Santa's List Gift Card Holder

Christmas time is quickly approaching.  Knowing how hard it is to shop for some of the loved ones on your list, I know you probably give out gift cards.  I know I give them out.  The nephews are so hard to buy for.  I never know what to get them.  This is a great way to dress up the gift cards you give.  I just love the Santa's List stamp.

1. I started with a piece of 4 1/2 x 11 inch Read Red Cardstock.
2. I punched one inch in from the side with the Envelope Punch Board, turned the paper and punched again. 
3. I stamped the image with Black StazOn and trimmed it down.
4. I then matted with Wild Wasabi Cardstock. 
5. I scored the bottom of the cardstock at 1 3/4 inch and used wet glue to seal the sides. 
6. I folded the cardstock over to meet the bottom and creased it with my bone folder.
7. I attached a 1/2 inch strip of Season of Style DSP to the bottom.
8. I attached the image to the top.
9. I measured the inside of my card and cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to stamp my sentiment on.
10. I stamped and attached the sentiment to the inside of the card. 

The oval stamp is from a retired stamp set.

Christmas Memo Pad

While at Staples this weekend, I found these cut little mini legal pads.  I remembered seeing a video of someone covering them to make cute teacher gifts.  I decided to give it a try.

 I gathered up my supplies.  I used Baked Brown Sugar, Cherry Cobbler, and Gumball Green Ink.  The papers are Gumball Green, Whisper White, and Seasons of Style DSP Stack.  I used the Holiday Ornament Framelits and Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set with my Big Shot.  Some Whisper White Bakers Twine, Snail Adhesive, Mini Glue Dots and Stampin' Dimensionals rounded it out.

 I cut my papers to size, 3 1/2 inches wide.  The Gumball Green I left at 11 inches.  The Seasons of Style, I trimmed to 2 inches long.  (I ended up cutting some of the Gumball Green from the bottom of the back.)

 I lined up the Gumball Green and adhered it to the font page of the mini legal pad and wrapped it all the way around the back.

 I stamped the smaller ornaments and cut them out with the big shot and framelits.

 I tied small bows with the bakers twine and used mini glue dots to attach them.  I cut some bakers twine to attach to the backs of the ornaments and attached them with glue dots.  Then I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the backs.

 I ran a line of Snail adhesive across the top of the pad to attach the strings to hold them in place.

 I adhered the Seasons of Style DSPS piece to the top and wrapped it around to the back.

 I thought it needed something else so I pulled out my Christmas Messages Stamp Set and used the Oh What Fun sentiment.

I love the way it turned out.
