On the THIRD Day of Christmas...

... my busy puppy-training consultant gave to me:

Another fun Gift Card holder! This is the VERY simple double-pocket gift card holder we made at the November Gathering! So easy to do, and it only uses one sheet of 6"x 8" paper!


This is what I love about the CTMH double-sided paper- it is perfect for this kind of project! I cannot take credit for this cute little template, but you can find a great video tutorial on fellow CTMH Consultant Nona Davenport's blog: http://www.nonapearl.blogspot.com/ (Scroll down on the left side, it will be the first video under "Classy Crafts" Tutorials).

For the one above, I used Evensong Creative Basics (B&T paper and the Olive grosgrain ribbon with it), Merry Pursuits, December Word Puzzle, and a Colonial White brad. I also used the Coluzzle circle template for the small holly berry circle on the front. Just slide a gift card in the back pocket, a tag in the front pocket, and viola, you are ready to give!

Happy Holidays!

Love these little elves!

The great thing about Football Sunday is that I can listen to the games and play with my stamps at the same time (not that I have a choice in listening... It is the only thing that is on in our house from pregame shows at 8:00 AM through the late game until at least 9:00 PM).

So on my last order, at the last minute, I bought the December Word Puzzle. I am not sure why I even bought it- I am not really into the word puzzles, but I am SO GLAD I DID! Oh My Gosh- I think this is my new favorite stamp set, I can see myself using this on everything and in so many different ways. It is definitely one of the most versital holiday sets I think CTMH came out with this year...

Of course, I also had to play with those cute little elves from Merry Pursuits =] Here are some of the cards I came up with today:



I embossed the little elf with black embossing powder and colored him in. Then I used liquid glass and glitter on the lights.
Inside the card:









This one is with the new Creative Basics Evensong paper. I embossed the elf again and colored him in. I also stamped on the ribbon. The full saying is on the inside of the card.





On this one I just stamped the elf and colored him in, and then cut him out (thank goodness for microtip scissors). He is on 3D foam squares, so it is "dimensional". I also used glitter on the snow and the Dec. Word Puzzle on the inside:



One more- real basic. I used Magical Season for this one:




That's all for tonight... I am going to watch the rest of the Cowboys game- it looks like they are going to win this one! GO ROMO!

Lots of Love,
