December Key Ingredients Blog Hop

Good morning! Today I'm joining up with our fabulous Key Ingredients design team to share more projects using the December Key Ingredients kit! So now for the question of the week.... are you ready for Christmas!? If you're anything like me then you probably have a list of things-to-do that seems to grow even in your sleep! One of the things on my list this week is to make gift-card holders. Since the gift card doesn't look special on its own at least the packaging will look special!

While I was in Cincinnati teaching classes a couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting lots of creative ladies at the stamp store! One of the women brought in a gift card holder and I knew I wanted to try something like it for my gift cards this year.

It was really easy to make! I cut out a rectangular pocket sized to hold the gift card (don't forget to leave space on the bottom and sides for the sticky tape). Then I added the ribbon to make it look like a gift before adhering the pocket to the card. Then I added a strip of ribbon around the gift card and left a tab at the top where I attached the red bow that will be used to pull it out of the pocket. I finished it off with a penguin cut out from the patterned paper, the Merry Christmas sentiment from Woodland Winter, and a couple snowflake brads from the kit.

There's still time to get in on the fun ingredients in this month's kit by joining us as a subscriber through December 31st! And the great thing about this kit is that the supplies can be used throughout the winter... not just for Christmas! Click here for more info.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful week leading up to Christmas! Don't forget to check out the rest of the design team's creative projects!
