Card holders

January 3, 2009 By Connie | 4 Comments

I wanted to show you a couple card holders I made for Christmas gifts this year.  Two were for the boys’ girlfriends and the last one for my mother-in-law.  Inside I made 8 cards with stamped envelopes to match.  They were a big hit with everyone, but I didn’t get them done until the day before Christmas Eve!  Way too late for me! 

As you can see, I used some of my retired papers for a couple of them…I knew Allie and Carol liked pinks and yellows.  I still like the Spring Flowers paper we sold a couple years ago!  The other one uses Urban Garden because I knew Beth liked blue colors.  Note:  I thought it was funny when I was making them that their names spelled out A, B, C!  Just easily amused, I guess! 

 The monograms were stamped with Lovely Letters (LOVE that set!) and punched with the scallop square, then layered several times with the colors in the papers. 

The box is held closed with a velcro dot.  The ribbon on the top is just for decoration.  I told the girls to keep their boxes and I will refill them when they need more.  My mother-in-law let me know at Christmas that she also needs sympathy cards and birthday cards…guess what she’ll get for her birthday in February!

 

Well, I’m going to take down the tree today.  It feels like we JUST put it up!  I can’t believe the holiday season is over already.  But, I know that if it doesn’t come down this weekend, it will be TWO weeks from now before I can get to it since I’ll be at Leadership next week!  Woohoo!  I’m excited to go and see the new catalog.

Have a great weekend!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    What an amazing gift! How long does each take you to create? I’m asking because it seems like such a great idea for my son’s teacher gifts. Truly lovely project!
