Super Sweet, Super Easy Place Setting

 As I said, I'll be going backwards to post projects made over the past few months, in order to catch up on my long neglected blogging! These place card settings were originally made for the Holiday Hoopla 2012 event that Deb, Cathy and I held way back in November. Needless to say they made an appearance at several parties after that day. So quick and simple to make (thanks to the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Die, and Ornament Keepsake Stamp Set which are both still available to order) and so sweet with the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, and the Jewelery Tag Medium Punch which was topped off with a gold thread bow and a (retired) tiny jingle bell. They were well received by all!

Christmas Countdown 2012 Swaps

 Good morning everyone! These were the Christmas Countdown Swaps I created for our 2012 team swap. Once again, I used the Jacob's Ladder technique. In the photos below, you'll see that whether you open the cards bottom up, or top down, the ribbons will hold the gift cards in place. They're truly a cool card to play with!

This is how I packaged my gift card. We are to make the packaging simple, and so I wanted to show you that with only 1 stamp, and a few scraps of paper, even a plain white envie can turn into a pretty little gift package! Love it!
