Create With Kathe for Thursday 11th December 2014



#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!

Guest Blogger: Merilyn Irvine



I received this truly gorgeous and beautiful handmade Christmas card from my good friend Merilyn today.
It is truly a masterpiece of painstaking hand-colouring with Blendabilities, Uni-Ball Signo Gel Pen in White, and an Artline Pen in Black.
Featuring the “Holiday Home” stamp set and matching “Homemade Holiday” Framelits, everywhere I look I see xtra special details, liked Santa and his reindeer prancing through the nights sky.
I love the contrast of the colours used, especially the homes in Crumb Cake.
The finishing touch is the Gold Metallic Baker’s Twine, tied in a sweet bow.

Thanks Merliyn, I shall cherish this gorgeous card for years to come.

To my many friends and family living overseas, from our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.


This Christmas Tree is made by my good friends Geoff and Sheryl, and is made from driftwood, collected at the beach.
Gotta love re-purposing!


And this is my New Zealand themed Christmas Card, featuring the Pohutukawa flower …

Merry Christmas!

Best wishes,

Kathe.
