11 & 12th Day of Christmas Love Letters & a Gift Card Holder



The first picture is letter #11 & #12 for the 12 days of Christmas letters at http://www.moreloveletters.com/.  I'm so thankful I was able to complete them all on time, and it really was a blessing to spread Christmas cheer to people in need of encouragement and love.
The second photo is a gift card holder I made for my daughter.  I used 3D stickers and stamped the sentiment and punched it out with a Stampin' Up! punch.  I added a little ribbon and put in some cash for her to spend on after Christmas sales.  I'm working on setting up a Wordpress account at https://creativeseconds.com/ and hoping to blog more in the New Year!  ~ Merry Christmas!! ~

What a lovely idea - I love both your 'love letters' and your gift card/cash holder. I could do with making a couple of those myself! (I'll be following the link to the love letters idea when I've finished.) Love what you've done - so simple, but so effective.
Thank you for joining Try it on Tuesday's Christmas is Coming challenge.

How is it I have missed SO many of your 12 Days of Christmas cards? I know I've been offline, but this is ridiculous. I fear I'm too late ro leave comments on every card, so I'll go back and see what I have missed and return here so you know I checked them out. You are certainly doing this for a worthy cause. I am totally impressed you took the time to send all these cards to people in need of encouragement in some form or another. Good for you for finishing on time, too.

How did I get stuck in December of last year? Please ignore my faux pas. I'm off to see your current work.

Hi. Saw your question about the pebbles. I use acrylic paints mostly but usually seal everything first with Gesso after giving the pebble a good scrub. I do use some felt tip pens sometimes too particularly if I need to create some fine lines. Hope that helps, Angela xXx

It took me a bit but I found a post with the gingerbread recipe http://kathyinozarks.blogspot.com/2012/08/import-blog-december-07_9.html for the flour I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten free 1-1 flour I like it the best, start with a 1/2 cup less flour than called for and then see if you need a little more. I also change the brown sugar to swerve brown keto sweetener to cut back a bit on the sugars when rolling out christmas cookies I no longer use flour-it toughens the dough instead I use powdered sugar or now keto swerve keto powdered sugar.

Oh that is a gorgeous gift card holder.
I will have a look at the link as I think I missed most of the 12 days of Christmas stuff.
Interesting that you are going over to Wordpress for your blog. Let me know how you get on.
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
