December Sheetload Birthday Cards (and a Holiday Gift Card Holder!!)

Hello crafty friends ...

Since I like to share mostly holiday projects in December I have added a Christmas Gift Card Holder below the Birthday Cards. I finished my December Sheetload of cards last week but didn't want to wait until the New Year to share them ... this month's Sheetload is another winner! I have a walk through of my cards on YouTube HERE. 

The first three Birthday Cards were done pretty close to the sketch, although I chose not to add a fish tail banner popped up on foam tape rather than the punched border tucked into the bottom panel.

I made all nine into Birthday Cards, as I donate 25 Birthday Cards a month to my Mom's old nursing home. Each month I like to include some feminine, some masculine and some generic and I think these ones are both masculine and somewhat generic. The next three cards got some punched sunbursts and die cut stars.

The final three have layered stars. I also included some of the stickers included in the paper package.

I used my MISTI for all the stamping, and all the interiors are done the same.

As I mentioned above, I have holiday projects to share in December so I'm also going to share a Gift Card Holder! This is an A2 sized mug shaped card by Trinity Stamps and there is a piece that cuts slots to insert a Gift Card holder as well. I used some sparkly patterned paper from my stash.

I made this one for my brother, who works shift work. He has to drive right by a McDonald's on the way out of his neighbourhood and often swings into the drive through for a coffee for his drive to work. 

The label on the left is where we wrote a message to him, and the snowflakes were in my stash. I don't know where they came from but they were likely Cricut cut many years ago.

I packaged this up in a clear cello envelope which just adds to the shimmer and shine.
