I made these gift card holders using My Creative Time's Gift Card holder die. The Santa and Reindeer are from Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge and the Stocking is from Cricut Joy of the Seasons cartridge.
Each is cut at 3 inches. Papers, Ribbon, Cardstock and Ink are Stampin' Up!(except the designer paper under the stocking and Reindeer.) The sentiment is My Creative Time's coordinating Gift Card Sentiments.
Since I have older children and teenagers, gift cards are the way to go for several of my gifts. I like that I can jazz up my gift with a cute, handmade holder! Until next time...
Ok. To understand my little Santa, you have to know that my sister is a clerk at the Court House and works for three judges. She asked me to make her some Christmas cards for her judges using Santa and judges robe. This little guy is what I came up with.
The card measures 6 x 6 inches. I used Stampin Up Chocolate Chip for the base, Whisper White for the inside of card, beard, and hat. For the first card layer, I used SU Cherry Cobbler. The hat and undershirt is SU Real Red. The embossed layer is SU Old Olive and was embossed with a Sizzix folder (don't remember the name.)
The ribbon is SU Soft Suede. The stamped sentiments are all SU, inked with SU Basic Black. I used PPDU for my little guy cut at 4.25 inches. The robe is actually from Everyday Paper Dolls and is the graduation cut.
The Santa hat and boots are from PDDU.
Well, that's my project. Hope you like it. Now don't forget to go to Exploring Cricut to enter your project for this week's Challenge! Until next time...
