It’s Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas! I’m sharing a sweet stocking stuffer idea— it’s a special way to give a gift card. Give a treat PLUS the gift card inside this nice gift box.
Today’s project is a long-time favorite. Since the project requires lots of scoring and trimming, the project is suitable for the casual to advanced crafter. I’m sharing the Christmas version featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper and the Jingle, Jingle, Jingle stamp set, but you could substitute supplies on hand.
Today’s video tutorial is from the archives — you’ll see a version I created for Father’s Day. Plus, there is a PDF with measurements and scoring/cutting directions HERE.
It’s Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas! I’m sharing a card and gift card holder to present one of the most popular gifts of the season — a Starbucks or Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf gift card. Or ANY gift card!
Today’s project is crafted with a non-Christmas stamp set and paper, plus a go-to-Christmas greeting set. The Tea Boutique Suite from Stampin’ Up!’s annual catalog includes a stylish tea cup and floral patterned paper in just the right colors for Christmas tea or coffee. I’ve paired it with my go-to Christmas greetings set Christmas To Remember.
I demo how to make this special gift card holder with step-by-step instructions and measurements in this video, a Facebook Happy Hour with AnaMarie tutorial.
Every day for 12 days, I’m bringing you along as I craft and get set for my Christmas greetings and gifts. The projects I’m sharing during the 12 Days of Christmas are the projects I’m gifting to my service peeps like the dog groomer, hair stylist, etc., plus the neighbors, friends, club members and family.
Today I’m sharing an adorable diy gift box for cards that you can craft with basic tools and supplies that will accommodate 8-12 cards and envelopes. As a demonstrator I create lots of cards and projects. While I do my best to mail them off, there are always many on my counter. The holidays are a perfect time for me to gather a set, pop them into a box and gift them! I’ll grab a variety of birthday, thank you, sympathy, friendship or occasion cards so the recipient can be prepared to celebrate and recognize their favorite peeps.
This is a fun, custom box that won’t be a duplicate gift for anyone on my list.

It’s Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas! I’m sharing how to craft custom gift boxes for jewelry, socks, slipper sox, edible treats and almost any small item.
Remember back in the day when the Customer Service counter at the nice department store handed out gift boxes with purchases. Have you gotten one lately? Just wondering. I find it difficult just locating the Customer Service counter these days. 😆
No worries! You don’t need the department store boxes for your special gifts. You can craft and customize your gift boxes with just the basic tools. Your gift recipients will feel the love when they see your handmade gift box.

It’s 12 Days of Christmas Day 3! I’m sharing the Christmas Crackers or Party Poppers project I’m working on in the studio as I prepare for my Team Time this weekend. Crackers make thoughtful treats for your favorite service people, co-workers, and friends.
To make the Christmas Crackers or Party Poppers, you need just a Stampin’ Up! Crackers & Treat Box Die, or basic tools and patterned papers.
Stampin’ Up! offers an easy-to-cut and assemble die that’s UNAVAILABLE right now. It’s expected to be back in stock in mid February. Fortunately, the cracker box is just as easy to make without a die.

Although it’s December 1, there is still time to craft handmade Christmas cards to send to the peeps you may reach out to only once a year.
Stampin’ Up! kits are the ticket for special projects without stress — no designing, no measuring, no searching for supplies. Everything you need is in the box!
For Christmas, my favorite kit is the Christmas Whimsy. The kit creates 8 cards; four or two designs. The cute elves are at work decorating the tree on the ladder, and delivering pressies on a sled.
Catch the Step-by-Step
While the English kit is Sold Out online, I have inventory. Email me at amp@anamariepalmerin.com for the link to purchase.
