Christmas Gift Card Holder

The blue card stock was 11" x 5.5", scored at 3.5", 5.5", and 7.5". I folded this into an M shape. Using my Cuttlebug and my Sizzix Ornate Frame die, I put the folded edges below the scalloped edge of the die (so I would not cut the folded edge). I taped the folded edges together so the gift card would not fall out. I decorated the front with a punched scallop and circle on dimensionals, a stamped "Merry Christmas", and a ribbon to keep the holder closed. The inside has a stamped image and room for a written message.

I used the Stampin' Up word window punch along the folded edge to create the "pocket" for the gift card. The punch has a half-way mark on its side; that made the line up much easier.

This idea is not an original idea of mine. I watched a video on YouTube with Stamping With Heather (www.stampwithheather.ca) and adapted it to this similar card.

Birthday: Embossed Numbers

Another birthday for a friend. I used an ecru card stock for the card base and an orange card stock for embossing the Numbers folder from Cuttlebug. I used the Stampin' Up punch for the greeting on the front; I used dimensionals for the scallop. Ribbon and jewels completed the front.

Christmas Card

Using a copper metallic card stock with white card stock for the embossed pattern, I was going for the simple, elegant look. I used the new Cuttlebug Christmas embossing folder with the tree landscape. The inside of the card has two rubber stamped images. I colored the flame of the candle with yellow.

Embossed Gift Tags

These gift tags are both Christmas and birthday themed. The tags were cut with the Cuttlebug dies, then embossed with various folders. What a fun project for my daughter Aaron and grandson Patrick!

Christmas Gift Tags

Using my Cuttlebug dies to cut the tag shape and the scallop shapes made this a quick project. The tags are 2" by 2.75".

The red tag used a white scallop. I glued a punched snowflake and stamped Merry!

The white tag has a bubble background stamp, red scallop, white punched circle, and stamped and colored holly and ivy. I used a To, From stamp set in green.

The green tag used the snowflake stamp with Warm Winter Wishes embossed with pearl embossing powder.

I stamped the backs with a small "Stamped in Montana" with the shape of Montana.
