Thank You Card Gift Set

I made sets of thank you cards to give as Christmas gifts. These cards were made using Basic Grey Figgy Pudding paper and odds and ends from my stash. I put the sets in simple clear envelopes and tied with silver cording.


For the card above, I used prima flowers and embroidery floss. The little squares was cut with a Martha Steward postage stamp punch.


The circles were cut out with my Cricut at 3/4 inches. You could also use a 3/4 inch circle punch, whichever you have on hand!



I used the Creative Memories circle cutting system to cut out the center circle and the red frame. The letters are from The Girls Paperie.




The thanks sentiment was cut out using the Beyond Birthdays Cricut cartridge.

Starbucks Bottle Christmas gift - Episode 10

Here is a Christmas gift made from a Starbucks Frappuccino bottle. I used the Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge for the tag. The paper is Figgy Pudding from Basic Grey. I filled the finished bottles with candy and gum.




I ended up making 20 bottles using different papers from the same paper collection. Here are a couple variations.

Christmas Treat Box - Episode 9

Here is another gift project. I used the Cricut cartridge Bags, Tags, Boxes & More for this little popcorn box, and the paper is Merry Berry from Cosmo Cricket. It doesn't show up well in this picture, but I used a sheet of transparency for the sentiment in the window. It shows up much better in the video!

Happy Holidays Card - Episode 8

Wow, it sure was cold this morning for our morning walk! It definitely puts me in the Christmas spirit!!! For today's card, I am AGAIN using paper from Cosmo Cricket's Jolly by Golly pack. I also used clear embossing powder - love that stuff! I used the Creative Memories Cutting System for the ovals, but you can use any cutting system you have! Have a great day!
