Deer Gift Card Holder

 We are on our count down to Christmas!

It is only a few days away.

So last night I made this quick gift card holder to share with you-

just in case you needed to make one for a last minute gift!

I used thee Deer Builder Punch, along with the Sweet Stockings DSP!

 

I made this so that the top DSP flap would latch underneath the right edge of the circle!

Noticed how I used the Basic Borders Dies to make the top edge a little shorter.

This is what it looks like opened up.

See how I made the pocket to slide the gift card/or cash into!

NOTE:  When adhering this pocket to the card base, just make sure that you

only use adhesive long the 3 edges.

This is the pattern that I used for the DSP pocket.

It is 4 x 4 1/4"- scored at 2" along the 4" side.

I then did a partial punch out using the Everyday Label Punch.

I adhered the DSP pocket to the INSIDE of the card edge.

So what do you think?

Isn't it cute & simple!

I hope you like it & make this fun gift card/cash holder too!

 

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp set:  'Peaceful Deer'

Peaceful Cabin Ornament

Check out this pretty wood ornament I decorated with Stampin' Up! products!!

 

I used the Peaceful Cabin Bundle, along with the Whimsy & Wonder DSP!

 

When my sister-in-law Sheryl was staying with us for a week in October,

we got together with a few friends & stamped.

We all made this ornament together.

Isn't it just gorgeous!

How did I do it?

• It is a wood ornament that I got ordered on line.
• Used my Dark Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blend & colored along the edges of the wood, so that it was blue.
• Traced the ornament & cut out a circle from the Whimsy DSP
• Used the Snowy White Velvet Sheets along the bottom for the snow, making a partial circle.  
• Stamped the cabin & trees onto a 2 3/4" strip of Basic White card stock, using Misty Moonlight Ink & die cut the images.
• Made a smoke image out of Vellum, cutting it with scissors.
• Punched out a few little stars from the Starlit Punch, out of Vellum.
• Found an OLD (retired) little snowman in my stamp stash, stamped it in Misty Moonlight ink & cut it out with scissors.
• Used Silver  Cord from the Simply Elegant Trim for the ornament to hang with.

I decorated the back of the ornament like this.

I used:

• Misty Moonlight card stock & embossed with the pine image from the Christmas Pinecone Dies.
• Basic White card stock- die cut image from the Encircled in Beauty Dies.
• Stamped words from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set onto Basic White card stock, using Misty Moonlight ink & die cut with the Layering Circle Dies.

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!

Happy Stamping!

Tidings of Christmas Pinwheel Christmas Card

 This is a pinwheel pattern using the Tidings of Christmas DSP.
WOW!

I love it & hope you do too!

It is so pretty & really not that hard to make.

This is one of the cards that everyone made at my Holiday Extravaganza class.

This is what the card looks like when it is opened up.

Notice how I used the Wintry 3D (Pine) Embossing Folder underneath the words.

I made this template to help layout out the blocks & get them straight.

 Each DSP Square Block is 1 1/4 x 1 1/4".

You need 8 different squares to make this one pattern.

The key to making this pinwheel pattern is to make sure 

all of your squares stay straight & everything lines up in the center.

 

I have a couple of other Pin Wheel cards already posted on my blog.

You can click on these links below to find out more information & steps in making this layout.
