The party has gotten so big over at Sharon’s blog that today “Stamp Simply Celebrates” is spilling right over onto mine!! With Christmas almost here and lots of mailing to do, I think that Gift Cards are one of the best ways to send a little love to family and friends. Well every gift card needs a holder, and there is a template and a whole gallery for inspiration that uses that template over on Splitcoaststampers (SCS). That’s because it was SCS’s Sketch Challenge #101. So your challenge is to make a gift card holder. Now if you have a different design that you like or want to try, no worries. Go for it!

Now I have some really USEFUL Blog Candy that I hope any and everyone can use. Nope… it’s NOT stamps.
Yup!! It’s a gift card! LOL I will send the winner their choice of the two gift card holders above WITH their choice of either of the two gift cards shown!! The first card for Target has a $20 value. The second card for Starbucks also has a $20 value. I’m not a coffee drinker, but I can tell you their hot chocolate can’t be beat!! To enter just leave a comment ON THIS POST. If you play in my challenge, please come back here and leave me a link to your creation! I REALLY want to see them all as I LOVE these little things. Oh and as a fun twist… if you do play and leave me a link here… you will automatically have a second entry for my Blog Candy!! Woohoo!! I will use random.org on Friday, December 12th at midnight PST to pick the winner!
For some wonderful inspiration I have some sample makers!! Check out their beautiful creations:
Janine – 2BKrafty
Jennifer – The Buck Stamps Here
Darlene – Dar’s Crafty Creations
AJ – The Willow Garden
A couple of Christmases ago my DDIL Kimberly and I stamped our hearts out making these fun holders. Here are some that she made.
Here is a peek into the Dirty Dozen Fan Club gallery over on SCS from August of last year. (I had such fun with these. They are scratch ‘n sniff… chocolate and apple scented!)
And here are some others that I have made for wedding or new baby gifts.

Remember: Anyone can play ANY of the challenges by ANY of the hostesses during the 12 days of Stamp Simply Celebrates!!! You DO NOT need to have a Blog to play — uploading your project to SCS (Splitcoaststampers.com) is not only permissible, but HIGHLY ENCOURAGED. When doing so, use the KEYWORD SSC08.
Have a wonderful Sunday! Hope you can play along in my challenge!!! These holders are so quick, so easy and SO FUN!!
