12 Days of Christmas- Day 3

I love gift cards. I love getting them, I love giving them. One of the best Christmas gifts I gave my husband was a year of dates. I got a cheap little dollar store calendar, and filled it with gift cards for every month- dinner and an activity. It was tons of fun, and we tried all kinds of new places.

I know some people don't like giving gift cards, but for me- it's a double gift- the thoughtfulness of someone, plus a shopping trip!

These super cute gift cards are quick and easy to whip up, and you can get four from a single sheet of 8.5x11 cardstock.

Supplies:
Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and punch
Lovely as a Tree stamp set
Candy Cane Lane DSP
Tin of tags stamp set
Stampin' Up markers

Cut cardstock at 2.75 x 11. Score at 4 inches and 8 inches.
Run tape down the two sides of the longer scored piece and tape closed.
Cut DSP for the front (two pieces cut to 2.5x3.75), and adhere.
Stamp and punch images for the front, and add the sentiment of your choice.

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy christmas gift idea!

Happy crafting!

12 Crafts of Christmas day 10- twist and close box

Image
 Today's project is a fun twist (ha!) on a gift box. While it looks challenging, it's really quite simple to put together, and all you need is cardstock, patterned paper, adhesive, a ruler and stylus or scoring tool. Trim 1/2 inch from your cardstock so you're left with an 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 piece. Score on the long edge at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, and 10 inches. Score the short side at 2 1/2 inches, flip, and score the other side at 2 1/2 inches.  Mark one side as shown 1 1/4 inches from each score line, and score from the mark to the bottom corner. Fold and burnish to crease.  Cut the bottom of the box as shown to the bottom score line. Discard the small tab at the bottom.  Cut your patterned paper to 4 3/4 x 2 1/4. Run adhesive along the side and connect the two edges. Apply adhesive on the bottom edges and seal the box. Working from one side, pinch the top closed, and your box is done!  Check out the video here. Check out all of our projects as the 12 days continue here...
