CHRISTMAS ALBUM OR GIFT CARD HOLDER

July 7, 2021

The question is which will it be? An album or a gift card holder. Over the next couple of weeks for my Facebook live I will be working on an album/gift card holder. 


Several years ago I did a class in which we created the Star Album. One of my customers didn't want a photo album but saw it could be used for another purpose. Each year she struggled to find the perfect gift f for her in-laws for Christmas and each year they would return the gift after Christmas. Wanting to give them a gift that they would appreciate and not return was her motivation for doing the class. She created pockets where we put places for photos. She purchased low cost gift cards, ie $5 at McDonalds. She knew that they loved to go to McDonalds and have a frosty. Just little things that she knew they could use throughout the year and they would appreciate them.


Now is a good time to start this type of thing for that special someone on your list. You can make a small purchase  of a gift card each month without breaking your budget at Christmas. When Christmas rolls around you have your gift all done and paid for.


By the way, they did return the gift, but it was the next year around Christmas and asked for a refill. They really enjoyed the gift!


So I am going to break this down and I will create a part each week. This week we will create the actual book portion.  I will be offering a kit/ class in August where everything will be included and cut for you.

My favorite part of my job is creating. It doesn't always come easy but this month's Paper Pumpkin kit contained beautiful Alcohol Ink papers. The papers were so beautiful and the kit included nine card bases which had the design on the front and back of the card. When cutting them apart you were able to create 18 card fronts. I started designing by cutting them apart and then went from there. Throughout the week I will post 3 cards each day for seven days that were all made with April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Inked Occasions

This is the final card in a series from the Impressions Abloom. If you have not see the others check my blog. This is the first one I created using Timid Tiger but for my Facebook Live I wanted to use the new In Colors.

All this week I will be posting cards created with products remaining from my recent event. This card was inspired by the card below that I created for that event. I had a focus on creating masculine cards and when I was done with the event I had a set of the undone cards remaining. I had received the New Impressions Abloom which is only available if you are a Demonstrator until May 1, 2025. After that date it will be available to anyone. I used the products that were in the packet to create this card. Of course I added a few extra things. I will give you all the instructions on the page including measurements and products used for both projects
