Christmas Pressies…

I’ve been asked to make 12 Post-It Notes for small Christmas Gifts.  I wanted to keep them simple & not have too much on the front.  With being in your bag all the time, they tend to get knocked around a lot, so keeping them simple suited the purpose.
I’ve kept with the basic Post-It Notes Holder, as I don’t think you can beat a classic.  It is so easy to make.
Cut a piece of cardstock 6 3/4″ x 3 1/4″
Score at 3 1/2″ & 4″
Embellish as desire

In this case, I printed all the names on the pc.
How easy is that?

Gift Set…

Today, I’ve done something a little different.  I saw this on Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie – http://www.frenchiestamps.com/2010/10/frenchies-freaky-friday-and-cute-6×6.html & had to have a go.  It is not often that I will sit & watch videos or read tutorials or instructions, but I must say, I enjoyed it!  So clear & easy!
I changed mine to hold gift cards.  I made 2 each of the cards shown below to go into it!

Thank You Card…

I’ve just finished creating the matching Thank You card for the gift box I made.  After receiving & reading my SU® Impressions Magazine today, I found a card that would match perfectly with the gift box, but made a few changes so that it matched in more with the Box, but see for yoursleves.
