Christmas Give-A-Ways

I am taking a break in blog challenges to make give-a-ways for my sons' teachers & friends.

 My first gift card holder. The other one I made has no photo since it needs to be given away. It has a different print but basically the same lay-out.

 My other gift card holders.

Take-out boxes for my sons' five chosen friends. I used the Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut this out. I cut it at a size that will fit a small Kit Kat candy bar & a Whopper or Milk Duds. Kit Kat was a unanimous choice of my 3 boys for a treat for their friends.

 

 

 

 

 

I enjoyed doing this, a little bit stressful but it was fun. Hope you enjoyed viewing it.

CUP OF THANKS

 

This week's inspiration.





My take for the inspiration. I am using the chevron cup, steam & sentiment stamps
from the Cyber Cafe stamp set.
Initially, I was planning to stamp one cup only & put it in the center
but I felt it was too lonely so I put in 3 cups instead.
I seem to be inspired by videos in the net making window cards.
So I decided to make my own version of it, too.
I cut my Polaroid frames using the Cricut Destination cartridge.
Dry embossed one frame, outlined one & washi taped the other.
(Can't keep the washi tapes out of the picture.)
The background is also a Paper Smooches stamp, Hip To Be Square, embossed in Wow! Platinum.

Power of Love





This is the inspiration.

And this is what I created. I used the Cyber Café Stamps.

I used the signal stamp to recreate the chevron. I used the steam stamps to recreate the swirls on the photo. I stamped the single coffee bean stamp for the letters L-V-E. Used the power button stamp on the heart. I used the wifi signal stamp as a background stamp for the banner that holds the word Love. Too bad, it's hard to see it in this picture.
