Santa, Snowman and Elf Gift Cards

I have just made a last minute gift for my 3 children.  I think they will love them, a Santa, Snowman and Elf Gift Card Holders!  I bought some Gift Cards from my local supermarket and thought it would be nice for them to buy something themselves in the sales after Christmas.

I have cut all the elements using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue (99.00 Dollar Special) cutting machine which took roughly 30 minutes to resize and cut out!

They are incredibly easy to make using the LD Teabag Envelope (CP) and LD Buckles (SS).

The Teabag was resized to 9.5" by 3.5" to fit the gift card using my Pazzles InVue software.  The Buckle was resized to 1.5" and rectangular strip 8" x .6968" for the belt. (Measurements and inspiration for this project provided by LD)

I secured the tabs using glue and secured the belt at the back using double sided tape, so I could easily remove to open and reveal the gift card inside.

Cutting Supplies:-

Pazzles Electronic Cutting Machine – Inspiration Vue ($99 special price)

LD Teabag Envelope (CP) - Cut Project Set
LD Buckles (SS) - Cut It Set

I may have one more project before the Christmas festivities begin ~ Joanna x

Santa and Elf Candy Tubes

I love making packaging at this time of the year and nothing could be easier than creating Christmas gifts for the kids.  I have made these super easy Santa and Elf Candy Tubes filled with Jelly Beans.

I created a belly band out of black cardstock and cut a buckle using my Pazzles Inspiration (99.00 Dollar Special) cutting machine with glittered vinyl.  They were secured around the Candy Tube using double sided tape.

I added two white buttons on each of the Candy Tubes using my electronic cutter with white cardstock.  I then secured  my SRM Christmas Sticker sentiments to the top of the tubes using Trendy Twine in coordinating colours.

I know the kids are going to love these and they are cheap to make as the tubes only stand 2.5" high.  With the aid of my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine I can cut multiples of the buttons, belly band and buckle in no time at all, so are just perfect for a quick, last minute project. 

Supplies :-

Candy Tubes and Tag sentiments - SRM Stickers

Twine - Trendy Twine

Double sided tape - Stix 2

Glittered Vinyl - Hobbycraft

White and Black cardstock - American Crafts

Santa and Elf Gift boxes

Here are some simple Elf and Santa gift boxes I have made using my Pazzles Inspiration Cutting machine, for my latest DT project at Pazzles.   I work in a school,so I thought these could be put together very quickly as Christmas gifts for the kids in my class.  The cutting file is available in svg and wpc format in the Pazzles Craft Room. All you need to do is resize the box cutting file using your cutter software, and then they can be made as big or as small as you want.

Just by changing the colour of the cardstock and the trim you can change the look of the box.  I am sure fellow crafter's will have some more ideas.

Once the belt buckle and punched trim have been adhered you can fill with your treats.

I even used my Pen Tool in my Pazzles Inspiration to draw the stitching using a white pen for the braces.

I am so pleased with the way these gift boxes have turned out using my textured 

AC coloured cardstock from Handy Hippo.
