Christmas Napkin Fold gift card holders


I have been working hard to get these Napkin Folding cards done for a couple of colleagues at work. I made 10 in total. At the end of the photos, I will also add my youtube video on how to make them. I got the idea from splitcoaststampers and made a video tutorial on how I made mine. They are very easy to make and are perfect if you want to tuck gift cards behind the stamped images or sentiments. 

Enjoy and thanks for looking!

The paper pack used for this card is from Close To My Heart's Believe paper from the Autumn/Winter 2011 idea book. The ribbon is from my stash.


 





Paper used for the following card is from Close To My Heart called Jingle.







Paper used for this card is from Close To My Heart and is called Evensong.







Paper used for this card is Close To My Heart Creative Basics Jingle paper.








 This paper for the next two cards are from Basic Grey called Eskimo Kisses and the stamp is from Magnolia Stamps.











































Thanks again for looking and watch the youtube video below to learn how to make your own. You have to try it!

Nature's Gift meets Wonderland!


I made these cards for my customers who ordered Close To My Heart's products from me in November. I used the stamp set called "nature's gift", wonderland paper, and the "wonderful you" overlay from the Icing overlays embellishments which coordinate with it. This is one of my favourite paperbacks from the Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Book. I have made several projects with it. I am hoping to finish a video tutorial on using the wonderland paper and coordinating product to make a mini album which folds into our new card boxes. Be sure to check back as you will not want to miss it and see how easy you can make one.

You can purchase these products on my website here!

Thanks for looking and enjoy!

Evensong Christmas easel cards


I made this easel card for a colleague at work who wanted to give her parents a card from her son and daughter. Of course the magnolia images are perfect for that! I used Close To My Heart's retired paper called "evensong" which I really liked and I am glad I pulled it out of my stash that I have had for a while. The sentiment is a stamp set called "Christmas Love" from Close To My Heart 

Thanks for looking and enjoy!

Evensong Christmas easel cards

I hosted my first scrapbook weekend in Canmore last weekend and actually managed to get some work done! I made these special order cards for a colleague at work. She has two relatives who are born on Christmas day so she likes to order "happy birthday" Christmas cards as she can never find them in the stores. She also picked traditional Christmas colors so I pulled out my Close To My Heart Evensong paperpack to make all these cards and coordinating ribbon/embellishments. The paper flowers are from my local craft store and Wild Orchid Crafts.

The first two cards are made with Magnolia stamps from the 2011 Sweet Christmas collection. The houses and Holly arrangement are from Stamping Bella. The final card (which totally reminds me of Holly Hobby from the 70's) is a Sarah Kay stamp.
