Last minute gift holders

I think I am running a bit behind this year!  Not so much with the shopping, but with the presentation.  I've bought a number of tickets over the internet, but when the gift is just a piece of paper.....something else is definitely needed.  I've made four, so far, and still need to come up with three more.  In copying the same design, thankfully they are not taking too long.



Here I've used some toppers from Crafter's Companion, that came on a CD with the Digital Crafting magazine that I purchased.  Perfect for some quick makes when needed.  For a change, I took the photos among my Christmas village, which I also set up today.

These were basically made with a half sheet of OLD scrapbook paper, folded and lined with a complementing paper.  The bottom edge is also folded and fastened with double sided tape.

Each one is different, but basically the same concept.  One of them has some ribbon, others have pearls or gemstones, some use peel-offs, and for some I've used punches.  The paper folds and tucks in behind nice and neat.  If you have any questions, just drop me a line in the comments.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you are a little better organized than me!  Take care, and all the best for the holidays!

  4. They are brilliant Joyce and as you say a ticket gift needs a little something in which to present it - and you've certainly done that, I love them
