Wondrous Wreath Gift Box!

Hello Friends,
I hope each of you had a Merry Christmas and were blessed with good weather over the holidays!  We have had family here this past week, it is always awesome to get to have both of my kids and their families here at the same time!

Today I am sharing with you a project we made at our December Play Day using the Decorative Window Gift Box and the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set.  I think this stamp set is one of my all time faves, it is so much fun to play with and turns out so beautifully!

I saw several versions of this on Pinterest, so it is not an original idea, but I really don't know who to credit.  Here is my version:


This was not only a fun project to make, but it was also great because I had a few extra made up and they came in very handy to wrap some odd sized gifts at Christmas!  I found some coasters at a local store with pictures of local attractions for my kids and they fit inside the box perfectly.  Then my daughter needed to wrap a "hockey puck size" gift, so I pulled out yet another box!

Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  Wondrous Wreath

CARDSTOCK:
     Very Vanilla:  4 x 4-1/4
     Gold Foil Sheet:  2-1/2 x 3-3/4

INK:  Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler

ACCESSORIES:  Decorative Window Gift Box, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Gold Sequin Trim, Rhinestones, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon, Wonderful Wreath Framelits, Big Shot, Waxed Paper, Paper Piercer, Stampin Pierce Mat

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy stampin and scrappin,

December Play Day Gift Card Holder!

I found the instructions for this awesome gift card holder on Stampin Connection, the Stampin Up Demo only web site.  This makes up fast and easy and uses a minimal amount of cardstock!


Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  Merry and Type, More Merry Messages

CARDSTOCK:
     Cherry Cobbler:  4-1/4 x 11, score at 3" down the long side, score at 3" and 7" down the short side
     (cut 1-1/4 x 7 along the short section and middle section, save for belly band)
     Be of Good Cheer DSP:  2-3/4 x 2-3/4 (2), 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 (3)
     Very Vanilla:  2-3/4 x 3-3/4
     Be of Good Cheer DSP:  1 x 7
     Scrap:  Very Vanilla

INK:  Cherry Cobbler

MARKERS:  Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler

ACCESSORIES:  Extra Large Oval Punch, Sticky Tape, Dimensionals

The gift card looks like this when opened:


I like the way it has an obvious space to sign your name and write a short message, if desired.  I give gift cards to several friends every year, and actually don't sign the gift card holder so that they can recycle the gift card holder, which they LOVE!

And one more picture:


Sorry, I can't get this picture to rotate, but I added it to show you the back of the gift card holder before it is folded up.  Hope it helps, even without rotating it!
