We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - Season of Giving

Welcome and thank you for "buzzing" over to my post today!  Our theme this month is Season of Giving, which is appropriate for December and gift giving to loved ones and friends.  My post will show the two ways I gift money and gift cards for Christmas.  But these two options aren't just for Christmas - think birthdays, weddings or any occasion, just by changing out the greeting and Designer Series Paper.

This cute and easy gift card holder was made using the Trucking Along stamp set.  This stamp has a coordinating punch for the truck, but I opted not to use the punch and did some fussy cutting with my paper snips.  

My greeting was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White Cardstock and cut out using the Deckled Rectangle dies.  This panel was attached to a Pretty Peacock Cardstock panel, also cut out with a Deckled Rectangle die.

When you open the card, there's a place for a gift card with plenty of room for a hand written greeting and it all fits into a standard A2 envelope.

I also gift money and instead of putting it inside a card, make a money holder. This holder also holds a candy bar and/or small pieces of chocolate.

The greeting is from the Throughtout the Years stamp set from the current Mini Catalog.  This stamp set feeatures Halloween, Christmas, Valentine, Easter, Birthday and all-around greetings and will move to the Online Exclusive seletion - YAY!  The cute little tag die cut is from the Tricks & Treats dies and the greeting is from the So Sincere stamp set.

This is what will greet your recipient when they untie the bow-

If you would like to know how to make the gift card holder or gift box money holeer, please leave me a comment.  If there's enought interest, I would be happy to make a video on either or both of these gifting options.

I CASE'D this Halloween Treat project from another demonstrator, Kelly McConkey at Inky Hands and Warm Heart.  I loved her project and knew this would be perfect for my adult children.  I really didn't know their "beverage" of choice, but I'm sure they'll figure out somehting.

I used the Tricks & Treats dies to cut out the ghosts and the word BOO.  I added some googly eyes to the ghosts for some extra fun.  I changed the color of the Black & Very Vanilla ribbon with a Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Marker.  Yelp, you can add color to ribbon using our Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.  

I hope you have a Spooky Safe Halloween!

This card is so stinkin' cut and simple!  I let the Fancy Floral Designer Series Paper do the heavy lifting for this card.

For the card on the left, I applied the Designer Series Paper with dimensionals.  For the card on the right, the Designer Series Paper was attached without dimensionals. The card base and greeting are both Starry Sky, one of the new In-Colors.

My video sample uses Soft Succulent for the card base and the greeting is stamped with Evening Evergreen.  These two In-Colors will be retiring soon.  Watch the video to see how easy it is to make this card.

Measurements-

4-1/4 x 11 Soft Succulent CS

3-1/2 x 5 Basic White

4 x 5-1/4 Basic White (Inside)

1 x 3 Fancy Floral DSP x4

Cut the DSP in order or mix-up design

We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop - Stamped Christmas Gifts

Thank you for hopping over to my post featuring Stamped Christmas Gifts. I have some goodies that would be perfect as stocking stuffers or co-worker gifts.  I participated in two holiday craft shows this year.  I always feature my hand-crafted cards at craft shows, and this year I included Pepperidge Farms Milano Cookies, Reese's and Hershey Candy Bars, Hershey Nuggets and Bath & Body Works hand sanitizers.  I pulled out my stamps, cardstock, Designer Series Paper, Ribbon and got busy making cute and festive holders for these items.

These sweet treats would be a great holiday surprise for a co-worker.  You can't go wrong with chocolate!

With COVID still lingering in our lives, keeping your hands germ free is a must.  I made these cute holders that contain a pocket size hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works.

Thank you for "buzzing" by today.  Please leave a comment before you "buzz" on to view all the beautiful Stamp Christmas Gifts created by my We BEE Stamping TEAM members.
