I love to give gift cards to the teacher's at my son's school. This is an easy design to create some quick gift card holders.
Cut card stock: 7 3/4 x 5 Score at 2 1/2 and 6
Cut designer series paper 4 3/4x 2 1/4 and 4 3/4 x 1 1/2
Cut whisper white piece to stamp a greeting on 4 3/4 x 2 1/4
The band is 1 x 7
I made a quick video on how to make this.

I like to give gift cards at Christmas. This gift card holder is a nice quick one that you make out of an envelope!
To make this start with a medium envelope and fold in 1/2.
Open it and cut the flap up the middle.
Cut off the right flap.
Seal the left Flap.
Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper 4 1/8 x 2 5/8.
Cut a coordinating color of card stock 4 1/8 x 2 5/8.
Adhere one piece of designer series paper to the front, and the other to the inside on the left.
Stamp the greeting you want on the right side, and choose how you want to decorate the front and left side.
Adhere a gift card to the colored piece of card stock and insert in the open right side.
Tie ribbon around the closed envelope and add embellishments on top.
I made a video to show how quick and easy these are.
These are the products I used to make this gift card holder.

We had our On Stage event this past weekend. It was so much fun! I love getting together with other demonstrators! It started Friday night with a special night for leaders. At every stamping event we get a bag. Isn't this cute!
They had beautiful flowers on the tables.
A great meal and many desserts to pick from! Of course we had several!
The best part besides connecting with friends from all over, is we get the catalog early!
We had several from our group and extended downline qualify to attend. (for the event on Friday you need to be a Silver Elite - you need a mixture of recruits and sales to achieve this)
I signed up to be a demonstrator 22 years ago under Sue Nurnberger. It is always fun to see her at these events.
On our way out we each received this cute bag and a new punch which will be in our next catalog!
On Saturday is the main even for all demonstrators. The event in the midwest is always has the largest attendance. Look how big our group is!
Saturday is filled with learning about products in the new catalog, card exchanges, business tips, recognition, and of course stamping!
We get to see display boards like this with new products.
They decorated the tables like this: (the mini Stampin Up box is available in the next catalog. Aren't they cute?
We got to use several new products to make the cards.
Below is going to be in the May Paper Pumpkin kit. Shelli designed it. Sign up now so you can make them!
At the end of our time making the project, they let our table of 6 keep all the items used! This is what I ended up with.
I also got all of these new items:
After On Stage, I invited our group over for dinner. 35 people came! My mom was there to get it all started.
I covered water bottles with our designer series paper.
Covered Chocolates are always a hit!
I passed out these tiny treat boxes to demonstrators at On Stage.
I bought some empty stamp cases and cut designer series paper to fit inside. These were gifts for my personal recruits who attended. This is great way to store your shammy.
This is what was on the inside. Shammy, Share What You Love Pearls, pen, and of course chocolates!
I would love for you to join us at the next one in November!
Happy Stamping!

I made a few gifts for some of my recruits that are in Orlando with me. I used the Statement of the Heart stamp that I received at another Stampin Up event:
“To love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments… in this we make a difference”
I bought the little “plaques” at the craft store and used our glue sticks to put Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (a Sale-A-Bration item) I then punched out flowers using the same colors that are in the paper pack.
I love using color combinations from the packs of Designer Series Paper that we sell. On the back of each pack it lists the colors used in it. They are also found in the catalog. The ribbon is also a Sale-A-Bration item. It is from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack. I stamped Stampin Up’s statement of the heart on Whisper White card stock and then using the Big Shot punched it out using Apothecary Accents Framelits.
On the back I put a strip of Designer Series Paper to cover the stickers put on by the store. I used a stamp from the “Better Than Email stamp set on the back and wrote a little note.
I packaged it using a white lunch bag. I put a piece of our Chevron Calypso Coral ribbon and then punched out a tag. I hope they like them! I was thinking they would be great in a Stamp Room or other creative space.
I made several little packs of Chocolate too. What stamping event is complete without chocolate?

Our new Holiday Catalog has some fun new Thinlit dies. One of them is the Curvy Keepsake Die.
It is $32.95 for the 4 dies. Item #135853
You need to make 2 of the large die pieces in order to assemble the Curvy Keepsake Box.
I used the Dots and Stripes Decorative Masks to make the dots on it. A dauber works great to apply the ink.
It is just $2.95 for the Dots and Stripes Decorative Masks!
I made a tag for it using Festival of Trees Photopolymer Bundle $27.95 (This bundle is going to be a part of Stamps in the Mail 25 which begins in October)
Here is the finished product. It is the perfect size for a small treat or gift.
Happy Stamping!

Shhhh, today is Michael's 40th birthday. He did not want a big party, he just wanted to go to the cabin for a few days so that is where we are. I made him this box with 40 things I love about him on little strips of paper.
With our Decorative Window Gift Boxes this was very easy to dress up. They come is a pack of 6 for $4.95 and are food safe.
I added some of our 1 1/4" burlap ribbon around it. I fastened it to itself with glue dots to make a belly band then added numbers I made using the Big Shot.
What would you use the Decorative Window Gift Box for?
Happy Stamping!

I made Card Portfolios for the demonstrators that attended Stampin Up's Leadership Conference. I used the Typeset Aphabet Bigz for the Big Shot to personalize them.
I made a set of 4 note cards using Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper that will be FREE during Sale-A-Bration!
Don't they look nice!
Here is how the portfolio looks opened. I used 4 medium sized envelopes, and 1/2 sheet of 12X12 Designer Series Paper to make it.
Here are the instructions on how to make the portfolio.
