Christmas Gift Card Holders

Here are some fun gift card holders from a gift card swap.  Jan, Crista, Glenda and myself swapped some fun ideas and I wanted to share them. There was lots of CASING going on from other great demonstrators. I love how many demonstrators copy and share ideas.  I hope I have given credit to all ideas.  If I missed something, please contact me so I can give credit where credit is due.  All craft supplies are from Stampin'Up!

From left to right:
Jan Myers made fun treats for each of us, with candy inside. These mini coffee cups were a hit! Jan's idea came from Pink Buckaroo Designs. Love Erica's tutorial.

My gift card holder pattern came from LeeAnn Greff. She posted an easy gift card holder that's perfect for any occasion. I found the idea for the reindeer punch art from Dena Rekow, when she posted an adorable bag/gift card holder with the reindeer on the front. She got the reindeer from Jill Hillard--LOVE IT!! Dena even posted a great picture of all the punches used to make putting the reindeer together so easy!

Crista Bailey made a fun gift card holder (Crumb Cake card with Merry die cut), she got the idea from Dawn Olchefske.

Glenda Timkovich made a beautiful gift card holder using the Embellished Ornaments Bundle (Clear or Wood) from the Holiday Catalog. There is an ornament that pulls out of the top and holds a card or money.

Jan Myers made a great and easy card holder (black and gold on right). The envelope holds a card, and she used the Bow Builder Punch and Merry Die Cut to decorate.

Precision Base Plate

Many of the ideas in this swap used a Big Shot with dies and frailest. Right now the Precision Base Plate is on Sale (through Monday, December 14!!) as part of the Weekly Deals. This product is a must for Big Shot users. ONLY $18.75 THROUGH MONDAY!
I love detailed dies, but sometimes it's hard to make all the fine cuts crisp and sharp. The Precision Base Plate adds a little more oomph to your die sandwich, making working with detailed dies a dream! I used to use wax paper to help keep the details clean and help get the paper out of the die. No more! It works great with the Magnetic Platform too.

Here are close ups of Glenda's gift card holder and mine. I hope to get close ups of the others posted this week. Plus directions for my gift card holder.

There are so many great products in the Stampin'Up! Holiday catalog, but some will be gone when this catalog ends.

Say goodbye to retiring products from the 2015 Holiday Catalog, but before you do, there's still an opportunity to order your favorites. Retiring products will only be available until January 4, or while supplies last, so now's a great time to order them before they're gone!

I made this treat bag quickly and easily. With a few products from the Stampin'Up!

Fun Holiday Cards from Card Class

Here's a couple of fun holiday cards from class this weekend.  Melissa and Angela had fun making the holiday cards and let me take photos to share with you.  

I love so many of the products in the Stampin'Up! Holiday catalog!  These cards feature two bundles. 

Bundle the Happy Scenes stamp set with the Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies to save 15% off. The Real Red Envelope Paper from the Holiday catalog works great with the Bow Punch for a light weight accent on the card front.  It reminds me why I really like the Bow Punch.  Add a little glitter for sparkle and you have a fun card.

Bundle the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set with the Christmas Greetings Thinlits Dies to save 15% off. Silver Embossing powder and Silver Glitter Paper give this card some sparkle.  They liked one of my retired embossing folder instead of the one I used on my sample, those snowflakes are fun on this card.

The Bow Punch is on this week's Weekly Deals from Stampin'Up! So save when you order it now.  It makes a great accent on so many projects.
