Wishing You a "Stache" of Cheer

I love the nutcracker and Santa in the Santa Stache set.  So, they are the focus of my December 7th Christmas tags class.  I did this class last year and the girls loved it, so I thought I'd do it again.  Here's the project...it's 4 of each tag plus a decorated tin to hold them all.  And, we get to play with the Blendabilities!

You can't see it, but the large To & From stamp is also on the back of all these tags.  The girls laughed at me while I was stamping the To & From because every time I stamped it, I said how much I loved that stamp.  We've never had a large To & From like this, and I know I'm never putting that one on my sale table...I'm in love with it!  Maybe I should buy two just in case I lose it...lol

Forgot to list the Burlap Ribbon in the table!

I've got lots of Christmas cards to upload.  October was super busy for me with craft shows and my daughter's annual Halloween party, so I'm trying to catch up...stay tuned.  I'm also looking forward to my kit class on Sunday: The Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit.

Gift Card Holder Using Envelope Punch Board

We made these cool gift card holders at our recent crafting retreat.  My friend, Dee, saw a store bought version and figured out the dimensions to make it with the envelope punch board.  I used this for my monthly technique in September.  Everyone loved it!  You can also decorate these for birthdays or any occasion.

Here are the instructions that I gave my club members to put in their technique book:

The Card Stock measurements and score instructions are for the card itself (the Garden Green pieces).  The Cover CS Mats refers to the Cherry Cobbler card stock, and the Cover Designer Paper refers to the Early Espresso Christmas tree patterned paper.

Here is a close up photo to illustrate the "attach above the spine" instruction.  The spine should be free to open and close.

And here are the tools I used:

Tips:  Use a rolled up glue dot to attach the Linen Thread bow.  Also, you might want to curl the end of your flag before sticking it down.  I popped up the greeting and all the trees on dimensionals...you can never have too many dimensionals (well, maybe...lol).

The big leaf is cut out with scissors (Paper Snips), but I used the framelits on the other two.  I just stamped scrap Very Vanilla card stock with the water color paint strokes stamp in this set.  Then, I used two of the framelit leaves to cut them out with the Big Shot.
