2009 Double-Coaster Calendar!

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE! With 2009 just around the corner, I thought I'd share the cute double-coaster calendar we made at my Very Merry Open House - a perfect stocking stuffer or gift for this past Christmas!

The ribbon is the 5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain, and the brad is our Filigree Designer Brad! All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up! - the most awesome rubber-stamp company in the world! I WISH YOU A VERY WONDERFUL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! We have more GREAT stamping coming up in 2009! Be there, or be square!

Thank-You Notes for Christmas!

So many of you LOVED the punched-out Santa we made just recently at a stamp camp! I've taken that same idea and made the simplest, but cutest, thank-you notes for all of our Christmas presents! Just use our precut and scored notecards, cut a strip of Old Olive card stock to 1/2", stamp "Thank You" from the "Holiday Blitz" stamp set, and then put one of those cute, cute, cute Santas off to the side and you've got a spectacular thank-you note for all of your holiday gifts -and it was quick! The instructions for the punched-out Santa can be found in an older November post below. All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!

A Christmas Cardinal

I love this little guy - and he's made from punches! I wheeled the "So Swirly" jumbo wheel on the Kraft card stock, on the Mellow Moss card stock, and on the Real Red card stock!

Merry & Bright Gift-Card Holder

I love this little snowman, and this gift-card holder is quick and easy to make! This is one of the projects we made at Camp Wannastamp HO HO HO! The picture tutorial below will show you the steps involved! The recipe is below, too! All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!, with the exception of the gift card, of course! Have fun making a bunch of these!

Once you have cut and scored your paper, place Sticky Strip right along the score line on the short edge.

After you've applied your Close to Cocoa panel on the front, punch a 1/8th-inch hole about 1/4th of an inch down for your ribbon.

Thread your Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon through the hole.

Begin to slide your gift card down into the holder, which will also move the ribbon down to the bottom of the holder.

Tie a knot at the top of the holder.

When you pull the knot up, up pops the gift card inside! Yippee - it's so much fun!

Recipe: Paper: Pink Pirouette - 5 X 3-1/2 - scored at 2-1/4" and 4-1/2"; Close to Cocoa - 3-1/4 X 2; Whisper White scrap

Spotlight On Christmas Gift-Card Holder

I think this is my favorite of the items we made at Camp Wannastamp HO HO HO! It's a gift-card holder that I would be HAPPY to find in my stocking on Christmas morning! For the belly band, center the gift-card holder on top of the belly band and then bend the belly band to fit snuggly in front. I held the belly band together with Sticky Strip, which will be hidden once you place the scalloped embellishment on top! The recipe is below. All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!

Scallop-Punch Tree Money Holder

Isn't this adorable? I got this great scallop-punch Christmas tree idea from my stamping buddy, Joy! She made a card like this, and I turned it into a money holder for Christmas. This is one of the money holders we made at Camp Wannastamp HO HO HO! To make the tree, punch out an Old Olive Scallop-Punch circle. Then cut it directly in half, as shown above. Cut five scallops out, which leaves you with two scallops. Then with the other half, cut out four scallops, which leaves you with three scallops - all the pieces you need for your tree! Glue them all together, and use the Word Window Punch for the trunk. Outline the scallops with the 2-Way Glue Pen and add Dazzling Diamonds Glitter! The recipe is below.
