Christmas Stocking Gift Card Holder

How cute is this!  It is actually a gift card holder and is really easy to whip up.  I can see these hanging in the lounge on Christmas morning with scratchies for all the adults (Blue Tac works a treat) and as the main gift with an appropriate gift card for older nieces and nephews that I wouldn't dare try and buy for LOL.

20 More I Wish Cards

Here are 20 more cards made from the I Wish Simply Scrappin' kit. I added 5 A4 sheets each of Kraft, Whisper White, Real Red, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip and some 5/8" Real Red grosgrain ribbon to the basic kit, I have made these 20 cards from the add ons and have enough to make another 20, although I am now nearly out of stickers and will need to pull in images from the Snow Swirled Stamp set to make the next 20.

I am hoping to get these cards individually photographed tomorrow and will post them for you to have a closer look.

I Wish Stationary Box

Well, it is definitly not too early to think about Christmas. I am teaching this fabulous Stationary Box to a wonderful group of ladies tomorrow. It holds 8 standard cards and envelopes, 8 3x3 cards and envelopes, 8 gift tags, a stamp book, an address book and a pen - awesome!

The Stationary Box was designed by the talented Jackie Topa, click here to go to her blog and tutorial. I have made minor alterations to the box to accomodate our cards and stamp books. Cards and envelopes in the US are slightly smaller than ours and I wanted room for 'our' sized cards.

Congratulations if you made it to the end of this marathon post - I nearly didn't LOL! After making all of this I still had one of each of the sticker sheets minus one holly leaf, three sheets of double sided designer paper and one sheet of 12x12 designer paper. So watch out for my next cunning plan - with a few add ons I have challenged myself to make another fourty cards with what I have left.
