Sam’s Day Finale
Tool Time Gift Card Holder
I personally love giving (and receiving!) gift cards. It allows the recipient the freedom to choose something they really want/need, and if you choose the store and make an effort with the presentation it can make a perfect choice.
I designed this easy gift card holder for the home reno/tool person that you might be buying for. Real Red cardstock creates the toolbox, Basic Blac cardstock creates the handle and two wide clips from the Clips Assortment (p179 current Canadian Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalogue) create the latches. No adhesive required – just slide them on the edge of the cardstock! (I have to admit I squealed when it worked out).
The insert is created with the Totally Tool stamp set, stamped in Basic Black and Sahara Sand. The gift card could be attached to the insert or just slid in front of it in the pocket.

My Digital Studio Travel Mug!
Hard to get a good shot of a cylindrical object… Anyway, this is one of the projects that might have been hard to see on the TV spot the other day. I have a collection of travel mugs – and I drink from them all the time, even at home, as I tend to wander around the house with my tea in hand. This way, if I put my drink down and walk away, when I come back (if I can remember where I left the mug…) the tea is still drinkable. This mug came from one of my fave coffee shops (think circular green logo and killer chai lattes LOL) and has a liner that you can replace. I created an 8.5" x 11" layout in My Digital Studio and printed it on regular text weight paper. I then used the original liner as a template for cutting. I was able to include features like staples and a tag with ribbon, but because they're all digital elements, the insert fits easily inside the narrow opening with no bulk. As you can tell, this insert is for Father's Day, but you can easily change the insert to suit the season / holiday / latest brag photo of family members.
If you're weeping over some of your favourite Stampin' Up! colours being retired, My Digital Studio is one way to ALWAYS have access to them! You'll be able to use designer papers, elements and accessories in those favourite colours without fear of running out of stock!

Video from my TV appearance
Here's the video from my TV appearance yesterday, in case you missed it. I always worry about not having enough to show…and always run out of time!! LOL. Ah well, better to be overprepared than underprepared?!
As a result, I'll have lots of "eye candy" for you in the next little while here on the blog, as I share projects that didn't get air time yesterday.
