Jaded Blossom: STOCKING GIFT CARD HOLDER

 Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with my latest project for Jaded Blossom. I'm switching gears and starting on gift card holders for Christmas. I used to spend days/weeks hunting down the perfect gift for family and friends. It was a lot of stress. Now, I just buy a bunch of gift cards so my recipient can buy what he or she wants. For me it's easier since December is such a busy month with birthdays and Christmas. I have my birthday in December, along with hubby, his 2 brothers, and several friends. I told you....it's CRAZY! 

I used the Stocking Gift Card Die to create the base shape. I LOVE that this die set come with 3 different stocking toppers, along with the toe and heel dies so you can cut different colored paper for those pieces! I plan on creating these in all different colors for Christmas.

I found some little white pom poms and added those to create some dimension. Then I tied some ribbon around the top. I think for Christmas, I'm going to use alphabet dies and add the recipient's name to the top of the stocking instead of tying ribbon. On the back of the stocking, there is a slot to add your gift card. I decorated the gift card panel using stamps from Gnome For Christmas. I used gel pens from Diamond Press to color in the gnome on the red cardstock.

To create the tag, I used the Treat Tag Die. The small gnome is from the Gnome For Christmas Stamp Set. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Gingerbread Calories Stamp Set. 

 

 
Remember, Jaded Blossom has a current STRIPES Challenge. You have until November 5th to play along for a chance to win a free stamp set! And be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store for all your stamps and gift giving supplies. They have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes. 

Hugs,
