Christmas Class Projects! Ho! Ho! Ho!

I'm soooo behind in posting the Holiday projects from my classes and other projects so for the next few days, I'll get some of them posted.

The first set of photos are the cards from a Christmas Card class

Santa! Ho! Ho! Ho!

The first card is my favorite. 

Not only is it a shaker card, but it is also a gift card holder!

Cutting Dimensions
Real Red Cardstock:
 (1) 4 1/4" x 11".  Score at 1 1/4" & 5 1/2"  and (1) 4" x 4"
Whisper White Cardstock:
(1) 4" x 5 1/4" (inside stamping piece)  (1) 4" x 4" (use for die cutting the Santa front)

Inside the front flap is the pocket to hold a gift card.

If you don't need a gift card holder, you can simply make the base a little shorter and not include the gift card flap on the end.

Metallic Snowflakes

When I saw Carolyn King's metallic snowflake card here, I knew I wanted to CASE it.  I cut my paper at a steeper angle and used a different sentiment.

It's a simple card but packs a huge WOW factor with the metallic paper and heat embossing.

Warm Winter Mittens

I LOVE these mitten dies!  They are so much fun and have so many variations!

I cased this card from another demonstrator's blog.  I'm sure I have it on a Pinterest board and now can't find it.  Do you go back to find your pins and can't find them?  If I find it, I'll come back in to edit the post to give her credit.

Gift Card/Treat Favor

This little triangle box is so stinkin' cute and super easy to make!

I found directions on Sam Hammond's blog.  She calls it a "tent box".   If you ever have need of a small gift box or a cute box to hold a gift card, this is perfect!  It is great for filling with a bit of candy too!

Before sliding on the cover, the inside box can be filled with candy, a small gift or a gift card.
