Do you see Gift Card’s in your list of Christmas Presents? I sure do, and this is an adorable way to present them to your loved ones. Corri has done an amazing job creating this gift card holder with matching tags. Most of these shapes will be released in the shop today so stay tuned. Corri has instructions on her blog for this project, so head over there to learn how she created it.
Mendi is here today helping you get in the Christmas spirit. Are you ready? December starts tomorrow, it caught me off guard just a bit, I have to admit, but Mendi did a great job reminding me of the things I love about December. I always love seeing her projects.
Mendi says “For this set of cards I wanted to focus on a few of Lori’s many fabulous interactive card files she has available. These cards may look ordinaryon the outside, but they have a nice surprise inside for the lucky recipent who opens it. I thought they would be perfect for occasions when you’re wanting an extra special card for a teacher, a minister, a best friend… The list could go on and on. Check out my blog today for more details and photos of the insides.”
Make sure and hop over to see the insides to these cards, SO CUTE.

Miss Natalie Graham always has something super crafty and so cute up her sleeve. She’s created some “candy pouches” for her kids to give their friends for Christmas. What an awesome and inexpensive idea!! Here’s what Natalie has to say…
“I was trying to think of who was left on my list to figure out what to give and I was reminded from my kids that they wanted to give something to their friends from school and church! So I had seen something like this and thought, it would be much cuter with something die cut, and not to mention easier – so here are my Candy gift pouches.”
“This set of “cookies” was made with plain brown paper wrapping paper I picked up at the dollar store. I cut two bases with my cricut, then started sewing them around. When you are about three quarters around – stuff the candy inside, then continue sewing until it is all sewn around – then I add the cute decorations all made from pattern paper. I made this a set of four, since it is a gift for a cute family we know that has four kids – it will be from my kids to them. So I wrapped them up together with string and added a tag.”
How CUTE… you just tear right into them to find the secret stash of treats!
Here’s what you’ll need:
Kraft wrapping paper (it’s thinner than cardstock which makes it easier to tear into them!)
Christmas wrapping paper
Cookie: Christmas Cookie Set by Lori Whitlock
Christmas Countdown by Kerri Bradford
And TODAY ONLY, the gift that Natalie used is available for FREE!!

Today, the lovely Miss Carolyn King has created our featured project. Who has a teacher on their gift list? I’m sure there’s not a teacher in the world that doesn’t get enough candles or hand lotion. Carolyn is thinking out of the box on this one (no pun intended)… What a creative way to give a gift card to the teacher on your list. I’m sure this is one gift that will be appreciated.
Here’s what Carolyn has to say:
“My last minute gift idea is for the teacher’s on your holiday list. I usually get a book store gift card for my children’s teachers so I started with that and created a gift card holder. I wanted to do a mini cube of paper to go with it but I could not find any white paper cubes so I just created the box and stuck an apple in there 🙂 You get the idea, though!”
Here are the cutting files that Carolyn used:
Apple, alpha background: Educationish (Kerri Bradford
Library Pocket Tag with Gift Card Holder (Lori Whitlock)
Happy Holidays: Christmas Phrases (Lori Whitlock)
