Holiday Packaging/ Gift Giving Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly Creativity Abounds Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you.  We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own.

If you’re looking for a fun, creative, and truly unique way to present a gift card, these little gift card holders are my all-time favorite—and I think they’ll become yours too! This design is completely original, and the finished project looks like an adorable miniature gift bag with “tissue paper” peeking out the top. It’s the perfect way to turn a simple gift card into something memorable.

One of the best parts? You can make these using any Designer Series Paper you already have in your stash. Whether you prefer bold patterns, elegant florals, or festive holiday prints, this project adapts beautifully.

The full tutorial bundle includes 13 different projects, each with detailed measurements and step-by-step directions. Where else can you get written instructions for about a dollar per project? It’s an incredible value—and a wonderful resource for crafters of all levels.

With clear measurements and easy-to-follow steps, this gift card holder comes together quickly. I’ve made dozens of them myself, and I know you’ll enjoy creating them just as much. Your friends and family will love receiving them, too! You’ll receive it free with a $35 order- order here, or you can purchase it for $15 here.

Here’s my easy Kit Kat Treat Holder that I made for today’s blog hop.

Do you prefer the elf or the snowman? The are both from the Festive Friends Bundle.

Autumn Sampler

Stampin Up Fall Sampler designed by demo Beth McCullough and her Joy Club. Please see more fun fold cards and more at https://stampingmom.com/autumn-sampler/

Every couple months my Joy Club makes Samplers for a holiday or season. These Autumn Samplers are so very pretty! I display my Samplers in a 12″ x 12″ Michaels Shadow Box frame that I switch out monthly.

Stampin Up Fall Sampler designed by demo Beth McCullough and her Joy Club. Please see more fun fold cards and more at https://stampingmom.com/autumn-sampler/

Each person creates nine copies of the same square. We agree on the colors ahead of time. Getting nine different squares to coordinate happens by using a select group of Stampin Up coordinating colors.

After we receive our nine different squares, we typically add a 3-1/4″ layer which also helps with the color coordination. The 12″ x 12″ background piece is usually colored cardstock, DSP, or if it’s white, I use the back of a DSP pack. We would love to have you join us!

Welcome to another Festive Friday Challenge! The inspiration for our challenge is National Family Week! The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about National Family Week at all! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us! From the Inspo List I used bright colors, patterned paper, photo frame and scrapbooking.

I love giving out Random Act of Kindness Treats. These contain a Hershey’s Nugget. I love the sentiment, “Choose JOY.” These are inexpensive and easy to make, so you can give out even more treats. I bought a family size package of Hershey Nugget Milk Chocolate with Almonds because I wanted a gold foil wrapped Nugget.

  • Look for beauty and meaning: Even when facing hardship, make space for pleasure, connection, and the beauty in your life. 
  • Be responsible for your feelings: Acknowledge that you are responsible for your own happiness and take steps to cultivate it.
