Christmas Santa Scratch Off Envelope

I like to give out Lotto scratch off cards around Christmas time and wanted to make a fun holder for the cards.  I came up with this Santa Envelope using a red 5 x 7 envelope I had in my large envelope stock.

 

I basically sealed the envelope and cut off about 1/2" on one end creating a pocket.  Then it's time to decorate as shown below.

My Pretty Pines Christmas Card

This was my Christmas card for 2016.  I like making a bigger card so I can put a decent size Christmas photo inside.  I used Pool Party card stock with Silver Foil and White accents.

Stitched Shaped Framelits with Pretty Pines in Always Artichoke and Dazzling Diamonds 

 

 

Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits with Washi Tape

What’s not to love about the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits.  Combined with Halloween Night Designer Washi Tape and a great message.  This is a super cute card.

Ornament Surprise

I found a bunch of chipboard coasters and shared some with a friend.  What a nice suprise when my talented friend Barbara Dellicurty made me this wonderful ornament.  I love sharing and getting surprises.

Sneak Peak Occasions Catalog: Dragonfly Dreams

Today’s card makes a BOLD statement thanks to the beautiful mix of Basic Black, White and Sweet Sugarplum. You can get this new stamp set and bundle at a 10% discount in the new Occasions Catalog coming out in January.  

Gusseted Cellophane Bag with Peppermint Candy

This is one of the easiest way to dress up a Gusseted Cello Bag.  I used Candy Cane Lane DSP

For this bag I cut the DSP 4" x 10 1/2" and scored at 1 1/2", 4" and 9".  Filled with Sweet Stripes Soft Peppermint Candy.

If you want to put something bigger, like pretzels, cut the DSP 4" x 12" and score at 1 1/2", 4" and 10 1/2".

Paint Chip Inspiration #40: Merry Snowman

Merry Christmas...  a merry snowman made from paint chips.  Hope this inspires you.

Joy With Snowflakes

At my December Stampin Class we also made this Joy card and this snowflake gift tag..  each guest got to make 2 gift tags.

Santa's Sleigh Gift Card Holder

One of my class projects was this lovely gift card holder.  Santa's Sleigh on the front with the gift box is a perfect front for this card holder.  The measurements are below... this card fits in a normal size envelope.

Dimensions:  Garden Green card stock = 4 1/4" x 11", score at 1 3/4" and 5 1/2".  The white card stock panel on the front and on the inside measures 3 1/2" x 4".  The strip of DSP paper in This Is Christmas DSP measures 4" x 1 3/4".  Use 1 1/4" circle punch,

Be Joyful and Elegant

More samples from my December Stampin Class.  Love the way the colors blend on this card... Pool Party, Garden Green and Real Red.

Love the way Tip Top Taupe and Very Vanilla look together on this card.  So elegant with the Detailed Floral thinlit.  Ribbon is Very Vanilla 1/4" Satin Ribbon from he new Occasions Catalog.
