3 Ways to Gift your Handmade Cards

While looking for ways to give away my handmade cards

I decided to start by giving to those I love. During my LIVE with Paper Pumpkin on facebook I shared 3 different ways I am doing this this Christmas season.

What a fabulous day and time I spent with so many of you my beautiful friends. Thank you!

My video will be up soon on Youtube! For the moment being I want to give you a sneak peak into my creative process! If you are on facebook feel free to go watch the video here! Otherwise come back to this post later on to watch on Youtube yay! Be patient with me as my baby and family (at home every day bec of covid) need me most than ever.


Idea #1  Place them all inside a cute envelope

I found some pretty Designer Series Paper in my retired box and it coordinates so well with the Jolly Gingerbread Paper Pumpkin kit I made a cute tag, added some trim and cone deal. To learn hgow I created this envelope watch my video below. The envelope punch tool can be found here in my Craft Tools Kit!



Find it here on my amazon affiliated link.




Idea #2 Use your Paper Pumpkin Box and embellish

Turning a Paper Pumpkin box inside out is fun and easy. these boxes are sturdy enough to mail your gift, in this case I created one and embellish it to give personally. The tag was inspired by the Jolly Gingerbread Paper Pumpkin kit (November 2020).




Idea #3 Use a cellophane bag and create a cute top

This has been one of my favorite ways of gifting my cards through the years.
Add several cards and envelopes inside a 6" x 8" cellophane bag and create a cute topper. Here Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight took center stage as some of the current Stampin'Up! 2020-2022 In-Colors. Hooe you are inspired to give away some cards. Check my video to get a peak into how I organized my handmade cards getting them ready to give away. 








Check my video to see how I made this card holding a 
cute ornament for a friend.

Paper Pumpkin Jolly Gingerbread: Giveaway!

 

Monday LIVE

Today is Monday and we are LIVE with Paper Pumpkin and truly feeling so gratefuk! 

Hope you had a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend. Being hoe during these days of pandemia I decided to keep working as able organizing my craft room. Part of that was opening boxes of cards. Cards made by me, cards received by friends, cards unfinsihed! 

The ones that filled my heart with such gratefulness were the ones I received from so many of you my followers during this 2020 year full of challenges. You can watch the video here! Otherwise come back to this post later on to watch on Youtube yay!


Would you #shareablessing? 

During the Facebook LIVE today I had the privilege of sharing some beautiful cards received by my friend and fellow stamper Deedee Cavanaugh. You can see them here! She has always been so encouraging and beautiful to me! I was so inspired by her crafting that decided to CASE a card she made me using the Paper Pumpkin kit Jolly Gingerbread. Hope you enjoy it!



I then encouraged everyone to mail a card to Deedee's mama (a beautiful Italian 85 year old blessing who is recovering from a broken leg in rehab at this moment). Deedee, the youngest of 5 siblings, has been taking care of her mama, Minnie, for many years and now faithfully loves on her while she struggles with dementia. One thing I KNOW, Minnie enjoys receiving encouraging cards and I'm sure would love seeing some cards from us.


Here is the Address:

Minnie Cavanaugh

604 Boston Rd.

Mattydale, NY

13211





Giveaway!

In my video tutorial I shared one of my simple tools when filling up and envelope for a friend. Is a Simply Write Stencil you can see here. I will be sending one to my friend Deedee and another to one sweet stamper from the ones who share a card with Minnie, Deedee's mom. Go ahead and #shareablessing

When you send leave me a comment on my facebook group under the video or in my -soon to be posted- youtube video here to be added to the giveaway. Will announce winner this coming Monday December 7, 2020.
