Scentsational Season - Day #4

Today is Thankful Thursday and I am so blessed!  And I love to share my blessings with other....to include all my blog friends....

Today's inspiration is based upon gift giving at Christmas!

 
 
Perfect for all your Christmas Gift Card giving....


Start with the large tag from the Two Tags Die and cut tags out of Cherry Cobbler. Cut matching strips of paper from the Be of Good Cheer designer series paper to decorate the front.


Create a sleeve by cutting a piece of Crumb Cake card stock to 6 1/8" x 4". Score it at 2 7/8" and 6 1/4".  Fold and use sticky strip to close.  If you are using a different size tag, then measure the tag and adding 1/8" of an inch to each side.  Then add an extra 1/4" to the end.


Decorate the front.  I used the Scentsational Seasons stamp set.  The sentiments are from the Tags Til Christmas set and More Merry Messages. I used the Postage Stamp punch, 1 1/2" scalloped square punch, the Modern Label punch, the 1" circle and the new 1 1/4" scalloped circle punch.
 

Insert the Gumball Green 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and tie it of with Cherry Cobbler baker's twine.  Insert your gift card.

More than cute....more than quick....more than appreciated!!!

Scentsational Season - Day #3

The days are speeding by...can't believe it's Wednesday already....


At this speed, Christmas is just around the corner...and who has time?  And we all need gift tags...

These were a snap to put together...about 15 minutes total!  I started off with a base of in Real Red and Gumball Green cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits. Then I cut a simple sheet of Whisper White to fit in the center.  I used the Scentsational Seasons stamp set for each decoration.  Colors are Gumball Green, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, and Read Red.  I then cut the shapes out with the Holiday Collection Framelits.  I used Dimensionals to pop them up on one side.  I then used my Crop-A-Dile to punch the hole...and added a it of white ribbon. 

Cute, simple and a real timesaver.

I think the "kids" in the family will love them....

If you like this set, I would recommend you get them before 31 December.  If I can help you with an order, please get in touch with me or order through my on-line Stampin' Up! site. 

Many Blessings - Cathy

Scentsational Season - Day #2

Hope you enjoyed the cards from yesterday.  While I was working on the cards, we received a new phone book and on the front of the phone book was a magnetic advertisement....and the juices started flowing...

So out came the Scentsational Season stamp set and favorite ink pads... and then came the Holiday Collection Framelits....and the magnetic advertisement.....and voila!


The magnets are strong enough to go on the fridge or on a piece of sheet metal...


and the backside shows the magnet....

What a cute gift for someone special....like a teacher!

Isn't this just the cutest!!!!
