Quick Christmas cards in a kit or PDF tutorial

I created these eye catching cards as one of my October kits to go. They’re so fun and easy to make because this is a non-stamping kit!

• Last of the unique ‘Gift Card’ ideas with video!

  December 10, 2021

  I've shared two other special gift card ideas and today I have another.  It's the last one I shared in this video. 

  It features the Penguin Place bundle seen here.   And it's now available but on low inventory; once more.  The punch was out of stock for a long time.

  This penguin is super cute and quite versatile.  Certainly not just for Christmas!

  Details:

  • His main body is punched out of Black glitter paper. 
  • I fussy cut his scarf from Heartwarming Hugs DSP. 
  • I stamped the snowflakes on the Black CS using our White Craft ink.  

  This card opens up like this:

  There's a fold inside that brings up the 'gift card' when you lift up the card front.  I did use Thick White CS for this so it stands up to lots of use. Isn't it fun?  It's quite easy too!

• Extra special Gift Card idea with a pop up ‘gift bag’ inside the card!

  December 9, 2021

  Here's another gift card idea for you.  It looks harder than it is; honestly! It's a 'gift bag' inside the card!

  Here's the front view:  I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday.  I love it when I can use my paper efficiently!

  I kept the front very simple as you can see.  The greetings are from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set seen here.

  I even added 'tissue' using the Ever Eden cotton paper!  It's a 6" piece I folded into points.

  I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out.  Measurements are included.

• Need Gift card ideas? I have three!

  December 9, 2021

  Last week I created 3 different gift card options on Facebook Live.  You can see it here.

  I'm sharing the first one today: 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I used the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper seen here) and the Encircled in Warmth & Christmas Season bundle. 

  It's made from a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper; score it every 4".  Trim off one angle for the pocket and adhere it to a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Inside I added a 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White CS that I textured with the Star-Crossed embossing folder. I decorated the front & inside with stamped & die-cut images from the Christmas Season bundle seen here. 

  Depending on how you decorate this card it can be quite easy to make!  Below is the video for this one & 2 more gift card options.  I'll share details on another tomorrow.
