Care Packages

Okay, this is not stamping related, but I thought you might enjoy this anyway.
 
 
 
I’m getting excited that both my kids will be home this weekend for an entire week!  They’re both in college in the Twin Cities and it’s finals week.  I decided to send them each a care package with some home made goodies, so I started out with these fun snowflake cookies…
 
 
and then I decided that some goofy snowmen would get them smiling…
 

and I finished off their package with some home made fudge!

Gift Card Packaging

 
With just over a week until Christmas, the push is on.  The tree is decorated, I got some baking done (more to do yet) I think I’ve got all the gifts bought, so it’s onto the wrapping now.  Some gifts this year will be gift cards and I like to make them look pretty and special.  This pretty package is actually a gift card holder.  check it out!
 
 
When you lift the flap the gift card pops up out of the package. 
How cute is that?!?  I know, you want to know how I did that right?
Well here are the dimensions with a few photos to help you out. 
 
 
Cut Designer Paper 9 1/4″ tall x 5 1/4″ wide.
Score the long side at 1 1/2″ and 6″.
Score the short side at 1/2″ and 4 3/4″.
Cut the pieces out as shown and fold on score lines.
Apply Sticky Strip to flaps.
 
 
For the Gift Card Pop Up cut card stock 3 1/4″ tall x 3 3/4″ wide.
Score at 3/8″ and apply sticky strip.
 
 
Attach flap of Gift Card Pop Up about 1/2″ from top edge of designer paper on inside.  Peel sticky strip from side flaps and fold package up.
Decorate the outside as desired.  I used more Season of Style DSP, Burlap Ribbon, Cherry Cobbler Ribbon and the Christmas Tagables Bundle.
