I had the pleasure of spending Monday with my dear friend Lucy. We had planned a special day of FUN – and when I suggested a Facebook Live, she thought that was a great idea! I assured her that “all of her Facebook fans” were missing her!!!
We made a super quick gift card holder – really quick, but super cute! You can use the measurements below – and really any cardstock, designer paper and stamp sets to make them – and they sure are a much cuter way to “give” a gift card, don’t you think?
Here is the replay of our Facebook Live – I hope you will watch and leave a comment – Lucy will surely be the bright spot in your day! She always is a bright spot for me any time I have the pleasure of her company! She is Joy personified! Enjoy!
Here is my version of the gift card:
And you can probably guess that this is Lucy’s version- she loves bling and wanted to “bling it up!” Never too much bling, right? So adorable!
BASE MEASUREMENTS:
- 2 3/4 x 8 1/2; score at 1 1/4 and 5
Perfect size to slip a gift card in the pocket inside!

I love the Snow Crystal Stamp set – shown above – I feel like it is easy to be missed in the July-December Mini Catalog – but it is there and it is so beautiful! For my Facebook Live, I used the stamp and Starry Sky ink and cardstock to create this beautiful card.
The word panel is from the Frosted Flurry Dies – they are on sale for just $13.60 as a part of our Last Chance List! WOW! The words I used are from the Frosted Flurry Stamp set.

This box is really easy to make – as you can see in the replay of the FB LIve. Add some simple yet beautifully elegant notecards and you have a wonderful gift to give over the holidays!

The notecards and envelopes come 20 in a pack and make creating these cards very easy and quick! The words are from the wonderful Go To Greetings stamp set – don’t miss this one!

If you are looking for some quick and cute little gift ideas my FB Live this week will give you just that!
QUICK CHRISTMAS IDEAS! For my Facebook Live yesterday, I created two projects – the first uses the darling Scottie Dog bundle (stamp set and punch) and “dresses up” some yummy Scottie Dog cookies – a perfect little gift for anyone on your list! And because the bundle includes a punch for the dog, it is super quick! These are great to have on hand when you need a little something to give!
So cute!
The second project I demonstrated uses the Envelope Treat Boxes from the July-December Mini Catalog and the Handmade Wishes Bundle. These products are great for year round gift giving! The Handmade Wishes Bundle also includes a punch. Since it’s December and Christmas is coming, I made a Christmas themed box – these boxes are perfectly sized to hold a gift card, candy, jewelry etc. Super cute and quick!
Hope you will give these projects a try – they will make your gift giving super easy!
