Needing some last minute cards to put some gift cards into, I started searching my stash and really wanted something new. Then I looked at Lorri Heiling's blog and saw exactly what I wanted! Lorri is my upline and has some of the cutest things! That's why I fell in love with her blog years ago! Thanks Lorri!!
Super Simple! Die cut 3 (yes three) Real Red Santa Suits using the Top Note Bigz Die. Also lay a strip of Basic Black across the bottom of the die and cut again (for Santa's belt). Cut a strip of white and place down the middle. You could also cut it with the Top Note, I didn't this time, but will if I do it again.
I punched the belt using Curly Label (119851) and the 1" Square (124094). The buttons are punched with the 1/2" Circle (119869). I used multi-purpose glue on all of it so it would stay together nice and tight. Can't have Santa's buttons popping off!
Here's where the other two die cuts are used - on the inside. The 2nd one is kept whole and the 3rd one cut off the bottom third or so. Carefully place some multi-purpose glue just around the edges so your gift card will slide in. Attach the two cards together with a brad so the card will spin open.
That's it! Nice and simple. As you can see, I made two of them and it didn't take much time at all.
Have you received your Occasions Catalog yet? They should be arriving in your mailbox shortly if you are a regular customer of mine. If you do not currently have a Demonstrator, I'd be happy to send you one. Just send me an email with your information and I'll see that you receive one when I receive my shipment of extras.
There are some really adorable things in there - you won't want to miss it!
Thanks for looking in. One more week and it will be Christmas Eve! Yayyy!
