Gift Card Holders

It's hard to believe that Christmas is only 19 days away and trying to get everything marked off your list can make for a busy time. So, today I'm back on the Graphic 45 blog to share with you a set of three Gift Card Holders featuring the St. Nicholas collection and the ATC Policy Envelopes.  You'll want to head over to the Graphic 45 blog to check out the some more of the photos of my project as well as fellow design team member Magda who has also created a fantastic Christmas project for you.


Using the ATC Policy Envelopes in black I was able to create a fun set of gift cardholders. To decorate the outside of the Policy Envelopes I used leftover pieces from creating a Christmas Card. For the inside piece that holds the gift card, use a piece of black cardstock as well as a piece of patterned paper that coordinates with the outside of the gift cardholder from the St. Nicholas collection.


Tip: To decorate smaller projects, use leftover scraps.


For the inside piece that holds the gift card, mount a piece of patterned paper that 3 1/2" x 2 3/8". Mount the patterned paper piece to a piece of black cardstock that measures 2 1/2" x 3 5/8". Slit the top left and bottom right corner so the gift card has something to slide into.

Wishing You a Joyous Christmas

Today I'm back on the Graphic 45 blog with a vintage Christmas card featuring the St. Nicholas collection as well as a tutorial so you can recreate my card.  You'll want to head over to the Graphic 45 blog to check out the rest of the photos of my project as well as fellow design team member Maggi who has also created a fabulous Christmas project for you.


When I was starting out creating my card, I decided to use the St. Nicholas collection as it was the perfect jumping off point for creating my Christmas Card. By layering in keys from the staple line, fussy cut images from the St. Nicholas collection and ribbon, I was able to create a beautiful layered Christmas card.

Tip:  Add some cream crochet lace trim to the Christmas borders to give them some extra interest.



Here is a tutorial on how to make my Christmas card at home:
