Gingerbread Man Gift Card/Money Holder

 Hello & Happy Thursday, Friends!

Yesterday turned out to be a very cold, rainy day! We got our inspection done before noon then ran out to do some errands. I was happy to get home and put my pj's on for the rest of the day.

Today I have a quick gift card holder to share with you made with the Gingerbread Man bundle from the 2025 Stampin Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. If you know me you know I am a huge fan of gingerbreads! My kitchen use to be decorated all year long with them but the last several years I started packing my gingers up once Christmas was over. 

Anyways, I am in need of some gift card/money holders so I whipped this one up.

Card Details:

Stamps: Gingerbread Man

Ink: Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Pecan Pie, Real Red, Garden Green, Basic White, Greetings For You Ephemera Pack, Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP

Accessories: Gingerbread Dies, Garden Green Ribbon (retired), Traditions Sparkle Sequins, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Inside the card is a pocket to slip in money or a gift card.

I have had this bundle since August and this is the first I pulled it out and played with it! I'm not sure why I waited so long! It's adorable!

Christmas Tags & More Pocket Card

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

Hope your weekend is going well!

We got all our chores done yesterday so today will be a bit of a relaxation day since football is on at noon. Our Baltimore Ravens haven't been doing so great so I will probably watch and craft at the same time.

Today I want to share with you a card that I made using the Christmas Tags & More Kit from the 2025 Stampin Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. This caught my eye from the start and was in my original preorder. Once my order arrived I put it away and kinda forgot about it until I looked thru the catalog which reminded me of it. I played with it one day last week and made this card. I was on a roll with making Christmas Gift Card Holders but this one I left blank for now.

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Real Red, Garden Green, Basic White, Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP, Greetings For You Ephemera Pack

Accessories: Low Profile Dots (Online Exclusives), Real Red Shimmer Ribbon, Gold Twine (retired), Hand Held Hole Punch (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Everything but the cardstock & sentiments come in the Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP and this pack is loaded with pretty designer series paper images. The sentiment is from the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack which is also loaded with different sentiments! Also this pack is adhesive back which makes for creating cards really quick! I am loving this entire combo of products! I have made a few quick Christmas gift cards holders so far which I will share soon! Check out the Stampin Up! 2025 Holiday Mini Catalog if your interested in this! If you have a busy life and need to create cards, gift cards or gifts for the upcoming holiday...these are the products for you!

More Christmas Gift Cards

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you enjoyed a nice weekend!

I feel like it flew by so quick once again. Shawn has 2 days of work this week (yes, he has to work on Christmas Eve) and then he will be on vacation until January 2nd. We will work on getting all the ceramic trees & decorations put away while he's off but i'm in no hurry for it to go back to being dark.

Today I have a busy day so I'm going to share with you the last of the Christmas gift card holders I made then i'm headed to the kitchen to make deviled eggs for Christmas Eve at Kelsey's and cut up cheese & bologna. 

I only needed 3 but made 4 just incase something came up and I needed one. The last one (poinsettia) will most likely go on my card rack for next year but I did say that I would make more as the year goes on so I don't have to rush to get them made. I sold quite a few gift card holders this year so that makes me smile!

I am not going to list all the products used on these cards so if you need to know anything please let me a comment and i'll get back to you with an answer.

Gift Card/Money Holders for Christmas

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

It's quite the cold & blustery day here in Pennsylvania after a day of snow yesterday! Burrr!

Winter arrived this morning and boy, did it ever! I said today I was going to hibernate and that is what the plan is! Groceries are bought and I got my wrapping paper & tape so i'm good to go!

Today I am sharing 6 gift card/money holders that I made up for Shawn's HR lady at work. I worked on these last Saturday and rather enjoyed making them! 

I am not going to list everything I used in making these but if there is something you need to know please don't hesitate to leave me a comment and I will reply.

I still have a few more gift card holders to make for gifts this weekend and other than that my Christmas crafts are pretty much wrapped up! 

Hope you stay warm and enjoy the last few days before the Christmas holiday!

I am trying hard to work ahead on all things for the upcoming holidays and as I was going thru my card rack to see what it needed I realized my Christmas Gift Card Holder slot was empty.

Merry Fishmas!

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!!

Today is the day Shawn is set to get his Epidural Injection in his lower back.

