Gift bag topper/Mini Catalog

Welcome to my blog. Merry Christmas everyone! This will probably be my last post till after Christmas. Tomorrow I take my granddaughter to the airport tomorrow and my sister is coming on the same day. This is a very busy time of year!
Today I’m going to share a quick way to top gift bags.

Materials and Directions:
1. I used a 6x6 piece of Wrapped in Plaid is. I cut this to 5x6.

2. I then folded in half. With the label punch I punched a small section on the top to fit the handles.

3. Load your bag and put the topper on.
For other size bags I’ve used a 12x12 cut 12x6 . You’ll need to measure your bag.

Feels Like Frost Card/Gift Card Holder

Welcome to my blog. This next gift card holder is also a card. It can be used for any occasion.

Materials and Directions:
1. For the card base I used Mossy Meadow cardstock. You can get 2 out of 1 piece of 8-1/2 x 11 inch piece of cardstock. Cut and score as shown in photo.

Fold on score lines. On the short side I made a notch with the 3/4 inch circle punch. Glue the 2 sides together as in photo. I used the liquid glue because it’s stronger.

2. Cut the Feels Like Frost  DSP and Whisper White cardstock as in the photo. Glue the DSP to the front and Whisper White inside.

3. I used a label punch and stamped the sentiment (from Paper Pumpkin). I then glued on one side.
You can use a sentiment you have. I have not stamped anything on the inside because I may use it for a winter birthday. You can use a sentiment that you want.
You can order the materials I used on my website. For orders less than 150$ use the Host Code GYFHGUXK.

Socking stuffer mini note book/ Mini catalog and Sale-A-Bration

Welcome to my blog. Altered mini note books were another item that did well at craft fairs. These I also got at the a Dollar Store. They come 3 to a package. I used DSP from the Holiday catalog,Toile Tidings DSP, Feels like a Frost DSP and Let it Snow DSP. When measuring be mindful that the width can be different . I don’t cover the black binding. Measure from the edge of the binding out. The height stays the same. After cutting the pieces glue to front and back.

Stocking Stuffer Mini Wallet writing tablet using Let in Snow DSP

Welcome to my blog. Can’t believe it’s December already! I’m going to start a series on stocking stuffers. This first one is a Mini Wallet Writing Tablet. This was very popular at my craft fairs. The writing tablets I got at Dollar Tree. They come in a package of 5. Pull them apart keeping the backing. To ones without card stock you need to add on on the back.
Here’s how to cut the DSP:

Then put the tablet on the paper as in the picture. Crease edges before gluing pad. When you’ve finished glue tablet.

Last glue the tree on the front on the belly band.

On Line Extravaganza /Paper Pumpkin Alternative

Welcome to my blog. Tomorrow is the last day for Stampin Up Online Extravaganza. Remember you save 15% on select items. See my last blog for details.
I decided to make some alternatives to the October Paper Pumpkin. I wanted to make some cards that are easier to mail. Here’s what I came up with:

Materials and Directions:
1. Card base- Night of Navy cardstock 8-1/2 x 5-1/2. fold to make card 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
2. Layering piece. I used a piece from Feels Like Frost DSP cut 4 x 5-1/4. Glue to card front. Then with the largest nesting die cut out the front piece. Be sure to open the card base and lay flat to put the die on top of the layering piece then cut it out.
3. I then took the paper pumpkin card and cut the front 4 x 5-1/4. I stamped the sentiment from paper pumpkin and the snow flakes . I then used the images from the Snow Front stamp set .  For the cabin I stamped off once before stamping. I then glued this to the inside. I then took the trees from the paper pumpkin kit. I cut one side of the trees off then glued to the inside of the car. Last I added the cardinal.
With the leftover from this card I made this card.
