Surprise your friends with this fun gift pocket idea

Hi fellow crafters! Today I am going to take a break from my Christmas Gift Countdown (don't worry I will be back tomorrow for a Cyber Monday BONUS offer!) to bring you a super easy and really fun Gift Card Pocket idea. I will be using my Poinsettia Petals and Eden's Garden stamp sets, and the beautiful Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper:

The Heartwarming Hugs paper has perfect patterns for packaging or cards in traditional Christmas colors. This high-quality printed paper is excellent scrapbook paper, card making paper, and more. The pack includes various tiny patterns of plaid, stripes, dots, and more. It’s a great choice for Christmas cards and projects. This papercrafting staple is great for scrapbook paper, card making paper, and more! Coordinating colors are: Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Real Red and Whisper White. 

You have already seen that I often use the fabulous Poinsettia Petals stamp set and coordinating dies. See another project here. 

And I have shared several projects using the beautiful Eden's Garden Collection, here's one of my faves, showing you how to make a Double Flap fun fold idea. 

What a shock to get the new Mini Catalog in the mail this week and realize that the Ever Eden designer series paper and Cotton paper are not in the new catalog. This means you need to purchase it now - before it is gone for good. 

So on to today's project - this super easy gift card holder. Of course this project doesn't have to be a gift card holder, you can simply make it a lovely Christmas card with a holiday message instead of attaching a gift card. 

Here's my Heartwarming Hugs Gift card holder:

Announcing my 7 Days of fabulous Christmas Gift Ideas Countdown: day 2

Are you looking for fabulous Christmas ideas for your friends and family this year? Well, look no more because I am here to help with my Christmas Gift Ideas Countdown. Each day over the next week I will share products that are must-haves for the avid crafters in your life AND gift ideas for you too! 

I will share why each is such a fab gift idea along with direct access to my online store - making your shopping experience completely stress-free and in the comfort of your home.

The number one request I get when I ask when you need is: how can I best organize my craft supplies!

If you are looking to get better organized with your crafting supplies in the coming year (do I feel a New Year's Resolution coming on?), you need to consider: Storage by Stampin' Up!

The photo below shows the entire system - so neat, tidy and well organized:

Here are some features and benefits of Storage by Stampin’ Up!:

• Keeps products organized, tidy, visible, and trackable at all times.

• Ensures that your Stampin’ Pads, Stampin’ Write Markers, and Stampin’ Blends are all stored horizontally, as recommended.

• Designed to be stylish, durable, compact, stackable, and modular.

• Blends in naturally with most home decor with its white neutral color.

• Stacks vertically and can be arranged to fit practically any flat workspace.

• Easily assembled and disassembled for rearrangement and/or cleaning.

If you are looking for one way to start your storage system here's what I recommend:

Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays
$14.00

 

INK PAD & MARKER STORAGE TRAYS, #149168, $14.00

Why start here? Because a system to keep your ink pad and markers ready to go is perfect as you use these (well, at least the ink pads) every time you craft. 

Here are the juicy details:

• Set of 5 white plastic trays in one pack
• Each tray stores one Stampin’ Pad and one Stampin’ Write Marker (or Watercolor Pencil)
• Stack several trays together or combine with other storage products
• Peel-and-stick silicone feet are included to protect your surface and prevent slipping
• Each tray: 5″ x 5″ x $-1/16″

I have my system sitting on top of an old wooden storage hutch, and LOVE that everything is organized by color groupings: Neutrals, Brights, Subtles, and Regals, and easy to grab when I am crafting. No guessing anymore and no piles of ink pads falling all over the place!

Announcing my 7 Days of fabulous Christmas Gift Ideas Countdown: day 4

Are you looking for fabulous Christmas ideas for your friends and family this year? Well, look no more because I am here to help with my Christmas Gift Ideas Countdown. Each day over the next week I will share products that are must-haves for the avid crafters in your life AND gift ideas for you too!

Day 4: Classic Stamp Pads

Classic Stampin’ Pads come in exclusive Stampin' Up! colors, grouped in collections to take the guesswork out of color coordination. 

Classic Stampin’ Pads come in exclusive Stampin' Up! colors, grouped in collections to take the guesswork out of color coordination. Each ink pad has a set of color stickers on the back of the case. These are for labeling the outside and inside of the case. The new cases have an inset slot inside the ink pad that is perfect for placing the label inside the case, which makes it easier to identify which ink pad you are using.

