Seasonal Gift Card Bags

When we think gift card holders, we often think of flat envelopes like I have shared before.  Did you know that you can make a great gift card holder out of a treat bag using the Treat Bag Maker?  If you use the small measurements on a 10 x 5 1/2 strip of paper, it will fit a gift card inside before you tie it up.  Cute and functional! This project was designed for our Christmas is October camps by Cris McCarthy (my mom and fellow demonstrator!)

Punch two banners of red and Holiday Fancy Foil Vellum using the Triple Punch.  You staple those banners to the front of the bag.  Then you stamp the saying from the Oh, What Fun stamp set using Cucumber Crush ink and punch it out with the decorative label.  That is mounted on a 1 1/2 circle of Real Red and layered on the bag using dimensionals.  Tie it closed with a piece of our 1/8 Striped Rea Red ribbon from the holiday catalog and you have a cute bag that was fun to make and fun to give!

 

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Cucumber Crush (10 x 5 1/2), Whisper White (4 1/4 x 2), Real Red (3 3/4 x 2, scrap), Holiday Fancy Foil Designer Vellum (3 1/2 x 1 1/2)
• Ink: Cucumber Crush
• Stamps:  Oh, What Fun

Christmas Stamp a Stack - Santa

So between school starting and trying to get out in front of all my classes coming up, I realize I've been neglecting my blog.  Sorry about that.  The next few days I'll be posting my Christmas Stamp a Stack options while I wait for our next Paper Pumpkin kit to arrive!

What is a Stamp a Stack, you ask?  Well, I'll tell you.  You pick the card you want to make and I cut all the pieces (unless otherwise noted).  I put them together in a bag and you come to my house to stamp them all.  Then you assemble one and either take the rest home to complete or complete them here.  The cost does not include adhesives so you provide the adhesive and dimensionals to assemble the cards.

For this card, the cost is $20 for 10 cards with envelopes.  You can order as many sets as you'd like but they have to be in increments of 10.  It features the Home for Christmas DSP and Very Vanilla Striped Ribbon from the holiday catalog.  You fussy cut these Santas after you stamp the cards which is actually quite fast. The stamp set on the final card differs.  We will use the small expression from Cozy Christmas instead. 

This card was inspired by the make-n-take tag we did at Convention this year!  I hope you have as much fun making it as we did both times.  :)

If you are interested in making this card, please leave me a comment to arrange payment and a time to stamp the cards.  You have until 9/30 to select your kits!

Have a craftastic day,
Stacy
