Pop UP Gift Card Holder

I am participating in a craft fair for my son's school in December and have been searching Pinterest and racking my brain for different giftables to make as I know not everyone wants to buy cards. I came across this great pattern to a gift card holder!

Watercolor Christmas Messages

The Watercolour Christmas stamp set is a MUST! The sentiments are classic and the font is stunning. As much as I love a good card kit, I think I love the stamp set for the Watercolor Christmas kit MORE than the kit itself!  In addition to amazing holiday cards, the Oh Joy stamp can be used for so many occasions. Make sure you grab yours before it’s gone at the end of December!

Anyone ordering this set before midnight tomorrow night, will receive from me the supplies to make this simple yet stunning card.

Sketch Challenge: Incorporating stripes and a tag on a card front

I am over the moon at how this card turned out! The design is based on a sketch (or layout) challenge. I knew I wanted to use washi tape for the stripes and the Year of Cheer suite as my colour palette. I was playing with scraps when I fed the sentiment banner through the hole punched out of the foil circle... I thought it made for an interesting effect so I went with it!  What do you think?

The tag part of the card will definitely be one of the design choices for my tag class in November! Class details to be posted within the week!

Wishes All Aglow

I have loved this set since the moment I saw it in the catalogue but I was struggling how to showcase this particular stamp without fussy cutting and embossing like is seen in the catalogue.  Thankfully I stumbled across a post by Michelle of Michelle's Craft Corner and this CASE is the end result!

Autumn Themed Note Card

I wanted to highlight the note cards, a stamp set on sale and an entire family of DSP.  What do you think?

Acetate Boxes

Have you seen the acetate card boxes in the holiday catalogue?  You might have missed them but trust me they are worth a 2nd look!

They are only $8.50 and they will easily hold 5 cards with envelopes.  I have even stretched that to 6 but it does depend on how much 'depth' your cards have.

They also hold the test tubes from the holiday catalogue.  So many gift giving ideas!!

As you can see from the photo - you can also emboss one side of them to jazz them up!!!

Monochromatic Challenge

I was challenged to produce a card using a monochromatic colour scheme.  I chose to use Night of Navy, Dapper Denim and Sky Blue.  Additionally, I whipped this card up in 10 minutes flat!  A new record for me for sure!  What do you think?  Does it look like a 10 minute card?
