Gift holder

I bought a few gift certificates this year & they wouldn't fit inside a card, so I came up with these cute little holders last night.  Hope the recipients like them!

I hope you have a merry Christmas with friends & family!  When you are ready to start stampin', let me know!

Come to Bethlehem & see

Come to Bethlehem & see Him whose birth the angels sing...  Every time I say the name of this stamp set, I start to sing (thankfully no one hears me most of the time!)  I don't think you need much on this card, the image is captivating & the rhinestone on the star catches your eye.  Going for simple on this one (& quick to make!)

Supplies: 

Stamp Set: Come to Bethlehem
Ink: Night of Navy
Paper: Night of Navy, Whisper White
Other: rhinestones

Have a fantastic day & when you are ready to start stampin, just let me know!

Gift card holder

A friend of mine asked if I could make some gift card holders for Christmas.  So I searched for ideas from my fellow demonstrators & fell in love with the one Julie Davidson made.  You can see hers by clicking here.  I followed her sample pretty closely, only changing the sentiments & the style of ribbon - based on what I had.  Hope you like it!

Ready to gift!
