Redbox Promo Code Gift Cards

I needed a couple of small Christmas gifts this year and wanted to do something a little different than give gift cards. I purchased some Redbox movie promo codes here (emailed them to myself), then using Photoshop and digital design elements from Echo Park, I made these coupon booklets. I printed the designs on heavy cardstock and then trimmed them to 3" x 4.25".  I used my Bind-It-All and added a charm to finish them. Cute, quick and easy!

Here's a few pictures of some of the elements I used:

Baby Shower Gift Tags

My daughter and I went to a baby shower on Sunday. We took gifts for the mom, dad and new baby ... so I made tags for each. The tags were made using Tag, Bag, Boxes & More.

The 'for' is from Cake Basics, sized and welding using my Gypsy. The 'mom' and 'dad' cuts are from Beyond Birthdays.

 The 'baby' cut is from Gypsy Wandering.

The papers and card stock are from Stampin' Up. I added a little doodling and self-adhesive pearls and gems. Quick and easy!!

Gifts for the Girls

I needed a little something for the women I work with, so I decided to make them some sugared hand scrub. I got the recipe for this from Carrie at Greenbean's Crafterole. Check out her blog ... she has some great projects.  For my containers, I used 4oz jelly jars. The scalloped circles and holly leaves are from the Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge. The 'berries' are frosted gems from Martha Stewart. The labels are computer generated, cut with Nestibilities and tied on with a little Stampin' Up ribbon. Quick, easy, fun-to-make, impressive  ... what more could you ask for! Thanks for stopping by.

Our Shower Gift For Sarah

I made this for a wedding shower gift. I started with three cake plates (small, medium and large) that I got from Pier One. I stacked them and used a little hot glue on their bases to keep them from sliding around. I found some brightly colored kitchen towels that I  rolled into 'cinnamon roll' shapes and placed them on the stand. I added some curly ribbon, then wrapped it all in cellophane and tied it up with lots more curly ribbon. 

The gift card is 3" x 3". I used the butterfly from the Create a Critter cartridge. I cut the base twice and attached just the bodies together to give it a 3D look. The sentiment is a Whiff of Joy stamp.
