Christmas Card Club Challenge #20 - Gifts, Ribbons and Bows

 Hi Crafters,

A little late with this challenge post so hopefully I will be forgiven.

Zoe has asked to see Gifts, Ribbons and Bows

Using up some older stash I made these two cards above.

Hunkydory imagery, a Joy Crafts Present Border Die and some peel-offs. 

Then I have made these money wallets and gift card holders using my Cameo electronic cutting machine.

I hope these cover the brief Zoe :o)

Please take a look at the rest of our teams Christmas Creations, the links to their blogs are here.

See you again soon,

Lorraine

Teachers' Cards and Gifts

Hi Crafters,

 

I've been busy making lots of cards and gifts for Teachers to sell on my stall at various venues as the end of term approaches and thought I would share them with you today.

Here are a couple of card designs that I made a few of..

 

 I used papers from Lori Whitlock 'School Days' Collection, some tiny brads, Sizzix 'ledger' embossing folder, Stampin' Up hole punch and an apple paper clip.

 

 These were cut on my Cameo and pieced together, they are shaped like a tab folder and are really cute.

 

I covered lots of these hard backed notebooks using papers from Raspberry Road 'Apple Cider' Collection and even personalised some with the names of the Teachers for special orders.

 

  I always have these 'Post It' note holders on my stall as they sell very well but as you can see I made some with a school theme too.

These are lip balm and nail files in a little holder using a Stampin' Up tutorial and the candle holders below are an idea from Sam Pootle that I sized up to fit my perfumed tea-lights.

 

...and finally I made these pencil holders on my Cameo and added a bar of chocolate inside ( who doesn't like chocolate?)

I have quite a few Christmas cards made now and this will certainly alleviate the pressure later on in the year to get them all made and sent out. If you would like to join in with our fun fortnightly challenge leave me a comment and I will put you in touch with  Margaret who keeps us in check, lol. Or you could pop along to the other members blogs (list in tab above) and be inspired by their cards to start making some of your own. The year definitely is marching on fast and it will be December before you know it!

Well I hope you are enjoying the Bank Holiday Weekend and see you soon,
