Almost everyone gives gift cards for Christmas.  Today I wanted to share my favorite gift card envelope. I used the Envelope Punch Board by Stampin’ Up!  This envelope is 2″ x 3 1/2″.  It is the smallest size you can make with the Envelope Punch Board.

These are so quick and easy to make, I didn’t stop at one.  I actually made a dozen in less than 30 minutes.

Another favorite for me this year, is the Christmas Nugget Box which contains 3 wrapped Hershey’s Nuggets.  This is a thoughtful gift for those on your list you want to give something, but can’t spend a lot of money.The cute bow on top is made with the Bow Builder punch which happens to be 50% off this week only! Please click Here to see more pictures and directions to make this box.

Please click Here to purchase the Bow Builder punch for $9 instead of the regular $18.  What a great deal!

2015 Thanksgiving Dinner Invitation

2015badge-2

Welcome to the Pals November Blog Hop, we’re so thankful you stopped by.  This month we’re showcasing projects that feature Stampin’ Up! Thanksgiving and “Thank You” products.  We hope you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or you may have come from the previous blog on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you can enjoy each and every beautiful project.

Thanksgivinginvite

I love hosting Thanksgiving!  It’s fun to come up with a unique invitation that will make my guests smile when they retrieve it from their mailbox.  This is my 2015 Thanksgiving invite, so hopefully none of my guests subscribe to my blog. 🙂 That would certainly ruin the surprise since I haven’t mailed them yet.  Actually, I haven’t finished making them yet.  To be totally honest, this is the first one, but I plan to make the rest tomorrow!  Here’s my 2013 and 2014 Thanksgiving Invitations.

Thanksgivinginvite-2

For the inside, I used last year’s Holiday Invitation set and the current Lighthearted Leaves.

I was so excited about this card, I ran around and showed everyone that was at home tonight.  Superman really liked it.  I got back to my stamping office and noticed a smudge on the front of the card.  Kind of a bummer since the blog hop is scheduled to go live in a few hours.  I  decided to do what most stampers do when a card gets smudged.  I covered the front of the card with more “smudges” from Gorgeous Grunge.

Thanksgivinginvite-3

What do you think?  I almost like the smudged card better.  I love hearing from you.  Please leave me a comment or question.

Please subscribe to my blog and soon you’ll get to see the homemade boxes of fudge that will serve as place cards on my Thanksgiving table.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

The Living with Style Blog Hop

Living-With-Style-Blog-Hop-for-Blog

Welcome to our Blog Hop!

This time we are focusing on all things Thanksgiving! Get ready for some great ideas, inspiration, tips, resources and how-to as you move along through the blog hop.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Cristi Wuenschel at The Keeper of the Memories on our Living with Style Blog Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you make sure to see and learn from all of the articles featured here today.

I love hosting Thanksgiving at my house each year!  The first thing I do is send out homemade invitations.  Here’s the invitations I sent the last two years.

The second card is much prettier without the X’s, but since I already have around 25 people coming to Thanksgiving, I didn’t really want to invite anyone else!  🙂

I also like to make a set of place cards for the adult table and a different set for the kids table.  At our house the oldest 12 people are at the adult table and everyone else is a kid, or kid at heart.  Sorry Sean…there are so many people coming this year, you may get demoted.

The adult place cards all had leaves, but you can see each place card was a little different.

The kids all had turkeys, but again each turkey was unique.  I love the googly eyes on the turkeys.

Last year I decided to make place card/treat combos.  The adults got my husband’s delicious homemade fudge.  At the State Fair Steve always wins second place in every fudge category he enters, so I tease him he’s the Second Best Fudge Maker in Iowa.  Even second best is honestly quite a feat in Iowa!

Last year the Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin (Monthy subscription craft box) included these pie shaped boxes.  We poured Steve’s fudge into pie pans and everyone got a pie shaped slice of fudge to take home.

The kids got these Curvy Keepsake Box turkeys filled with Reese Peanut Butter cups.  I think most of the turkeys went home empty, but they loved having their names on the turkeys.

I also enjoy making little treats at Thanksgiving for my kid’s teachers and friends.  Here’s a box that fits a full size Snickers or Milky Way.

Another box I’m giving away this year, is made with the Square Pillow Box Thinlit Die.
