & green in these papers!

Timeless Tidings is an amazing set with loads of sentiments!

And do you see my little green rhinestone??

I colored that with my Call Me Clover SU Blends Marker! 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing all the cards my friends got to make last weekend!

We had a great time and they loved the cards and that always makes me happy!

4 more days until Santa makes his rounds!

Are you ready?

That is all for now!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Candy Cane Season

Hello & Happy Friday!

The weekend is here but it's not to be a very nice one here in PA.

Rain, rain, rain!

Guess it's better than snow, right?!

Today I have a quick card to share made using a set from the Stampin Up Holiday Mini Catalog called Candy Cane Season.

It goes so nicely with the Santa's Workshop DSP which is what I used on this card.

I did find that layering 2 of the candy cane stamps were kinda tricky. 

I pulled out my Stamp A Ma Jig to line them up and then they came out perfectly!

Card Details:

Stamps: Candy Cane Season, Half Full (sentiment)

Ink: Poppy Parade

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, Santa's Workshop DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Candy Cane Builder Punch, Red Rhinestone, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm sad that I have run out of time to use this bundle.

It's a great set! 

I do have one more card to share next week with it.

I can't share until the girls make it on Saturday.

Stay tuned...
