Homemade House

I'm so amazed by how easy it was to make this house using the Timeless Template Homemade and matching stamp set.

I made this as a hostess thank-you gift for whomever hosted Christmas this year. All the windows and doors were stamped and cut out.

This is actually a very simple-looking house. I've seen people add grass, fences, lights, even furniture to the house. I opted to keep it simple since this was my first try.

I used the sentiment from Mega Mixed Messages and outlined it with the dotted rectangle from Borders and Corners: Rectangle. I liked the added bling.

I love how the top just comes off so you can fill it with goodies. Here's a picture of the inside...

Here are the contents.

I made the smaller version of the Around Town Tote and filled it with a few Starbucks Via packets.

I also made the small version the It's On The House template and decorated it using the Sign Language stamp.

It's really cute, but tiny. It doesn't hold that much. Fortunately, I have a bunch of these Italian mints called Puntini. They are really delicious and small. I can fit quite a few in this box.

I had a lot of fun doing this project. I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Christmas Card

I had a few scraps lying around so I started playing around with my Vintage Ornaments set.  This is what I came up with.

I used the Background Basics: Diamonds with Versamark ink to make the brown pattern. I really like that set. I also embossed the design on the ornament. I used a glitter gold which is probably why there are so many dots.

This is it!

Okay, this is the last of my gift card holders post!  I'm so glad to be done with these. They were a lot of fun to make, but I'm ready to do something different. This one is made using the coffee stamp set from There She Goes. I forgot the name of the set. I love how it looks like a Starbucks cup and holds a Starbucks card inside.

Here's what it looks like when the band is removed.

This is my attempt to make the stocking gift card holder that was featured on Splitcoast Stampers. I used an SEI kit that I received recently. It's not really my style, but it'll work.

Come back soon!

Seasons Greetings

Yes, it's another gift card holder. This one is also made with the Peaceful Pointsettias stamp set.  More non-traditional colors with Enchanted Evening and Ripe Avocado.

I embossed the main image. It really makes it stand out.  More tiny pearls in for the flower centers.

Hope you're not getting tired of these holders yet, because I'm not done!

Pretty Pointsettia

I have a lot of these cards to make. Each one will be holding a Starbucks gift card.  I love making cards that use non-traditional colors.

The image is from Peaceful Pointsettias. I added more teeny tiny pearls in the middle of the flower.

Thanks for stopping by!

More Gift Card Holders

I made these gift card holders for some of my relatives. They always come to my children's birthday parties and give them nice gifts. So, during Christmas, I try to give them something as a "thank you" for being so generous to my kids.

Here's a close-up of each card. This one showcases the cute gingerbread man from Holiday Button Bits.

Here's what the gift card holder looks like when the band it removed. The middle panel holds the gift card in place.

This one uses one of the beautiful ornament from Vintage Ornaments. I should have taken a close-up picture of the teeny tiny pearls on the ornament.

Enjoy!

Timless Template: Cash or Charge

This is one of my favorite Timeless Templates. It's one of the Cash or Charge Collection. It's so easy to put together and is such a great way to present a gift card.

Here's a picture of the inside. This template really holds the card securely. I added a small piece to the bottom of the case to make sure I don't lose the card. My kids still have to write their note to their teacher. Once they do so on a white piece of paper, I'm going to tape it to the inside cover.