So let's look at the ink pad color collections that Stampin' Up! offers. There are four permanent collections, 10 ink pads in each.

Note: for your shopping convenience I have linked each color collection to my online store, just in case you decide you want to purchase one or more of these collections. All you have to do is click on the photo. 

1. Subtles #147149
   
   
   
   
2. Brights #147150
   
   
   
   
3. Regals #147148
   
   
   
   
4. Neutrals #147151
   
   
   
   

And in addition, we have two In Color collections that are available for two years only, with 5 ink pads in each collection. These sets are temporary which helps Stampin' Up! (and us!) remain current with changing fashion and design colors. 

2021-23 collection #155638

2020-22 collection #154957

Many of Stampin' Up!s other products come in the same exclusive colors, so it’s easy to pair stamp pads with cardstock, markers, embellishments, and more! 

Our Classic Stampin’ Pads contain a fast drying, dye-based ink that is great for general stamping or for coloring techniques like watercoloring.  The innovative ink pad design has a patented flip-top lid to keep the stamp pad inked during storage. The firm foam pads outlast felt pads and give you a superior stamping experience.

So why are Classic Stampin’ Pads a great gift idea? Beyond the quality of these pads, the color collections are perfect for coordination. They are designed to be used together and can be seasonal if wanted. So for a holiday idea I suggest you choose the Brights Collection so that the crafter who receives all 10 ink pads is ready for Spring (and Summer) card and scrapbook making. Plus did you know that our Designer Series Paper packs coordinate with our ink colors? As does our card stock. As does our ribbon. As does our embellishment (you get it).

Day 7: A Dynamic Duo

Sad, but true. This dynamic duo is never usually on the first products to order but I highly recommend you consider this gift idea for the crafty person in your life! This duo is an investment in the longevity of your stamps and it won't break your Christmas budget bank! 

Part one: Stampin' Scrub (lovingly called the washer/dryer in one system!) 

Keep your stamps squeaky clean with Stampin' Scrub. Stampin' Scrub has two trays with plush black fiber scrub pads. Spray Stampin' Mist Cleaner on one side and scrub stamps; dry stamps on the other pad. The fibers ensure that even the most detailed stamps come clean. Use with Stampin' Mist cleaner. Folds when not in use.

* Pad size: 7" x 7" (18.4 x 18.4 cm)
* Large enough to clean background stamps
* Holds 2 removable, washable scrubbing pads (included)

Part two: Stampin' Mist 

 

Stampin' Mist cleans ink from stamps and helps condition rubber stamps (that's the investment part!). Use with Stampin' Scrub (sold separately) for the best results.

*8 fluid ounces (236 ml)
* lightly scented

Does your crafty friend travel a lot? If yes, then There is one other gift idea that is worth mentioning: 

This reusable stamp cleaning cloth makes stamp cleaning effortless. Just add water, then wipe stamps on the Stampin' Shammy (147042). Durable, thick shammy easily cleans ink from narrow grooves. No lint, no chemicals—just clean! (Ink will stain shammy but won’t transfer to your fingers or other stamps.) With its portable 5" x 7" (12.7 x 17.8 cm) size it fits neatly in a stamp case.

This fun fold card offers not one gift but two as part of the card!

Hi fellow crafters! In today's video, I am going to show you a fun fold card idea that offers not one, but two gifts as well. I am going to create a Christmas fun fold card featuring the Poinsettia Petals stamp set, the Peaceful Cabin stamp set and coordinating Peaceful Place paper and the Tailor Made Tags dies.

 

The Peaceful Cabin Stamp Set is so tranquil. You can use the stamps separately,  or you can pair them together to create a peaceful, wintry scene.

 

 

Want to see another Peaceful Cabin card idea? Click here.

 

The Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper helps you to keep that tranquil mood on your cards with its calming nature scenes and muted color schemes.

 

 

I love the Poinsettia Petals stamp set - not only the images but also the messages you can send using the phrases.

 

 

Mix, match, and layer the Tailor Made Tags dies in different sizes and colors. Create tags for any occasion you need: birthday cards, goodie bags, gift packages. Stamp sentiments from your favorite stamp sets, then cut out. It’s that easy to create custom tags!

 

 

Here's my card idea - under these photos you will find a list of supplies and measurements AND a video tutorial!

It is lightweight for mailing and will gently surprise anyone who receives this card. I am going to create a Christmas card idea featuring the Peaceful Cabin bundle and Peaceful Place paper.
