Treat Holder
Circle Card Thinlits Dies and Best of Christmas Gift Card Holder
I used the new Circle Card Thinlits Dies and Envelope Punch Board from Stampin’ Up! to create a quick little gift card holder to share with you today. I made two similar money holder cards a few weeks ago and you can see them here. I told you that I loved the new Best of Christmas stamp set, now I have even more reasons to love it…the Dasher fits perfectly inside the layered circle on the Circle Card Thinlits Dies!

Envelope Punch Board Money Holder Tutorial & New Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit
After making the long narrow card that I shared with you yesterday, the idea to create a money holder card using the Envelope Punch Board popped into my head. I created a holiday and a birthday version and I’m sharing a quick tutorial showing you the size and scoring points. I’m putting this out on my Tutorials page as well so that you can find it back quickly when you need it.
My holiday money holder card front was inspired by Retrosketches #82 and I used the Very Merry Tags and Wishing You stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create it.
