25 Days of Christmas 2015 - Day 17 - A Christmas Carol Gift Card Holders

Hello again Crafty Bloggers...... and welcome to Day 17 of our Christmas countdown. It's now a week till Christmas Eve. A WEEK!!!!! Is panic setting in?

If you're like me, you might have friends or relatives on your gift list who are either really hard to buy for or who are saving towards a special something.... and that's when gift cards come in really handy.
You can pop one of these into an envelope with their Christmas card, or purchase the little cardboard envelopes that the shops sell for them.......... or you can do something really special and give the cards a personal touch by making your own gift card holders.

Team Designer Fiona did just that...... using Graphic 45's A Christmas Carol papers.
Feast your eyes...........

Wow! How special is that!? I'll never just pop a gift card into a plain envelope again!!!
Thank you Fiona!

25 Days of Christmas 2015 - Day 9 - More Christmas Carol Cards!

Hi Crafty Bloggers!

We had so much fun drooling over Deb's 'A Christmas Carol' cards yesterday, I thought I'd stay on theme with some more cards featuring this collection. Today Guest Designer Fiona shows us some of her card creations........

Wow! Thanks Fiona!
I have to say, I'm loving this collection more each day. And I adore what our talented designers have created with it.

25 Days of Christmas 2015 - Day 8 - A Christmas Carol Cards

Hi Crafty Bloggers and welcome to another Inspiration Session! Today Guest Designer and Sometime Road Tester Deb from A Time to Stamp shows us some gorgeous (and very clever) cards featuring Graphic 45's A Christmas Carol.

Feast your eyes!..........

This Bendi Card was inspired by Lori Williams.
You can find instructions to create your own Bendi Card HERE

Love them?? I do!

It's funny, but when I first unpacked A Christmas Carol I have to say I wasn't very impressed (SHOCK HORROR I hear you say!!).... I thought the papers were too dark and busy.
However, the more projects I see from our talented Designers, the more I come to love this collection!

So thank you Deb for sharing. And you know what they say.... imitation is a form of flattery.....I think I may have to totally plagiarize a couple of your cards ;)
