Quick Christmas Cards

Stampin' Up! introduced rub ons some years back, and I'm embarrassed to say that I still have rather a lot of them left over.

They actually make cards really quick and easy!   And if you were lucky enough to buy the co-ordinating designer series papers and rub-ons, you've got the job done double quick!

The word JOY is the rub on here.  The chipboard stars are covered with glitter.

First time I've tried this funny little fold to make a Christmas tree.  I got the instructions on Pinterest here.  This is our new christmas dsp - Be of Good Cheer

Again, the rub on is the greeting.  And how yummy is that paper?  Christmalicious!

I think these were call Jolly Holiday, but I'm not sure.  Anyway the main colours are Old Olive, Real Red, Chocolate Chip & Very Vanilla.  Not matter how many times I use non-traditional colours (and I do like them too), I always find myself returning to this combo.

Go dig out your rub-ons and see what you can whip up in a flash!
Cheers

Gift Card/Money Holder

While blog hopping, I stopped in at Linda Guttierez's blog (U.S. demonstrator) and saw a gorgeous gift card holder.  As it's a stocking, it's easily adaptable for boys and girls, so I just had to CASE it!  Here's my version:  This one's for a girl but you can make it for a boy just by changing the colours & patterns.  And perhaps omitting the ornament tag in favour of something more boy-like!

I made my own pattern so if you'd like to know how, email me and I'll share with you.   You can't actually see the ornament tag clearly but I've stamped one of the sides with To & From.   It would also make a nice tag on a present, dontcha think?!    Cardstock is the Cherry Cobbler, DSP Jolly Holiday.  Snowflake is one of the Sizzlits Dies for the Big Shot - you need one of these!
