Starting on Gifts

A very appreciated gift that I give to people during Christmas is a set of assorted cards which includes birthday, thinking of you, get well, sympathy and all-occasion cards. Today's card is an example of the type of cards I include in the package, following a few simple guidelines: a pretty card embellished with embossing folders, punches and mini brads rather than bulky bows or buttons to avoid need for extra postage; no fancy folds or odd-sized cards; and finally, I add a white layer inside the card for a handwritten message. Don't forget the most important thing: the presentation!!! Embellish the cellophane or gift bag that contains the cards with pretty ribbons, add a little raffia and a cute little holiday gift tag. The recipient will be thrilled with the pretty packaging and the handmade cards inside. Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time.
