Cool Dudes Gift Card

This is a gift card that I made using the Cool Dudes Stampin' Up! stamp set. Same concept as yesterdays Season of Joy Gift Card. I think I like this one the best. I added a snowflake and Night of Navy Grossgrain ribbon. Notice anything else? Well instead of scanning the card, I took a picture of it, I think it looks okay. Its always so hard to get the photo to turn out so that you can see the detail.

Thanks for stopping by, stay warm. Temps are suppose to get real cold here, below zero! Brrrr.

Christmas Gift Card Holders

I just got done making some Christmas gift cards. They are really pretty easy to make and such a simple conscept! The white part of the card is just an envelope folded in half. Cut the flap at the fold, seal the left side of the envelope and cut off the top flap. As you can see from the second card, that is where your gift card goes.

How do you like my new header?! This is what the woods looks like next to our house! Typical Wisconsin Winter scenery! Almost matches my latest card I think, what do you think?

I also want to take this time to thank you all for wonderful comments that I have received on other cards that I have posted, it means so much to me.

Cool Dudes Shaker Card

Here is my variation of the Shaker card technique. I am also finding that I am not doing as many whole card layers. With postage, it just makes sense to make simple cards.

Recipe: (All Stampin' Up!)
Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red
Stamps: Cool Dudes, Punch Pals
Accessories: Fake Snow, Red/white Stripped Ribbon

Punchy Seasons Greetings!

This card is a simple variation of the "Shaker" card. At a recent stamp-a-stack, my upline, Kelly, taught us how to make this card. Isn't it cute?!

We used fake snow in the "shaker" part, it takes a bit more time to make this card, but its so worth it! Again the Top Note Die was used, BUT this time you cut it in half.

Cardstock: Baha Breeze, Whisper White

Happy Holidays!

This card uses the Top Note die, and the Photo Window Punch! I never thought that I would use the Top Note die as much as I do, which you will see the rest of this week!
