Stampin' Up! Letters to Santa Gift Card/Candy Holders 6 and 7!

Good morning friends! I am late with my post today. It is going to rain here all day so I took the pups for an invigorating walk today. Loving this cooler air in Texas- about time!


Today you are going to get a treat! I will be sharing 2 different Gift Card/Candy Holder Cards for you!


Can you tell I just LOVE this paper! It is in the Main Catalog and until I began working with it, well actually playing with it, I had no idea how much fun it is! This is a "must have" package to get! 

I call this one the "bathrobe" card because...


..... it opens up!! I used a "Belly Band" to close it and the inside has a little pocket for your gift card and candy. I should have decorated the pocket a bit. The "Belly Band" is just sitting next to it for the photo.

I whipped up this "Pocket Card" as I will call it rather quickly. I used our Two Tags die to make the insert and tied it with Cherry Cobbler Seam Tape Binding. I stamped it with our stamp called Four the Holidays. As you can see, very little stamping has been done on any of these card holders.  I cut the little opening with our 13/8' punch and then used our Large Scallop Circle Die with our Glimmering Silver Paper.  I punched circles out of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock and a bit of the Letters to Santa DSP. Very easy to make. I made up the dimensions myself for this. 

So what do you think? I love hearing your opinions so thank you for playing along! Are you liking these? If I made up a Tutorial of all the holders,  you be interested in purchasing it for under $10? 


Stay tuned for tomorrow, I will be showing the final card ( but I can't stop making more!) and have you vote on your favorite one!!


To purchase these or any supplies, hop on over to my Online Store HERE- you can do this at the convenience of your home in your PJ's!

As you can see, I am having a blast making Gift Cards/Candy Cards with our Stampin' Up Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper! I just love making these cards that pop open. It makes it such a fun surprise!  


I absolutely love making "Belly Bands" I used our Big Spice Cake button for this, added our Baker's Twine and a little Jingle Bell




This is the card fully open. I used our Scallop Envelope Die to make the little pocket for the gift card. 

Put your Gift Card or Money/Check in and close it back up by slipping the band over the card.

Stampin' Up Letters to Santa #3 Candy/Gift Card holder~ Petite Pocket Die

Hi friends,
I am having so much fun making these gift cards with our Stampin' Up! Letters to Santa Designer Paper pack.


This is the 2nd one I made up for her but the 3rd one I am showing.  I am trying to design something for a customer but am waiting to hear back as to which one she likes. She is trying to find something to make for 20 of her co-workers. In the meantime, I am having a blast coming up with Gift Card ideas!




These are easy peasy! I bought our Petite Pocket die just to show her how cute this is.  I used Cherry Cobbler Card Stock and then covered it with Letters to Santa Designer Paper. I added Cherry Cobbler Quilted Ribbon. Stamped a to and from and used our Postage Punch and added it to the ribbon with a bit of Cherry Cobbler Twine and a Jingle Bell.


These would be so easy to whip out in just a few minutes.


Stay tuned this week for more Gift Card/Candy Holder ideas.
I will be taking a Poll to see which one is your favorite. I already have my favorite.
I also will be selling my first Tutorial- Snowmanlover's Candy/Gift Card Holders at the end of the week.

Wow, I got a card!!



I got mail! Yesterday I went to my mailbox and got this darling card from my customer/friend, Lorrie. Isn't it darling! And guess what? She used all of our MDS- My Digital Studio Downloads and printed everything out on her computer!  To make it a hybrid card, she added the 1 1/4" striped ribbon and popped the scaredy cat ( digital image) on the scallop punched out black card stock. She punched the Digtal words- Scaredy Cat and used the Decorative Label Punch. Very cute. I love digi mixed with actual paper and popped=Hybrid.
Thank you, Lorrie for the darling Halloween card. I appreciate it!

Hi friends, 
Sorry I have not been posting on my blog much lately. I have been going through a very difficult time and have just been out of the loop with things the past few weeks so excuse me from not posting here or on your blogs.


Today I made the kids an after school surprise.  Some Pumpkin cookies with our cute little Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps!  Aren't they cute! They come with the wooden handle and 3 interchangeable presses and 2 recipes. I made some by scratch a few weeks ago but these are just slice and bake cookies! Easy Peasy!



To order your Cookie Stamps click HERE! Item #125152


You get 3 Shapes:  Pumpkin, Snowflake, and Heart for just  $16.95

Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps are a brand-new product that will appeal to crafters and non-crafters, alike--not to mention kids!
The easy-to-use cookie stamp has a solid wood handle with three interchangeable stamp images: a heart, a jack-o-lantern, and a snowflake.
Just make your favorite shortbread cookie dough (or one of the two included recipes) and stamp away! Create beautiful, hand-stamped cookies in a flash. The stamp images are completely food-safe and child-friendly.


Check out Sara, Shellie's daughter and see what she has to say about the cookies!

Stampin' Up Dark and Dreary and Wicked Fun!

I am reposting a post from last year. Now the papers are retired but these stamp sets can still be ordered and you can still use the ideas to make Post it Note Holders.
This was my post:


"How about some Wicked Fun!! Check out these darling Post it Note Holders made out of our  Stampin' Up Wicked Fun Specialty Designer Series Paper! This one uses our Dark and Dreary Stamp Set. I think I will re-do it and use Black Embossing Powder to make that fence really shine!
Pumpkin Pie 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon is tied around the holder.
It is snapped with Velcro Dots



Here is another one but this one is a little Purse! The handle is made out of our really cool Raven 1/2" Lace trim. Love it!!






Wicked Cool Stamp Set is used for the Spooky and the Scallop Oval Punch.
I threw in a few creepy bats from our Bitty Bat Punch. Ugh, hate bats!"

..................................................................................................................................................................
I still love these stamp sets and they can still be ordered this year even though the paper and bat punch have retired.
