Three Tiered Nested Card Christmas Card

Some how this holiday season has gotten a bit away from me.  I haven't made all that many cards for sending out.  I usually like to send a card to all my crafty friends, so I needed to get busy and crafting.  In the end I made 16 of these cards.

Hand Sanitizer Holder

The other day I bought some of the Bath and Body Works Mini Hand Sanitizer to give as Christmas gifts to the girls dance teachers.  I decided that I wanted to have a fun way to wrap it and thanks to google I came up with this.  I had to modify the original pattern in order to fit the case that the sanitizer goes in, but it's a super easy and fun project.  Here's the link to the blog that has the instructions.

I also added a little gift card to the gift and made a super simple holder which I ended up attaching to the back.

Supplies: Paper: DCWV (Christmas Stack and Christmas Cardstock Stack); Ink: TH (Mowed Lawn); Punch: MS (Optic Dot with corner), SU (Word Window, 3/4" Circle, 1 1/4" Scallop Circle), CM (Corner); Ribbon: SU (Trim Tinsel) & Celebrate It; Embossing Powder: Ranger (Seafoam White); Misc: Scor-Pal & Scor-Tape

Card Exchange - Three Tiered Card

Every year in December the Stampin' Up Club that I belong to does a card exchange.  There are no rules about the what you make for the card, you can use any products you like.  This year I was late starting my card and was worried about what I'd make.  After checking out Pinterest I came across a Three Tiered Nested Pull Card.  This seemed like such a fun card, so I decided I would go with this one.  I also knew that I wanted to make a paper flower for this card.  I am really pleased with the end results!!!

Last month I was making some Purse Gift Card Holder's for an exchange and my daughter Chloe thought there were so cute.  After she asked and asked, I gave in and said I'd make her the purse holders for her birthday invitations.  I was glad to get the done early as I don't know if I'll have time in November to make anything.  Instead of a gift card we put in an accordion folded invitation.
