Hello! I'm back today for Day 3 of the
Waltzingmouse Stamps November SOAP sharing a few more holiday projects that may hopefully help provide some inspiration when you are creating for your loved ones :) With a little, ok A LOT, of help from my sweetie, I made several gift card envelopes and adorned each with a beautiful Waltzingmouse ornament and sweet little tag.
Since my hubby provides 24/7 in house tech support to me exclusively, I had him whip up a gift envelope in SVG format so I could use the Cricut Expressions to cut them out. Here's what it looks like when opened. I cut these samples to hold a 4" x 4" card as well. The beauty of using the Cricut to cut items like these, you have the ability to cut it any size your little heart desires with just a few button clicks. Gotta love that ~ I know I sure do!
The To:, From: and For You sentiments shown on all are from
Nordic Winter, the glittery ornament shown below is from
2011 Holiday Ornaments and was cut using a
Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornament Die template:
How about Kraft and Lavender?
The beautiful ornament below is from
Vintage Ornaments and coordinates perfectly with a
Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament die template:
Anyone up for Old Olive and Pretty in Pink?
Maybe you prefer a little Blush Blossom and Cameo Coral?
In case you are curious what the envelope looks like opened completely:

Mona, LOVE the gift card holder idea and all of those ornaments are BEAUTIFUL! It's great that you are inspiring us with things other than cards! How FUN!
Love those glittery ornament tags! You have sold me on a Cricut Expression so maybe Santa will bring me one for Christmas, hope so. I am thinking the ornament tags are what I'd like to CASE for the challenge, they are so sparkly and irrestible. :-)
Can I ask....how exactly did you get the envelope for this?? I have looked up every cricut cartridge I can find online and can't find any that cut out that design?? I abolutely love it and would really appreciate knowing how you did that!!
Thank you so much for leaving a sweet comment!