I have been down this road 3 times and tried to calm him telling him what will happen. It really is nothing to worry about but I know since it's his first time he's worried. His appt is at 9:50 this morning and yes, it's snowing! His boss has graciously offered to take us and then come back to pick us up when he is ready to leave and he has a truck so no worries on getting there. Shawn is not allowed to drive afterwards and we were going to take an Uber. I guess I get to meet the boss today! Haha! I'll update tomorrow on how it goes...just say a

little prayer in hopes that it's a step in the right direction to help his pain.

Anyways, today I have a cool card to share that I made last month for Ryan. He wanted something special for Shawn for Christmas to put his Bass Pro Shop Gift Card in. I knew exactly what I wanted to make and everyone loved how it turned out!

Card Details:

Stamps: More Wishes, Alphabest, Warm Hugs (retired)

Ink: Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight

Cardstock: Misty Moonlight, Basic White, One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, Let's Go Fishing DSP

Accessories: Best Label Punch, Tailored Tag Punch (retired), Misty Moonlight Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Perfect for the fisherman in my house and Ryan got all the compliments!

Cute Gift Card Holder

 Hello & Happy Christmas Eve, Everyone!

I am in slow mode today after waking up with a snoot full.

My sinuses are getting the best of me. 

I just hope it does not turn into another sinus infection that started the who ordeal back in August/September when I was sick for about 6-8 weeks.

I did test again this morning and for 4 days in a row I tested negative.

Shawn on the other hand is feeling pretty good. Still has a little bit of a cough but the body aches have subsided. I'm glad he's starting to feel good!

Today I have one last Christmas project to share that I made last week when Marisa over at Kitchen Table Stamped shared on how she made these quick & cute gift card holders.

Here is the link if your interested in making one....Gift Card Holder

My Gift Card closes with the help of those small round magnets that I have hidden under the snowflake on the front and one under the panel where the gift card slides in at. The ones I have are super flat and did not affect the gift card sliding in or out.

Project Details:

Stamps: Framed & Festive, Christmas To Remember

Ink: Evening Evergreen

Cardstock: Soft Succulent, Basic White, Gold Foil Paper, Lights Aglow DSP

Accessories: Seasonal Layers Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Twinkling Lights Dies, Circle Punch (retired), Tailor Made Tags Dies, Gold Cord, Gold Swirls (retired), Magnetic Buttons, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I hope when I can get back to my stamp table to make more of these!

They are a nice size and quick to make.

Well, I am off to the kitchen to get my meatballs started and the cheese tray.

I have my stuffing made with the help of Shawn telling me how to make it.

He is the one who usually makes the stuffing & turkey but this year it will be all up to me.

How are you spending your Christmas Eve?

I hope to watch some other movies tonight that are not Hallmark and get a good nights sleep!

Brightest Glow Gift Card

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

I sure hope your staying cool where ever you are!

Today & tomorrow our weather here is to be extremely hot & humid. I don't think any rain is forecasted until Monday. I popped out last night to grab some groceries and this morning I need to hit the Post Office then Home Depot to get an outside blind for the front porch. After that the plan is to wash my bedsheets and hide in my stamp room where it's much cooler!

Not sure what we will be having for supper...maybe hot dogs on the grill and some corn on the cob we picked up at a local farm stand last night. 

Going to try to keep it easy without heating up the kitchen.

My card that I am sharing for my Christmas in July series today is a pretty gift card/money holder. I sell alot of them during the holidays so I will need to focus more on them as we get closer to Christmas. Here is one I made just recently...

Card Details:

Stamps: Brightest Glow

Ink: Real Red, Real Red Stampin Blend (coloring the ribbon)

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Real Red, Basic White, Boughs of Holly DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Vanilla w Gold Trim Ribbon (retired), Festive Pearls, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

On the inside flap it says Merry Christmas!

Painted Christmas Gift Card Holder

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend!

I am back today with another Christmas in July card. 

This time it's a gift card holder!

This suite of products came out in last year's 2021 July-December Mini Catalog and I was head over heels in love with it! I can tell you that I have used it a ton and since it carried over into the 2022-2023 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog.....I will be using it even more!

I seriously think it's my all time favorite, ever!

Card Details:

Stamps: Christmas to Remember, Christmas Season

Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Soft Succulent

Cardstock: Soft Succulent, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Painted Christmas DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Seasonal Labels Dies, Soft Succulent In Color Jewels (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The slot on my card rack that was for Gift Card Holders was empty so I figured now I can get a head start on getting this kind of stuff made up before the craziness of the holidays get here! Gift Card Holders are a good seller for me!

This is the template that I use for most of my gift card holders...
