Gift Card Holders by GenCraft

I love the way these turned out! So festive and perfect for gift giving!


For this one I used Echo Park Merry Christmas - Christmas Carol, Christmas Countdown, Jolly Stripe and the Element Stickers. The gorgeous trim is Webster's Pages that I found in my stash.


For this one I used Echo Park Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays, Christmas Argyle, Home for the Holidays, Jolly Stripe and the Element Stickers. The trim and pearls are from my stash.


For this one I used Echo Park Merry Christmas - Winter Wonderland, Home for the Holidays, Christmas Carol, Merry Border Strip and 'Tis the Season Card Paper. The bloom is a Petaloo Poinsettia Blossom. The leaves, trim and pearls are from my stash.


Simply unwrap the ribbon...

... and find a gift inside! The card measures 6x6. I scored and folded a 8 1/2" x 12" sheet of paper in half one way (6") and 2 1/2" the other way to make the pocket. I cut on the score lines on the left side of the card (for the sentiment) and adhered just the sides on the right to make the pocket. Super easy and it takes care of the card and the gift at the same time! The perfect time saver!

Happy Crafting!

Spooky Halloween Village

Happy Friday! It's definitely TGIF for me! It's been a long week!

Today we have a little inspiration from yours truly! It's my absolute favorite holiday and I can't let it go by without making something! I picked up this fun 3D house die from Sizzix for my Big Shot Pro machine and I knew that I needed to make a Halloween Village with it - so I did! I used Bo Bunny Whoo-ligans papers and some Element Stickers from Basic Grey and Echo Park. Take a look:

Halloween Village by Me - Floren

Okay, so not so spooky! These are too cute to be spooky! Here are some close-ups:


The house is Bo Bunny Whoo-ligans Batty with some black cardstock from my stash. The striped sticker on the roof and the bat are from the Echo Park Happy Halloween collection.


The house is Bo Bunny Whoo-ligans Dot (both sides) and the sticker elements are from Basic Grey Eerie.




This house is plain black with Bo Bunny Whoo-ligans Boo accents. All of the Element Stickers are from Basic Grey Eerie.


This photo looks spooky! I used a black background and the colors just came out so perfect! Fun!

I have one of those battery-powered flickering tea-light candles. You know, one of these:

...that I put inside the purple house! It's hard to see in a photo, but it's such a neat effect! Can you see it in there:


See it shining in the bottom window? The candle flickers and it looks really cool!
