#CreateWithKathe #JorjaRoseFiles

This week we made 4 projects!!!

As it is almost Christmas, and many people now give gift vouchers/cards for Christmas, this week’s focus was on how to present gift cards …

 

Project 1 “Circle Card Thinlits” Gift Card Holder, case via Jacque Williams

Jacque taught this card at our recent Christmas Extravaganza, and I had to share this card with my ladies.

I changed it up a bit by adding in the “Work Of Art” stamp set.

Stamp sets featured in this card are “Festival Of Trees”, “Letterpress Winter” and “Work Of Art” .

This card could be suitable for any occasion, just by swapping the stamp sets.

Project 2 “Cottage Cutz Filigree Pocket” Gift Card Holder

Featuring my favourite die from Cottage Cutz, the ladies got to choose between a snowflake embellishment {from the “Snowflake Card Thinlits” Die} or a flower {from the “Flower Shop” stamp set and punched with the matching “Pansy” Punch}. Both are secured with a Candy Dot Brad Base and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel.

The leaves are punched using the “Bird Builder” Punch.

The embellishments for this pocket card holder can be changed to any colour, that way you can match the embellishment back with the colour of the gift card.

Project 3 “Envelope Gift Card Holder”

The base for the card holder is the envelope from the “Note Cards and Envelopes” #131527 $11.95 for 20

Folded in half and adhered to a piece of Pool Party cardstock, the front is decorated with the “Work Of Art” and “Festival Of Trees” stamps sets, + Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

For the inside, one flap of the envelope is cut off, and the other stuck down.

This is a quick and easy card to make and took less than 10 minutes from start to finish.

Project 4 “Top Note” Swing Gift Card Holder

Love love love the “Top Note” Die, which ahs been used to create this swing card. Accented with “Trim The Tree” Designer Series Paper Stack which peaks through the negative detail, created with the Star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

The stamp set featured is “Get Your Santa On” which has bee coloured with the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities. Did you see the cute Pom Pom on the Santa’s Hat? That’s created with the Crop-A-Dile and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.

The Cherry Cobbler Ribbon and Antique Brad are the finishing touch.

Wah-lah … Gift Card Holders …done!

Create With Kathe for Thursday 20th November 2014

How to we top last week’s Class?!!!

This week we made a gift box with the new “Gift Box Punch Board”, and 4 mini 3 ½” x 3 ½” cards, featuring the “Get Your Santa On” stamp set, and alos a card in shades of Purple {Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant}, featuring the “Corner Garden” stamp set and ALL the Blendabilities …

Project 1 Gift Box With 4 Mini 3 ½” x 3 ½” Cards

We made the Gift Box using an 8”x8” piece of Early Espresso cardstock, and followed the instructions for making the 4” square box.

This was my first time demonstrating the new “Gift Box Punch Board” {available for only $38.95}, and the ladies mastered it beautifully.

Like last week, I was demonstrating how one stamp set can make so many cute and different cards, and this week we made 4 mini cards, and ALL with the same stamp set “Get Your Santa On” …

Wah-lah …  Gift Box With 4 Mini 3 ½” x 3 ½” Cards done!

Project 2 “Corner Garden” Stamp Set + Blendabilities

Very excited to re-hash this idea that I first visited, just after the Blendabilities came out.

This effect is created by first heat embossing in White, then colouring the heat embossed image with the Blendabilities pens.

Because you are colouring onto the Basic Black cardstock, you can not see when you go outside the edges … brilliant!

My upline demonstrated a similar card recently with the “Corner Garden” stamp set, at out recent Nelson Christmas Extravaganza, and I re-fell-in-love with this technique.

The ladies got to choose their own sentiment from the “Wetlands” stamp set, but as I had a wedding on this past weekend, I chose stamps that specifically went with a wedding theme.

I made a card for the Bride and Groom, and also one for my Auntie and Uncle, as a “Congratulations” as their son was getting married.

Wah-lah …  “Corner Garden” Stamp Set + Blendabilities done!

Ummm … and a final note on the "Blendabilities", my last two colours arrived today {Crumb Cake and Smokey Slate}, so I now have the whole set of …

Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Night Of Navy, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Smokey Slate, Wisteria Wonder + Skin Tone … omg … that’s $350 + of Pens!!!
