Today's project is a Christmas gift card holder with the Christmas Gleaming Cling Stamp Set (En) [150464] and the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper [153487].

There are usually several on my gift list who prefer gift cards and I am happy to oblige especially since it's another opportunity to create something special for the gift card...a unique presentation. 

Even if you are not in need of gift card holders, you can use these ideas for Christmas cards or even as a tag on a wrapped gift.

This is a simple one and it will just take a few minutes to watch the video and then a few minuted to make one yourself!

For this week's Facebook Live, my husband, Jackie, and I teamed up for another "kit together" for some beautiful DIY Christmas Gift Tags. 

This kit from the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog is called appropriately, Tag Buffet.  There is a coordinating stamp set sold separately but honestly, you can create these tags and use on your Christmas gifts without the stamped sentiments.

Originally, I had asked Jackie to just punch out the tags and images and sort them for me.  When he asked if I wanted him to put them together, of course, I wasn't going to turn him down.  Here's the video from the Wednesday Craft & Chat on Facebook. 

In the video, you saw that you can also use these tags to make Christmas cards. 
Here is a look at those cards which would be great for sending to family or friends!

Here is a Stampin' Up! Supply Listing so you can get started!

• Shaded Spruce 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146981] is cut 1/2 x 3-3/4 for the border strip and you will need at 3 x 4 piece if you decide to die cut a Tasteful Labels Dies [152886] for behind the stocking.
• ‘Tis The Season 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper [153489] is cut 3-3/4 x 2.

Today was a "kit together" on Facebook with the 2020 Stampin' Up! Christmas Countdown presented by my hubs, Jackie, with me as his assistant!

It was a fun time and he did a fantastic job!  Here's the video for you to see!

See how easy that is!  What a great activity to do with your children or grandchildren, right? 

Here are some ideas for fillers:

• Little ornaments
• Candy
• Scripture verses
• Fun activity ideas to do each day
• A Christmas carol to sing each day
• Prayer intentions

I am sure you can think of other ideas, too!

Here is the finished project of what Jackie decided to put on the reverse side.

It's time to get your kit!  It's right HERE in the online store.

Your countdown to Christmas will be extra special and it will be the work of your or your loved ones hands.

There is a sweet group of stamps and dies coming your way with Stampin' Up! Curvy Celebrations!

This group of fun supplies that includes the early release Quite Curvy bundle from the next Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog and also has two exclusive products for the holidays, the Curvy Christmas stamp set and the Classic Christmas 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.  These last two items with the holiday theme will only be available from November 3rd- January 4th.  More details are coming next week!

In the meantime, here is the recording of the LIVE video from Facebook on Wednesday which includes the making of the card above and a fun gift box!

Lisa's Inklings:

Card...

• Base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2.
• Die cut curvy layer is 5-3/8 x 4-1/8.
• Designer paper is 5-3/8 x 4-1/8.

Box...

• 4 x 4 piece of Whisper White and Poppy Parade for die cut circles.

Be sure to stay tuned for more information on Curvy Celebrations.  See the flyer HERE.

Now that you've seen the video, hop over to Facebook to follow my Ink and Inspirations with Lisa Brown page for more inspiration and fun!  See you there!

Getting socks for Christmas is not always fun but with this unique gift packaging with a fun technique, the gift will be extra special.

Of course, after watching the video you may think of many other ideas and gifts that would be just as fun in the packaging idea. 

Let's take a look at the video which first aired last Wednesday on my Craft & Chat on Facebook.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Trimming The Town Designer Series Paper [153491] is cut with two pieces at  5-1/2 x 2-1/8 and two pieces at 2-5/8 x 2-1/8.
• Cut coordinating strips of this designer paper with two pieces at 1/2 x 5-1/2 and two pieces at 1/2 x 2-5/8.
• Be sure to watch the video for the technique with the 6" X 8"  Cellophane Bags [102210].
• Ribbon to tie cello packaging is cut at about 8" for each of the four pieces.
• I think it's best to wrap the ribbon around the carrier and partially tying the bow before cutting.  Better to have too much than too little and everyone ties bows differently.

Do you know someone who will enjoy receiving a gift in this packaging? Here's what you'll need.
