Easy gift holder

I really like giving gift cards as gifts and it is always more fun to have a cute little holder for them.  This one uses the Jolly Holiday designer series paper and was inspired by a project again from Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Edition.

 and the inside with the pocket.

Quick Get Well gift

My dad is in the hospital this week and I wanted to bring him a little something more than a card when we went to visit.  I had purchased these cute little jars a long time ago and just had them sitting in the future projects pile. 

I decorated it with the Autumn Spice specialty paper, waffle paper, Big designer button, hemp twine, 1 1/4 inch Old Olive grosgrain striped ribbon and the Word play stamp set.

Of course I didn't leave it empty, we filled it with fall colored M & M's that we picked up on the way to see him.

Create with Connie and Mary Holiday edition has their challenge up for the week and it is to use the colors from the Deck the Halls Designer series paper and to make a one of a kind card for a special person. 

This is what I came up with and I even used glitter - not something I use often at all because I don't like the mess :)

 I used the Peaceful Season stamp set (hostess level 2 in mini catalog) on both the outside and inside.  Lately, I have been experimenting more with the waffle paper too and really like that it is so easy to work with.
