Gift Cards & Box Set

So this was going to be my January Stampin Up project, but I want to try and make a project a month and need to be a month ahead, so I am posting this one now and will hopefully be able to create a new project to launch in the January Newsletter which will be for Valentines day. Are you still with me! lol

This was made using a combination of stamping, scanning (with the ScanNCut) of course and just plain old scoring and folding card.

Hope you like it.

Gift Card Holder

So Ive had a little play today and made these gift card holders, Ive used some Stampin Up products and the ScanNCut.

I have listed the items used and the product numbers, you can find the link to my shop Here

Just type the product code into the search box in my shop and it will take you directly to the product.

As as hobby demonstrator any sales I can get may help me meet my quarterly target, which will enable me to buy more products and make more video project tutorials. Thank you.

Simple Gift Wrapping Ideas

I am not really into themed christmas trees, I prefer my tree to be more traditional looking, so it has a variety of baubles some bought, some that have been gifts and some handmade by my daughter, but I do like nice wrapping paper, this year I have decided I will experiment and I am using brown paper, jute string and doilies, (as the words of the song say “brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favourite things”. Sorry if you are now all bursting into Julie Andrews mode and being taken back to the world of Sound of Music!

So presents wrapped in brown paper, tied with jute string, then embellished with the recipients initials cut in red card using the ScanNCut some brown bags and small gifts have red doilies and the bigger ones have a handmade hessian/burlap bow.

What do you think, I think they look quite nice.

If you want to know how i did the bows read on.

You will need:-

Hot glue gun

Stapler
