Quick and Easy Christmas Projects - Day 1

Hi everyone.  Christmas will be here before we know it.  The last 11 years I've blogged about last minute Christmas ideas you could make in under 60 minutes.  Well, it's that time again and I've got some new projects to share.

Today I'm sharing 2 gift card holders.

I dislike giving gift cards at the holidays, but sometimes, it is the only gift that will do.

Why not create the perfect "card" for those gift cards.

Cut green cardstock 4 1/4" x 11".

Score at 2 1/4" and 5 1/2".

Punch a half circle on the smaller panel and add some tape along the edges.

Fold on both scores, creating a pocket with the smaller fold.

Add pattern paper inside and a Christmas sentiment.

Create another card using red cardstock.

Slip a gift card in the pocket.

Cut cardstock and pattern paper to fit the card base.

For the card front, cut cardstock  3 7/8" x 5 1/4".

Cut pattern paper slightly smaller.

Adhere to the pocket side.

Decorate as desired with assorted die cuts.

Mrs. Claus was perfect for the front of this gift card.

Add a simple phrase to the front panel.

Scor-Pal Wishing You a Merry Christmas

Hi everyone, it's a new month and the challenge on the Scor-Pal blog is to create anything you want, just be sure it includes more than one score. It's almost Christmas so I created a card and coordinating envelope.

For the card, cut 1 piece of cardstock 7" x 6 1/2".

Score at 6 1/2" and fold.

Place Scor-Tape along the folded edge.

Cut another piece of cardstock 6 1/2" x 6 1/2".
Assemble together to create the card.

Create a scene on a circle die cut panel with stamps and die cuts.

Place Scor-Tape along the circular die cut.

Assemble the card.

For the envelope, cut pattern paper 10" x 10".

Using the Scor-Envie, place it in the right corner of the Scor-Pal.

Lay the paper against the Scor-Envie, score at 9 3/8" and 2 3/8".

Rotate and score again.

Cut out the small pieces where the scored lines intersect.

Fold on the score lines.

Add Scor-Tape to the bottom corner edges.

Decorate the front with die cuts and stamps.

The card fits easily into the envelope.

This would be a card you give to someone special at Christmas.

You wouldn't mail it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Scor-Pal Christmas Boxes

 Hi everyone, it's a new month and the challenge on the Scor-Pal blog is to create anything you want, just be sure it includes more than one score.

I created these adorable treat baskets with dies from Pixie Dust.

Cut cardstock 7 1/2" x 7 1/2".

Score at 2 1/2" and 5".

Rotate and score again.

Cut along the score lines on both sides of the panel.

Fold on the score lines.

Add Scor-Tape to the center panels.

Fold the outside panels, adding more Scor-Tape as needed to create the box.

Once the box is complete, cut a 1" x 12" strip of cardstock and adhere for the handle.

Die cut the Pixie Dust elements and assemble.

Add Scor-Tape to the backside of each piece and add to the boxes.

Aren't they adorable?????

Thanks for stopping by.
