Christmas Gift Card Holder with Alyssa McGrew

Christmas Gift Card Holder
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Alyssa McGrew

Every now and then, and event comes up that requires a gift card be given.  Gift cards can be very impersonal, though, so I really like to make cards with them that add a personal touch.  In this case, I used some glitter snowflakes from the shop to add some holiday sparkle.  Now, the gift cards I'm giving at Christmas will feel so much more personalized!

Framed Christmas Decor with Andrea Amu

Framed Christmas Decor
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Andrea Amu

Andrea shares a very quick and easy project she likes to do for the holidays.She finds an easel frame and removes the glass. She than inserts a piece of 5 x 5 cardstock to fit into it.  

The frame can be embellished to fit any holiday. Andrea simply changes out the embellished cardstock from one holiday to the next!  Since the glass is removed you can have fun layering embellishments and make things look more three dimensional.  

For this Christmas framed décor scene Andrea used all Curtsey Boutique notions, including a glittered star and reindeer, a burlap tree, a book page star and fabric die-cut letters.  

Andrea also shows a sneak peek of our fabric letters which are cardstock fused to fabric and will be available soon in the shop.

Other supplies:

Easel frame
cardstock
