7 Days Until Christmas...

...finally all the gifts are wrapped, and packages are ready to mail to out of town destinations. I made these gift card holders for the gift card gifts this year.  It sure beats the little envelope they sometimes give you.

Here it is open, showing the gift card.                       


These are so fun to make and you can get 3 from one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock. A great way to use up small pieces of Designer Series Paper too!
If you would like to make your own, here are the directions:

• Cut card stock 3 1/2" x 8 1/2"
• Score cardstock on long edge at 2 1/2" and 6 1/2"
• Use the Corner Rounder to round corners of cardstock only on the 2" end
• Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper:  3 1/4 " x 1 3/4"  and  3 1/4" x 2 1/4"- I used Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum and Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper
• Use the Corner Rounder to round corners only on the 1 3/4" piece of Designer Paper.
• Place Tear & Tape adhesive along both side edges and fold to form a pocket
• Attach Designer Series Paper to outside of gift card holder using Snail Adhesive
• Punch out cardstock circle for layering - I used the 2" Circle Punch
• Stamp a greeting - I used a greeting from Lots of Joy Stamp Set 
• Punch out stamped greeting -  I used the 1 3/4" circle punch. 
• Layer circles using Stampin' Dimensionals to attach it to the top front of gift card holder.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I look forward to sharing more Christmas countdown tomorrow.

10 days until Christmas...

....and the fun continues. My Stampin' Up! downline group gathered at my home for a Christmas Lunch, Make & Take and Gift Exchange.  We had a great time and missed those that couldn't be with us.  Everyone brought a salad to share, and I provided the beverages and dessert.

I provided a Make & Take project for everyone, what would a Stampin' Up! gathering be without some stamping!  Thanks to Sandy Haynes for the adorable idea I received from her swap at convention in July.
Elves in a sleigh!!

The "Elf Kisses" fit right in the sleigh

  
For the gift exchange, we each made a gift for everyone that attended.  Here is the gift I exchanged.  The frame ornament has a hand stamped image inside instead of a photo.  Got the inspiration from Pinterest. In the cello bag, is a scented foaming soap and hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works and a little packet of Christmas tissues.  All tied up with pretty ribbon.

I am so happy you stopped by today and I hope to see you back tomorrow for more of the countdown to Christmas.  Also on Thursday is the Stampin Friends Christmas Blog Hop where I will be a guest blogger.
