Sleigh Full of Cheer, Pop-Up Gift Card Holder

Good morning friends

***NOTE:  I will be moving my blog to Painted Mountain Cards in the New Year.  I will leave this blog open, as there are frequent hits from Pinterest and over 5 years worth of cards etc to reference.


Todays share is another Christmas Gift Card Holder I made using Karen Burniston's Sleigh Gift Card Holder.

The large white scallops have been in my stash for years - they were Cricut pieces that weren't needed for whatever project I was working on at the time. They make me want to dig out my Cricut and cut some more!

Inside, you can see the striped Hudson's Bay Gift Card tucked into the slots that cut with the Pop it Ups die.

Finally, a side view so you can see the pop-up a little better.

Card for Dynamic Duo's #38

I have a card to share today, using the colour challenge at Dynamic Duo's:

Red and Pink ... perfect colours for Valentine's day. So I made a Valentine!

The hearts were all Cricut cut from pink, with their shadows cut from red card stock.  I had them cut out from last Valentine's Day so unfortunately don't remember which cartridge. But this card has me wanting to use my Cricut more - it has been sadly underused the past 8 months.

The white scallop border was also Cricut cut ... this time I remember using the Plantain Schoolbook cartridge. Words by Verve.

Special Girl Christmas Card

This K&Co 3-d Sticker was so sweet and I thought it would be perfect to make a Christmas card for our Granddaughter. The card is for my parents to give her (it's hard for them to get out and shop for cards).

The polka dots on the red paper are actually glitter, so that adds some fun texture to the card. I used a 'Bow Easy' to tie the little bow. I'm pretty sure I Cricut cut the green scalloped border using the Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge.

I penned the inside with a black extra fine marker, and outlined some of the words with coloured markers.

Bird Birthday Card

One of my long-time pen pals is celebrating a birthday this week, and today's post is the card I sent off to her.

A long time ago, I found these pretty cards on clearance at Michaels. They are by K&Co - and are patterned tri-fold cards - 5x7" with lovely cream envelopes. There were 5 different patterns in the package, and this was one of them:

I had these sweet stitched felt stickers (by Martha Stewart)  from when I decorated a bedroom lamp for our grandbaby, and since my friend loves birds - the bird sticker was perfect.

The felt border stickers are also by MS ... the paisley paper is by K&Co and matches the cards very nicely.

The first picture is of the card closed.

Here is the card with the front open! I used my Cricut to cut the scallops from the same patterned paper that is on the front of the card. The card is double sided, with the gingham being the flip side of the harlequin.  

The label punch is by Stampin' Up, and the words are by Verve.

Finally, here is the inside!

After hoarding these cards for years, it was fun to break them out and USE them!

Halloween Banner

 

This is what I sent to Sue for our October first mailing ... a banner made with the Tim Holtz tag die. I cut three tags for each piece. One out of patterned paper for the front, and one from black for the back while the middle piece is chipboard to give it substance.

I used a paper stack by Recollections, with lots of fun patterns and glitter sheets as well as some 3-d embellishments by K&Co.  I also used the Tim Holtz rosette die, and cut the "BOO" letters/shadows with my Cricut and the 'Plantin Schoolbook' cartridge. 

 

 

The pieces on either side of the "BOO" were cut from a sheet of patterned paper in the stack and popped up with foam tape. I also used a couple of Stampin' Up punches to create the hangers. While I really could have gone 'all out' on this, with lots of danglies ... I kept this first one nice and simple.
