Gifts from Paradise

Happy belated Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is recovering from a lot of family, fun and eating. Now, it is time to face the holidays head on. I needed a couple of little gifts to help fill in my list. The bright, cheerful colors in Club Scrap’s Paradise collection proved to be great inspiration for what I needed. (All the supplies I used for these projects came from my Paradise Lite kit except where noted.)

First I made a couple of fancy “notebooks”:
It was so exciting to find 5 x 8 inch Post-It Note Lined Notes in neon pink and orange…a near enough perfect match to the colors of the Paradise Lite papers. I used Club Scrap ink in Neon Pink and Neon Orange to alter the ribbon color to match. The “a good life…” stamp is from Club Scrap "Celebrate". It was stamped with the neon pink ink and embossed with Gina K. Designs Fine Detail EP in Clear. The flowers and the bling brads are from my stash (I’ve been on a “use up old products” kick!).

I also made a couple of gift card holders. The first one was inspired by a project that I found in my ScrapRap from “Birds of a Feather” (Sept. 2009):
It doesn’t show up in the picture (because I didn't get a shot of the outside!), but I stenciled the outside with Neon Orange through a Memory Box "Peony Blossoms" stencil just to add a little texture. I stamped the inside with the Neon Orange using a background stamp from Club Scrap “Castaway”. The sentiment stamp is from Club Scrap “Holiday Tags”, stamped with Neon Blue ink. Again, the flowers and bling are from my stash.

And last I made this gift card holder:
I got the idea from SplitcoastStampers. The flower is a stamp from Decola Hancoline (which I got at my local Ben Franklin Craft store) colored with Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade and Carved Pumpkin Distress Markers. The sentiment was stamped with the Neon Pink ink. This is my new favorite way to give a gift card...so quick and easy to make, but dresses the gift up so much!

If you have some time, you should pop over to the Club Scrap Blog Hop and Linky Party to check out all the fun and creative projects!

Thanks for stopping by!
