Gift Card Holder

Hi all! As you know, Christmas is not that far away, so today I have a cute way of packaging all of your gift cards. I found the tutorial from Heather Summers and fell in love with it. It is such an easy and effective way to package all your gift cards.

This holder isn't just for Christmas either, the possibilities are endless for birthdays, weddings, engagements or any occasion you are giving a gift card.

Merry Monday #38

Wow this is my second post for today :) This time I'm sharing a card for this weeks Merry Monday sketch challenge.

Here's my creation:

And the sketch:

I love these little penguins! The images and sentiment are from 'polar party' and I masked them off to stamp the trees in the background. I pulled out my 'jolly holiday' dsp, as I have a ton of this one!!

Any questions just ask & thanks for looking :)

Freshly Made Sketches #57

Hi all! I'm here to share a card I made for this weeks challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

I've have had this image coloured for ages and it's been sitting on my desk, just waiting to be made into a card! The sketch was perfect for this :) I've gone with a brown palette, using soft suede, crumb cake and sahara sand. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Here's the sketch:

Festive Friday #41 - Sketch

Good morning! It's time agin for a Festive Friday. This week Nicole has a great sketch for us to use:

 Here's my take on it:

I'm loving marina mist and bashful blue together for Christmas. I pulled out a new set 'Polar Party' which I fell in love with as soon as I saw it, and coloured the cute polar bear. Now here in Australia we're not really known for our 'white' Christmases, but I love how this card has turned out! The snow flakes are from 'Snow Swirled', stamped in white craft ink and white heat embossed. I then used my chevron embossing folder to add texture to the marina mist strip. I used my scallop edge punch border for the bottom of the strip and glimmer paper for a thin border around the image.

My sentiment is from 'Jolly Jingles' wheel. I bought this knowing I wanted to cut it up and use the sentiments separately. I mounted them onto cling mount foam and I was able to cut out every sentiment, with no waste.

This is a great sketch - dress it up or keep it simple - either way we love to see what you create :) So link up your creation to Nicole's blog and get a start on you Christmas cards!
