Are you gifting Gift Cards this Christmas? Here’s a festive idea to jazz up the presentation — a sliding Gift Card Holder created with Stampin’ Up!’s Merriest Trees Bundle and the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper.

When closed, the gift card holder looks like a fun Christmas card. Pull the Balmy Blue sparkling ribbon and the card front layer slides open and reveals a gift. Or you could attach a Christmas wish instead of a gift card.

Here Are the Supplies Used on Today’s Project

Let’s bring Halloween to the dogs with the classic Tricks & Treats bundle that’s perfect for crafty projects for the dog and from the dog. This bundle includes the classic characters — vampire, Frankenstein, haunted mansion — and the holiday sweet treat, candy corn. It’s perfect for Howl-oween.

Today’s scary cute cards are a collection of dog cards created with the bundle, seasonal patterned paper and tools from the Just Stamp vault.

Pair the bundle with the cute and scary patterned paper from the Them Bones Designer Series Paper with a classic Halloween color palette. It’s the perfect background for a card front or to add a subtle accent.

The Eek! graveyard card is a sweet Greet card to send from the dog or to the dog. The card front features a Basic Black dog cut from the retired Pets Dies and a cute black bat from the retired Bats punch. Conversational Bubbles (retired) provides the small speech bubble. Here’s a peek inside.

Scottie Dog Boo Treat Card

The Them Bones classic plaid pattern in traditional Halloween colors paired with the Cajun Craze bones design is the perfect backdrop for the Scottish Terrier pup with a festive Pumpkin Pie bow from the Scottie Dog punch. Open the card and slip a treat to their favorite shop inside the insert pocket.

Costumed Dog Treat Card

Even canines like to dress up for Howl-oween. The retired Dog Punch paired with the Tricks & Treats die cut using the Glow in the Dark Specialty Paper makes a fun trick or treating ghost.

Open the card and there’s a slotted pocket to slip cash or gift card for a Howl-oween treat.

More Inspiration

Here Are the Supplies for Today’s Projects

As part of the Stamper of the Month program, Stamparista Nikki Molina chose Irene Wendlandt’s Million Dollar Sales Achiever’s stamp set and coordinating dies to create and share projects that demonstrate the love of crafting.

Nikki is a business builder member of  Stampin’ Up! demonstrator team called the Stamparistas. Team members get lots of extra rewards beyond a generous 20-25% shopping discount EVERY time they shop.

Stamparistas can volunteer to be Stamper of the Month and receive a free stamp set or bundle. In exchange for receiving the free product, she agrees to design a class using it. It’s shared to the team, who can then create the projects for themselves or present the projects as part of their own stamping business. Nikki’s Crafting With You designs are the perfect start to creating with this special bundle.

Home Decor Sampler

Nikki used the colorful Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper as her background to showcase elements crafted from both the stamp set and coordinating dies. Her title, Crafting is My Happy Place, was created with the Alphabet A La Mode Dies.

3D Treat Bag/Box

Nikki’s signature share project at Team Time gatherings is usually a gift item. Here she created a gift bag to offer a petite sewing kit and more.

Friendship Card

Texture and soft colors created a “needlepoint” card perfect for lifting someone’s day. Scalloped Contours Dies cut the Bubble Bath and Basic White layers for the Lemon Lolly cardbase. Texture was added with the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder. A Bubble Bath 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon bow adds the finishing touch.

Chalkboard Card

Basic Black and a White Craft pad created a super fun one layer Handmade Hug card. Nikki used the Stampin’ Emboss Powders (Basics) to emphasize the greeting on the easel.

Stampin’ Up! Catalog Inspired Card

Nikki took her inspiration for this friendship card from the cover of the annual catalog. Colorful diagonal stripes created the background to showcase the paper trimmer and craft accessories that are included in the die set.

Grid Paper “Designer Series Paper”

The same paper that protects stampers’ workspace was resourcefully used as the background DSP for this crafty card. Matted on a Scalloped Contours Starry Sky layer, the simplicity of the card adds to the charm.

Faux Side Step Fun Fold

The versatility of the Crafting With You Bundle is huge. Here Nikki die cut the standing easel to display a work of art from the Wildlife Wonder stamp set.

This collection of projects demonstrates this special bundle beautifully. Thanks Nikki for the beautiful, crafty ideas and inspiration.

Send a Springtime birthday or thinking of you greeting created with Stampin’ Up!’s Nested Friends bundle.  Featuring a pretty bird, nest, branch and most-needed sentiments, the stamp set has coordinating dies to outline cut images.

Best Friends Card

Thinking of You Card

Coordinating dies cut build a nest with a textured layer and detailed overlay. No stamping or coloring needed. Notice the sentiment stamped directly on natural ribbon with Saddle Brown StazOn ink.

Birthday Wishes Fun Fold

The bird, nest and branch are stamped and colored using Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. Coordinating dies outline cut the images easily. Detailed leaves are also cut from the die set.
