On the Eighth Day of Christmas

On the Eighth Day of Christmas…..
I don't know about you but I give out plenty of gift cards for presents.
I want those cards to be like a present.
Today's gift is a card and gift card holder all in one.
Snowman Gift CardThis snowman is quick to make and it makes it fun to receive that gift card.
I used the note card for this — they come in a package of 20 and envelopes
are included so it's a great deal.
First I rounded all four corners with the Project Life Corner Round Punch
I used the Softly Falling embossing folder on the front of the card.
I used the 1/2" Circle Punch to snip out just a bit on the left side of the
card to put the ribbon through.
The eyes were punched out using the 3/4" Circle Punch — I added
the highlights with the White Gel Pen.
For the nose, I started with a piece of Tangelo Twist card stock
that was 1 1/4" x 5/8" and cut it in half on a diagonal (I got two noses from one piece).
I glued those on with the Fine Tip Glue.
Snowman Gift Card Inside
For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock
that was 1 3/4" x 3 3/8" — round the bottom two corners.
I stamped "SNOW WAY!" and "Merry Christmas!" both from
Snow Place stamp set with Lost Lagoon ink.
I used the snowflakes from the Snow Place stamp set and used
Soft Sky ink.  I put glue on the bottom and two sides (don't put
glue on the top).

Just like that you are ready to insert your gift card.
Check that off you list of things to get done.

On the Seventh Day of Christmas

Today's little gift would be perfect in a stocking.
Three little chocolate nuggets — not too much candy,
just a taste.
Nugget SnowmanThis little guy is so fun to make.
I used mailing labels to wrap around the chocolate nuggets.
I punched 1/4" circles from Black Glimmer Paper
and attached with glue dots.
For the snowman's face I used a Black Marker to
ink up just the face of the cute snowman from the Snow Place stamp set
and stamp in the center of the label before wrapping around the nugget.

I stamped the scarf, hat and holly berries and cut out with
the coordinating Snow Friends Framelits and
attached to the face nugget with glue dots.

I made a little box to put the nuggets in
and slid it all into a medium cello bag (4" x 6"),
fold the edges of the bag over and tie the top
with ribbon.

The recipient will love this little treat.

On the Six Day of Christmas

On the Sixth Day of Christmas
I passed these out to everyone.
Candy Cane Holder
Today's gift is great to keep a few in your purse.
When you are out shopping or running errands you
can pass these out along your way.
How many trips to the post office have you made lately?
Wouldn't the lady checking you out enjoy a little treat.

I think this is a great way to spread a little holiday cheer
and it doesn't cost very much.

So, get busy and whip up a batch of fun.
I used Tip Top Taupe card stock cut 2" x 6 1/4"
I used the Scallop Tag Topper punch for the pretty top edge.
To create the slit for the candy can I cut at 2 3/4" and 3 1/4"
Start at the 1/2" mark cut up to 1 1/2"

Stamp, tuck in candy cane and start passing them out.
