 Hey stampers welcome to another week of watch a weekly Wednesday. I'm Beth Olson part of the stamping gel creative team And I'm excited to share with you some fun holiday projects today when I first looked through the holiday catalog I was drawn to the night before Christmas suite the colors in this suite really spoke to me They're kind of different than your traditional Christmas colors, but I really liked it They're kind of funky and eclectic, and I really I think that's really fun One thing that I've loved that Stampin' Up has had the last couple of years are memories and more card packs in these card packs There are fifty four double-sided cards And they come in two different sizes. There's the four by six size and the three by four size and They're double-sided, so they've got designs on each side really cute and fun that coordinate with each other and You get so many of them if you do Pocket scrapbooking. This is great because you can just drop them into your cute pockets But we've really enjoyed making these into cards. They make quick simple easy cards And who doesn't love that especially on the holidays another thing I love about these cards is they're really flat So to mail them it's not a big deal. You can pop it in the mail You don't have to pay the extra postage. They also came out with These cards that coordinate That have this cute star design around and these envelopes They're really nice and thick and they've got that cute design all the way around So let me show you what I've done with this week. I started by making some cards. I Took The smaller cards the three by four and what's so fun about that is the card has a little frame of those stars around it So you can just pop it right on there and I thought it was really fun I also use this ribbon from the same suite. It's cherry cobbler and it's got this cute diagonal stripe on it It's kind of a nice weight and it ties really well and it's got that cool contrast with the white I use that a lot. I also use just some of our regular linen thread And I like the natural color with the cherry cobbler. I feel like that complements it really well So I started with this one. This is just a little oh I forgot to tell you the sticker sheets that come with the memories and more you get six of these So you have a lot to work with with your card and your creations and they're cute They have different things little tags and little stars and candy canes and cute little postage stamps And I thought they were really fun to work with I like instead of making it totally flat It's fun to pop up a little bit with Dimensional so I feel like if you're gonna be making cards and tags with these things Dimensionals are key. Make sure you've got your stamp and dimensionals. So there's my first one Here's another one and this is just one of the four by six cards on the back here layered with one of the three by four cards And they just coordinate so well, and they're really cute. I Thought this one was fun. Here's a sticker from the sticker sheets Let's have a holly-jolly Christmas and I added in some of the blue stars to work and bring that in But it's not Santa. He's just so happy. It's so cute Here's another it was a little different for me to Coordinate the real red with the cherry cobbler colors, but I like it. It's just different and flowed and felt really fun So there's that one. This is cute. Super simple. Have a holly-jolly Christmas And I think this one was my favorite because greens my favorite color warmest wishes and those stars around are just so cute And it's just so simple. It was really quick to make these cards. They coordinate really cute with the envelope So when you're ready to send it, you just pop it in the mail and there you go I wanted to do something more with this because I thought that these were so cute and I'm always looking for a Cute way a way to make your gift even cuter And I think tags are the way to go with that these little three by four cards They're so cute on one side Most of them have a saying or like a sentiment and on the other side It's a little bit more of a monochromatic pattern that you can use and when you're creating your cards So I started with the sayings and I just added some of these little strips of the monochromatic Paper from the other side. So we believe in Santa. I use this really cute ribbon I thought that would tie on really well and I put a piece of whisper white cardstock on the back so you can write your message on the back there of two from or If you want to write a little note and just tie it on to something. I thought that was cute Here's another one. I used the tag from the kit and just popped it up with dimensionals so that it gave it a little bit more dimension Happy everything Mary always cute saying and you can just write on the back This one looked like a letter to me. So I put a little postage stamp there and instead of two from it says to love Super cute. I liked this one. I popped up these little stickers these adhesives here But they're the same print as what's on the card. So it kind of worked out really cute So when I got here to film I was showing Jill the things I had created and she said Beth That is the perfect size for a gift card and she was right I went ahead and put a little strip of paper on the back here And I split a little gift card in there and that is the perfect size and something fun that they've always done for Our family Dan and Jill is if they give gift cards they'll stick them in the Christmas tree with your name on it and it's always in a cute little box or something and So what a fun idea just to stick it here with a cute little sentiment on it and then your gift card in the back So it's not a full card. It's just an easy quick little thing you can do. So let me show you how I did that I'll show you on this one. It's really simple. I already had put the whisper white on the back of this So I cut a little piece this one I cut just to be about one and a half inches wide and a little bit smaller than the actual Card because I didn't want it to hang over the edge with gift cards You don't want to adhere the whole thing around because you want the gift card to slide in there Well, so glue dots work really well for this. I'll just put them on the edges of my piece here And then I'll put them all along the bottom Just a couple so that that little gift card won't slide through then you just set it down on here Push it down. Well, take your gift card slide it right in and it keeps it nice and tight and it's not going anywhere And then it's nice and secure you can put that on your Christmas tree or slide it into someone's stocking or even just take it to their door Let's say Merry Christmas quick easy card and in that kit for $11 you get 54 of these cards so you can make your neighbor gifts. You could make gifts for teachers or for friends Nice quick and easy. That's my goal when it comes to the holidays.
