Coffee Gift Card Holders

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I made a bunch of gift card/money holders for the craft show.

These are for some serious coffee lovers!

Coffee Gift Card Holders:

Stamps: Perfect Blend, Gift for You

Ink: Island Indigo, Garden Green

Cardstock: Island Indigo, Garden Green, Whisper White, Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler, This Christmas DSP, Winter's Frost DSP

Accessories: Circle Punch, Decorative Dots EF, Gold & Silver Metallic Doilies, Label Bracket Punch, Gold & Silver Cord, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I never made a Coffee Gift Card Holder before but these turned out to be a great seller!

Must be alot of coffee drinkers out there! 

Directions for the Gift Card Holders:

Cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2

on 8 1/2 side score at 2 and 6.

Fold on scored lines. 

The end with the 2 inch score gets adhered on the sides to create a pocket. I use Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue or 2 Sided Tape. This is where you place the gift card or money.

The end where it is 2 1/2 inch fold...this should fold down to cover the top of the 2 inch pocket. This is the end that gets decorated.

I got these measurements many years ago from a challenge on Splitcoaststampers.

Here is the template I use except it says to use brads on the ends that get adhered....I don't use them....I just use a good adhesive.

Have fun!

It's Finally Christmas!

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Merry Christmas!!!!

My post today is to share with you all the Christmas Coffee Cup Carriers that I made this season!

Take a look....

I'm not sure I had a favorite because I love them all and i'm happy that they all went to new homes for Christmas too! 

Today our Baltimore Ravens are playing football against the Pittsburgh Steelers so we are going to have our Christmas dinner early. Hopefully we can get a quick walk in before dinner. 

My hubby got me a new bike for Christmas!!! I just love it as it matches my sneakers! Haha!

I can't wait for spring weather now to go out and ride it! How many days till spring??!!

I hope Santa was good to all of you, too!

Christmas Notebooks Part 3

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Today is Christmas Eve! 

I'm ready for the hoopla to be over although I do love the Christmas spirit!

I made a pan of lasanga for our Christmas Eve supper and i'm looking forward to a low key evening with Shawn, the 2 kids and of course my puppies!

Today I have the last of my Christmas Notebooks to share.

I made alot of them this year as my plan was to empty out my drawers, get them decorated and sold. The plan was successful as only 1 notebook came home with me.

Here are the last 4....

This one uses the Snow Place Bundle and Winter's Frost Specialty DSP.

This one uses the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle and the Candy Cane Lane DSP.

This one uses paper that came from AC Moore. Not sure of the maker. My penguin is from Whipper Snapper.

This last one uses the Santa's Sleigh Bundle and Pinecones & Presents DSP.

I did not get much use out of the Santa's Sleigh bundle this season but I hope to next year! 

I love the tree & the reindeer and the idea's I have seen for the sleigh are awesome!

My thoughts today...

I'll see you tomorrow!

Merry Christmas, friends!

Christmas Notebooks Part 2

Hello & Happy Friday!

2 days till Christmas!

Today I have more of my covered notebooks to show.

I used a variety of stamps, papers, ribbon & embellishments on these.

Too many too list! 

These have always been a terrific seller at my craft shows over the years.

Depending on size and the price I paid for them, I usually sell them from $3 on up and they all come with a Pentel RSVP Pen which has the barrel that I slip a piece of matching dsp in.

Lately though, I have had a hard time finding the spiral bound notebooks and this is probably one of my most asked for items for Christmas.

*********************************************

My thoughts today....

Has anyone ever watched Disney's A Christmas Carol movie?

 I thought it was such a great movie!

It really shows the meaning of Christmas.

That is all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Holiday Sweets

Hello & Happy Thursday!

We are now 3 days till Christmas!

Are you ready?

I can now say that I am!

The gifts have all arrived and been wrapped, the cookies have been baked and all my Christmas cards have been sent!

So to wrap things up today I am sharing the last of my sweet treats.

First up is a design I have to give full credit to my dear friend, Vicki Burdick. She sent me a package of goodies and these were included. She made these for her OnStage swap for Kansas City in early November. I thought they were adorable and of course I had to case & copy them!

She used the Mini Treat Bag Framelits to make them.

Each one holds a small Hershey Bar.

Thank you for sharing, Vicki! My customers loved them!

Next I whipped up these treat bags using York Peppermint Patties.

The stamp is from an old Hero Arts set and my holly leaves are a Jolee's Sticker.

I also used the Pretzel Bags from Wilton because they are a bit wider than Stampin Up's 2 x 8 Cello Bags.

Last up is the M&M Sticks!

People just love these and I have to agree! 

They make a nice little treat and who doesn't chocolate!

I used the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle on these as well as the 1 x 8 retired Cello Bags. 

And if you know me, you know I love my Gingerbreadmen so I had to use him this year!

These have all gone to a new home for Christmas as they do make a nice little gift or stocking stuffer!!

That's all for today!
