Gift Card Tag Santa Tutorial

Hello everyone, Marcia here.  Christmas is creeping up. I am a big fan of giving gift cards so my recipients can pick out their own gift but I like to make gift card holders to put them in. I selected the Gift Card Tag Santa (SVGSilhouette) to make for my gift cards this year.  There is a pocket on the back side of this tag that holds the gift card. I used Lori’s Have a Holly Jolly Christmas collection to create my tags.

These are really easy to assemble. Let me show you how.

1. Cut out the pieces from the desired pattern paper or cardstock.

2. Fold the tag along the score lines folding the flaps up. Apply glue to the flaps and adhere to the back of the tag to form the pocket.

3. Adhere the white beard and Santa suit trim to the top of the tag.

4. Slip the black belt through the belt buckle and adhere to the bottom of the tag. Add the two black buttons above the belt on the white trim.

5. Add ribbon or other embellishments as you wish.

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Every year I design a NEW Christmas Village. This year I designed 5 new buildings as part of a Christmas Village Bundle. They are super cute and make the most adorable mantle decor. They are not too thick so they line up beautifully on a shelf or mantle.

There will be links to the products in the video description and on the listings in my SVG shop. I also designed a new Christmas Village Lantern that is really cute, too.

Lighted Shadowbox Decor Turkey

This is a fun week for celebrating Thanksgiving. What are your favorite Thanksgiving traditions? We love doing something active early in the day. This year will be pickleball. I also like Black Friday shopping, but it has changed over the years.  I ordered my first Silhouette Cameo on a Black Friday sale several years ago.

I’m sharing a Turkey project to add to our Thanksgiving decor. These shadowbox projects are so fun. Check out all the holiday themed boxes.

Snow Globe Shadow Box Gingerbread Card Tutorial

Hi friends! I know I know it’s a little early for some of you, but I have moved on to Christmas crafting. I was inspired by the Have a Holly Jolly Christmas Collection by Lori Whitlock and Echo Park. I loved all the gingerbread houses and baking elements. So cute. I saw this Snow Globe Shadow Box Card Gingerbread (SVG, Silhouette) and thought it would be perfect with this collection.

This card comes together fairly easy. If you have a hard time with traditional box card assembly, try this version. I thought this was much easier. The toughest part is the tiny pieces used to decorate the gingerbread house. There are two inserts, the snow globe frame, and the decorative elements. All of the folds are mountain folds. I assembled the tiny pieces first. I used a fine tip glue bottle to get everything assembled then glued everything down on the inserts. The front insert has the round peppermint candies, and the back insert has the house. The door and the window are glued down after the house is in place. The decorative panels all glued to the outside of the snow globe frame.

Once all of the outside panels were secure I flipped the card over and glued down the decorative background of the snow globe. I embossed mine with a snowflake embossing folder. The two inserts have tabs that will slide into the slots. I then gently folded the inserts over and slid the other tabs into the slots. I added glue the tabs on the snow globe base and folded the front of the card over and made sure everything was lined up and held for a few seconds while the glue took hold.

I love how this card turned out, so festive and sweet. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely holiday!
