Quick and Easy is the Name of the Game!

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. Did you get a chance to check out our Stamping Symphony blog hop on Saturday? If you missed it, be sure to scroll down to my previous post...we were all about winter and the new year this month.
Speaking of the new year, can you believe how fast time is flying by? One week from today is Christmas Eve! If you're like me you're likely getting down to crunch time when it comes to gift buying (and wrapping!). I am a big giver of gift cards and, because they can seem impersonal, I always like to package them in a special way to make the recipient feel extra-special. So this week, I am all about quick and easy gift card holders! I'm featuring three designs that I'll be showcasing in my Tuesday Live @ Five video over on Facebook, and I have a little sneak peek for you today...

I CASE'd this design from the uber-talented Erica Cerwin, who I think CASE'd one of her downline! Isn't is amazing the way we can all share ideas? This little cutie slides open to reveal the gift card...

The only gift cards I have in the house right now are for Starbucks and the LCBO (wine store!) LOL...what does that tell you about my current state of mind?!? I used the Sincerely Santa stamp set and Dashing Along DSP for all three of the projects I'll be featuring in my video this week. I love the traditional colours and patterns in that paper!

I also used some pine bough die-cuts and sparkly gold sprigs I had laying around from other projects. I love this time of year, when I am done with Christmas classes and can use up extra bits and pieces before pulling out all of my new Occasions catalogue goodies!

I hope you'll join me tomorrow afternoon at 5 pm ET over on my Facebook page. If you can't join me live you can check out the recording later on Facebook, my YouTube channel or on the Video Tutorials tab at the top of this page. I've got you covered for quick and easy gift-card packaging this year!

In the meantime, have a great week and may the lines be short and the parking spaces at the mall be plentiful! ;)
