Warmth & Wonder

Today’s post is a quick one. I’ve got some cooking and cleaning to do before we gather for our Christmas Eve dinner – but I wanted to share with you this great little pop up gift card holder I made to hold one of my last minute holiday gifts.

Warmth & Wonder Pop Up Gift Card Holder (3)

I love this great little Hostess Set, Warmth & Wonder from the Holiday Catalog – the images and sentiments are so wonderful. If you love it as much as I do there is still time to earn one for yourself. And as I’m sure you can tell from my projects that I’ve posted I’m a bit partial to this little deer image.

The gift card holder holds a little surprise – a pop up card on the inside that holds your gift card.

I love cards with movement, don’t you?

Warmth & Wonder Bottled Treats

Remember on Wednesday when I told you about the sugar scrub I made for my daughter’s girlfriends at college? Well she also needed some quick gifts for the guys – and since we figured you can never go wrong with candy for those men in our lives I went back to my ever growing stash of Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino bottles and grabbed two of the larger size bottles – LOL.

Here is what I came up with for her guy friends – I kept them simple since after all they are guys. And since this was final week I knew the sugar rush would come in handy during those all night study sessions!

Warmth & Wonder Bottled Treats

This first bottle is filled with Christmas Candy Corn and I used the Warmth & Wonder Hostess Set (131880/131883) from the Holiday Catalog stamped in Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink. I just love this elegant little deer image and since it fits into our 1 3/4″ Circle Punch it’s great for all kinds of quick gifts and projects.

I first wrapped my bottle using a 9″ long piece of Season of Style Designer Series paper that I cut 2″ wide. I used a piece of Sticky Strip to attach this to the bottle. Punched a 1 3/4″ circle of Designer Series Paper and attached that with Glue Dots. (I didn’t wrap the side of the lid with Designer Series Paper this time since the mocha’s brown lid coordinated with my project.) I adhered my image and layered it onto my 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch Baked Brown Sugar piece and quickly pieced some holes in the scallops using my Paper-Piercing Tool and Stampin’ Pierce Mat and finally I added a couple of Dimensionals to the back so that it would stay really well on the slick glass surface.  Voila! all done with gift number one and onto the next one.

A Gift for You Bottled Treats

I wanted them basically the same but different so this second bottle uses the single stamp A Gift For You stamped in Cherry Cobbler and punched out using its coordinating punch, the Label Bracket. Easy pease – after I decorated it I just filled the bottle with some spice gum drops. Twenty minutes later she was set to hit the road!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Warmth & Wonder Hostess Set (131880/131883) and A Gift for You Single Stamp (134765)

Inks: Baked Brown Sugar (131174) and Cherry Cobbler (126966)

Paper: Season of Style Designer Series Paper (132340), Baked Brown Sugar (131296), and Whisper White Card Stock (100730)

Accessories: Paper-Piercing Tool (126189) and Stampin’ Pierce Mat (126199), 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (118874), 1 3/4″ Circle Punch (119850), Label Bracket Punch (132153), Sticky Strip (104294), Glue Dots (103683), and Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430)

Warmth & Wonder

Warmth & Wonder is one of the Hostess Sets from the Holiday Catalog. I just love this sets images – they are great for some many different types of projects since the images are small enough to use in punches. As a matter of fact one of the images is designed to coordinate with a punch – and since I’m a punch-aholic that is a good thing, right?

Everyone at Sunday’s Holiday Catalog Premiere Party seemed to enjoy making this card and the little different twist on the way it was assembled.

Can you see the little trim above the Season of Style Designer Series Paper? Do you know what created this little scallop edge? If you said our new Small Scallop Stampin’ Trimmer Rotary Cutting Blade, you’re right! I really love the cutting option that these cutting blades give us. If you haven’t already why not take a look at this new cutting option that the Rotary Add-On gives us? And since it just attaches to the Stampin’ Trimmer so easily I think you’ll really like it.
