Gift Card Holder Inspired by Tresa Black......

Happy Tuesday!!  I wanted to share with you all the SUPER CUTE gift card holder that Tresa Black made on one of her live you stream shows a few weeks back.  I LOVED everything about it, so used the same stamp set "A Timber" as she did to create the dimensional tree.

This is a GREAT project for ANY occasion!  I am patiently waiting for CTMH's Spring/Summer Idea Book to come out so I can make a few more of these using the brand spanking new products!

Until then.....I have pulled out a couple of retired paper packs to create my holder.  If you LOVE the papers, you might be able to find them on ebay......  The stamp set is current and available as are the sparkles that I used on each tree.

If you would like the dimensions and to watch a how-to video, check out Tresa's blog!

Supplies used: 

Paper: "Aspen" and "Just Chillin' "

Stamps: A Timber

Inks: Outdoor Denim, Lagoon and Vineyard Berry

Embellishments: Creme Brulee Ribbon and Sparkles

Tools: Soft Set Eyelet Tool, SU! Border Punch, Martha Stewart Border Punch, 1 1/4 SU! Circle Punch, Trimmer with Scoring Blade

Thanks for stopping by!!

I hope that this has inspired you to make a few of these for any occasion!

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!

3 Ring Binder Mini Album using Mistletoe

I found the instructions to create this Mini Album on Tresa Black's Blog, then followed all 5 you tube videos to make the interactive pages including instructions on how to make the super cool "ruffled ribbon".  This is the link to her first video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuk-h8NUzuY

I was SO excited to find that I still had my 3 Ring Binder that I purchased when they first became available through Close to my Heart!!  I knew that it was a cool mini album, just did not realize the potential that it had!  Thanks to Tresa for seeing the potential and MORE, I have a super cute gift!

Thanks SO much Tresa for your videos and the detailed instructions to make this!  I LOVE the way it turned out and can't wait to make more!
