I was so excited when I was surfing through Julie Buhler's blog and found this great gift card holder! It was perfect timing for me since I have about 5 gift cards that need holders. Julie plans on creating a tutorial for this great little item soon, so keep watching! You can also see the dimensions to the gift card here. From looking at the pictures on these two blogs, I was able to put it all together. I will give you a hint: Punches from Stampin Up! In the meantime, stay tuned on Julie's blog to see the tutorial!

Ok, here is another gift bag I put together.... Have you ever been somewhere and you see something really eye-catching and right away you dream of the different ways you could use it? Ok, well, that was me the other day in Target. I found these awesome wrapping paper coordinates--I think there were 3... Then I ran over to Michael's and found matching ribbon AND glitter (unbelievable considering the actual color of the paper)! The glitter was made by Martha Stewart, so I'm sure it coordinates with the "in" colors... The colors on this bag are really different, and it uses silver and blue glitter. I used my sizzix and quickutz dies with this... The small snowflakes were cut out and then put through my Xyron sticker maker and then glittered with the blue glitter. This was alot of fun to make. Perfect for my beautiful nieces who will be receiving these with their gifts...
Here is a gift bag I just made.. This was really fun to make! I can remember a time when the only way I decorated one of these was to put a topper on the bag... *sigh*.. But this is so much nicer! There isn't much for stamping on this. In fact, its mostly die cuts! The snowflake on this was put throught the Xyron and then glittered with Dazzling Diamonds. The picture does not show it very well.... The mittens were glittered with Blue Brilliance and Dazzling Diamonds. I found the boa and the ribbon at Michaels. The back side of the bag also has the striped cardstock and the darke teal across the top. I thought it turned out really cute!!
I had a pre-cut coluzzle box sitting around and thought I'd decorated it. I had a little trouble with the stickles on this one. It was a little challenging, and I really didn't have the patience today... The stickles look really great against the light, but look speckly (is that a word?) when its not.
