Gift enclosures & Gift card hlders

I was asked to make some gift card holders for Jenniffer & Company store and there is what I came up with ... the top ones are smaller crisscross cards with a little note inside to slide a gift card into.  The bottom ones I made last winter with my Cricut.  They are 3 x 3 cards with matching envelopes .... I wish I would have taken a picture of the envelope .... it is so cute ... it has a heart on the back to slide the point of the  envelope into and on the front a layered black and white label to put the person's name one.  These can be put inside a gift or used to hold a gift cards/check.

I will be selling these at the markets and at the store if you are interested.  I have quite a few different types also.  Stop in to see me sometime ... you can see where I will be selling at the top of this page under 'Where to find me'. 

Calorie Free Cupcakes!

 Yes ... that is true!!  These are calorie free so you can have as many as you want!!  I am so loving how these turned out ... they are actually the size of a cupcake or maybe even larger and are made with paper and a bath scrunchie.  These would make a great gift for a friend, especially if she is dieting!  They come with a little note card to write your greeting and you can add a gift card, check or money in the side to make it a larger gift if you want.  I will be taking a dozen of them to Jennifer and Co this week to sell for Valentine's day (some have hearts on the top others have cherries like this ....

I will be teaching these at my class called Cricut Creations on Sunday from 2-4 at the stamping convention Adventures in Stamping the last weekend in April.  And hopefully at my May 18-20 Angelic Impressions Gathering which I will be announcing the details on Feb 1.  I hope to be selling them at my spring and summer shows also since they are really fun to make!  So sign up for a class or meet me at a show if you want one.

I have been doing a lot of design work for convention and my gathering the last week and am pretty pleased so far.  I have been blessed to have such a fun job!

Masculine Gift card holders

Gift card holders are a staple for my markets and I was running low on masuline looking ones.  I am hoping these all will fit that need.  I made three of each design and will probably make more soon.  They are quick and easy to make using my Cricut and Gypsy.  They are all slotted inside to slip a gift card.  Here I show you a few of them at a time so you can see them better.

This is what the inside looks like ... sorry I could not get the slots to show up but they are on the bottom side.

These are really fun and easy to make since I have the base already on my G and cut three at a time.  By the time the first are put together the second set is done cutting.  Mass production at it's best!

Dec Mojo Class ...

... is all about gift card/money/check holders and gift tags.  It is next week and I am needing to know how many will be attending.  Check the calendar for times.

This is one of the gift card holders we will be making.

Inside it has a place for chocolate and money etc. I will be selling these at my show this Saturday in Timmons Elementary in Chagrin Falls from 8:30-3.  I hope to have these and card candy at Jenniffer & Co. next week to sell also.

Also, let me know if you will be attending my Open House on Dec 17 to get last minute paper crafted items for gifts and/or stamping supplies for your friends or yourself (I will not tell)!!

Pocket Christmas card

I have this paper that has the cutest 3" squares of designs on it and I wanted to use it for  something special .... yesterday this idea came to me.  It is a pocket card on the inside with the square design on the front.  I love how they turned out with the rustic look.  Here is a close up of the front ....



which I used a Tim Holtz  border die on for the snowflakes.  And here is the inside .....

which has the bottom pocket to hold money, gift card or check.  I added an inside panel to write your message on. The finished size of the card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2".   I have a few different variations of these in my Etsy store if you would like one and will have them for sale at my craft show on Dec 10th in Chagrin Falls and my Open House on Dec 17th here in my home.  Please RSVP if you are coming to the Open House so I know how many to expect.

Oh .... this (or one of the variations) will be in my Dec Mojo Class which features ways to present money, gift cards and check and gift tags.  These classes are on my calendar so let me know if you are interested in attending.

Popcorn is a Gift

Maybe some of you remember last year I shared with you my snowman popcorn holders that sold so well at my craft shows ..... well here are the new ones I have been selling this year!  These have a microwave popcorn inside for a little gift and a place on the back to put a gift card, money, check or a move ticket would be nice too.

These are cut from my Cricut Expressions and on this one I used glittered paper.

Here is a picture from the back.  I include a little note card for you to sign and leave your greeting also.  If you are liking these I have them on sale in my Etsy store and will show more in the next few days. 

My Stamp-a-Class Christmas classes have been going on this week and I still have one more on Sunday.  If you missed them and would still like to attend one let me know and I will see what we can do.

Valentive Treats

 These are the gift card treats that I made to sell at Jenniffer & Co for Valentine's day.  Inside is a full size Hershey's Chocolate Bar!  I used a 6 x 6" piece of double sided paper, scored one side at 1/2" and folded over for accent for the top edge of the pocket.  Then I attached it to the candy bar and ONLY on the edges on the front so a pocket would be formed.  I then made a little note card to slide into the pocket and decorated it with hearts.

 I stamped three different  words on the fronts for variety.  You could also slip in money, a check or a small flat gift item if you did not want to give a gift card or just use this as the gift and personal message.

 This is a closer look of the card hidden in the pocket.

I made 20 of these for the store so if you want one go check them out!
