Today we're creating a cute card for the 12 Weeks of Christmas Week 9 (Part 2) Hang an Ornament Card. Tuesday we designed a quick & easy gift card holder...if you missed it check it out here click for Tuesday's card.

This week we're using the Hang an Ornament Bundle...

Here's today's card

and a closer look...

We're now creating our projects with limited time in mind. Today's card has a quick white base overlayed with a white layer embossed with Dashing Designs embossing folder.

A plain white strip covers the front on which we stamped out greeting (from Peaceful Greetings).

The ornament is stamped in Spruce ink and die cut; the sparkly trim across the middle is die cut from Shy Shamrock Glimmer paper (2024-26 In Color Glimmer) and topped off with a small bow from the Cherry Cobbler & gold satin ribbon.

Quick, easy and very sweet!

Stop back by next week to see which product we're creating with then!

Today we're exploring 12 Weeks of Chrismas Week 9 (Part 1) Using Hang an Ornament Bundle. We're creating the quickest gift card holder you can imagine. We're nearing the time when time is of the essence and we're targeting "super look" with minimal effort!

Here's the Hang an Ormament Bundle

here's our gift card holder...

and with the pullout

Isn't that awesome! Yes, we take an envelope, seal it, punch a half circle in one end...cover the front with a lovely designer series paper and decorate it with an ornament! The greeting in this set is just perfect for a gift card holder--Just for you!

The inside pull up is half a sheet of cardstock, scored in the middle, punch a hole in the top of one side and loop through the "pull up" ribbon--in our case we matched the ribbon that wraps the card and ties in a bow on the front.

Note: I used to cut down the cardstock inside to about 4 X 11 (scoring at 5 1/2)...but I found using the whole half sheet actually made the withdrawal much more smooth.

Quick,  easy, adorable!

We're completing the 12 Weeks of Christmas Week #8 (Part 2) Creating a Gift Tag with Sweetest Star. On Tuesday we made a really cute kids card using this set...if you misssed it check it out here click here for Tuesday's card.

This is the bundle we're using this week....

& this is today's gift tag...

This is the book style gift tag that has a hinge built in on the left side--it's a super simple technique that fast and easy. You cut double width of cardstock, score in the center and fold into a card shape (or book style)..then simply puch out the stamped image leaving the fold within the punched image....see below

You can see how the fold comes within the punched image above leaving the small scored section to act as your tag hinge.

Then simply stamp & color your image. Add a small punched hole in the back section of the tag and loop through some Red & White Baker's twine to tie onto the gift. Super easy and fun!

Stop back by next week to see which product we're creating with then!

We're beginning the 12 Weeks of Christmas Week #8 (Part 1) Creatng a Card with Sweetest Star. The Sweetest Star bundle contains a cute "cookie" set of stamps with the corresponding punch!

& here's our card for today...

In keeping with simple elements we start with a red card base layered with a Lemon Lime Twist to coordinate with the crisscross designer paper color (Take a Bow DSP).

The Christmas tree is 3 layers using the Merriest Tree dies (what will I do without this awesome set of dies whe it retires!)--Garden Green, Granny Apple Green and topped with White Glimmer paper.

The Santa is stamped and die cut---then colored with our Blends---quick & easy ---then punched out and attached with dimensionals.

The greeting in the stamp set is stamped in Real Red on White CS and die cut with the 2" Stylish circle. We underlined "bright" with 3 red & white peppermint dots that perfectly  coordiate with the cookie theme.

Today we're creating a handmade gift tag in the 12 Weeks of Chrismas Week 7 (Part 2) Last Creation with Humble Home. Tuesday we embedded the Home in the forest--if you missed it check it out here Tuesday's card.

This is such a sweet bundle that ideas kept popping in my vision...so we're using it one last time today.

This is the bundle

and here's today's gift tag...

This is a bookstyle tag--I've always love this style that opens like a book to write your message inside. For this tag all the complexity is in the image itself---for this reason we can keep the actual tag quite simple--still looks like a million dollars but is a quick and easy creation.

You can simply stamp a gazillion on white cardstock--color them while watching your favorite TV show (or in my case listening to a reocorded book--that way I don't miss any of the action in the picture LOL).   Then cut your cardstock, fold in half, punch a  hole and thread through your twine or ribbon.

We did add the 'Merry Christmas'  stamped in red on a small piece of white cardstock since we overlayed the tag front with the Dashing Design embossed layer for some added interest.

And we topped it all off with 3 of those darling little peppermint dots that just must be used with a gingerbread house!

Stop back by next week to see a new creation!
