Quick & easy gift token holder

This is the next project we did at my class the other night & folds up so that there is a wee pocket to insert those gift cards that look like a "credit card" into - yes SU! does great gift packaging - for any demos that read my blog this project can be found in October 2009 Impressions which is online & the template is in the library (Pouches 2).

Stamp set: Snow Swirled
Ink: Old Olive
Paper: Old Olive textured, Cherry Cobbler, Jolly Holiday DSP
Punches: 1-1/4" circle, 1-3/8" circle, scallop trim border
Other: Rhinestone brad, dimensionals, crop-a-dile, Very Vanilla 3/8" grosgrain ribbon

I'll be back tomorrow with the 2nd holder which is really fabulous but if you'd like to learn any of these projects - think about scheduling a home workshop - I'll come to you & all you need is 4-10 friends & it's all FREE.

Really quick Christmas cards!

As there's hardly any stamping! I've used the fabulous Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper that is only available with the Christmas Bundle offer which closes November 30.

The paper used for this one is flocked & is fabulous in real life.

I'm not sure why this is just a straight paper but almost looks 3D.

Stamp set: Many Merry Messages
Ink: Real Red
Paper: Real Red or Soft Suede, Whisper White, Christmas Cocoa DSP
Other: Ornament punch, dimensionals, Real Red 1/8" taffeta ribbon, mini glue dots.
Cutting: 4-1/8" square card with 3-7/8" & 3-3/4" mats.

So if you'd like to order some of this fabulous paper get in before November 30.

I am blown away by this card

It's so amazing & yet so easy! Brayering was the technique my fabulous upline Jacque taught at class last night. She took her inspiration from Michele Zindorf (of course).
