Happy Holidays Slimline Card + Kat Scrappiness

12/3/2021

🎄 Happy Holidays 🎄

It's December ya'll with record breaking 70* happening today in the south,
which I'm not complaining, but the calendar says
Christmas is right around the corner.
Are you making Holiday cards or ready for mailing?
Well, I've got some cards made, but not ready to mail just yet!
That's ok! We still have time to make some cards!
Or send New Years cards! Your friends and family are just thrilled to get a handmade card and to hear from you any time of year!
But if you are mailing cards or packages here are the
Christmas Shipping Deadlines:
USPS (post office)
December 17 - First Class Mailing
December 18 - Priority Mailing
December 23 - Overnight and 2-Day Air

PS: I recommend UPS, it may cost a bit more, but will get it there,
usually faster too!

🎄

Todays project is a wonderful holiday faux shaker card, easy to make
and flat for mailing too! Remember if your envelope is bulky,
you'll need extra postage.
Included is this fun die to make your own envelopes too! I used a few fun Kat Scrappiness dies, pattern papers (great use of scraps), a little alcohol marker coloring, and a few hole punch embellishments made from glitter cardstock scraps.
These dies are so fun and versatile for the holidays or any time of year!

Gift Card Holders or Treat Holders with Huggable Critters

I started with the Huggable Critters Fri Die set that includes an egg shape body, feet, ears, tails and more. AND a coordinating stamp set that includes faces, whiskers, feet, and paws too! It's just darling. You will have tons of fun creating with these. I did! The possibilities are endless.

I used colored cardstock and cut out all the "egg shaped" body parts, "feet" and "hand" parts with a Big Shot. And die cut from plaid patterned paper for the ears, tails, and paws. It was very fun to mix and match solids and prints. But I do suggest you make one body at a time, so you don't lose or mix up body parts. It is easy to do! (lol) And since I was making several, I made little piles of the die cuts until I was ready to glue.

Next using the cute little coordinating stamps in this set, I chose the eyes, noses, or whiskers and stamped their faces directly onto the egg bodies with black ink. Then glued all the parts in place with a clear glue.

I also, die cut some extra bunny tails and colored and turned into flowers; colored and cut extra whiskers for flower stems; and cut extra hearts out for the critters to hold. Added glitter glue to some to make them sparkle and complete these adorable huggable critters. You're going to love these! They are so much fun for so many occasions!

And I could totally stop there and adhere these bodies to a card base...but no. Today, I'm turning these little darlings into gift card holders for my kids for Easter. Or they could also hold some yummy treats for your sweets too!

I'm a big fan of recycling, reusing, and re-purposing. And today I'm using paper towel holders cut in half as my holders. Or your local big box craft store sells these rolls brand new too. I kept these rather simple, as all my cuteness will be on the front.

I cut patterned paper in 4x6" strips and adhered around the paper towel roll and added a piece of ribbon with adhesive. To keep the bottom closed I fold in the ends and pinched it in a little. Or you can add a sticker, an eyelet, brad, or even a staple would work to keep the bottom closed if your going to fill it with treats. But a gift card should be fine with or without anything on the bottom.

Next I added a strip of good bonding adhesive down the back of the holder and adhered a huggable critter and filled with gift cards. Aren't these adorable??? Now you too can make puppies, kitties, bunnies, and there is a bear in the set too! So versatile for Easter, Birthdays, Graduations, Baby cards/showers, and more.
My kids are going to flip when they see this darling critters and yours will too!!! Happy Shopping at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "here."

Happy Spring & Thanks for stopping by! ~Kim

Hi everybody! This week I'm designing over on the Craft Fantastic Blog sharing a few tips on how to use Craft Fantastic products to create special holiday cards in a flash. Really! There are hundreds of images to choose from, so the possibilities are endless for cards, layouts, tags, planners, jewelry gifts and more.

To make the process faster I started with these gorgeous *NEW* Luxe-Line cards/envelopes in off-white (available in white and other kits) as the base of these holiday cards. And let me tell you, these blank cards are beautiful and a nice sturdy cardstock. You will love them. As well as, I used a pack of 4x6 scrapbooking journaling cards, and Craft Fantastic images and products. And that's it.
