Happy Wednesday! I have a few cards ideas for you today, along with a video!

If you are like me, you have a few people in your life that are hard to shop for or who could use cash more than any other gift.  So, why not a card that holds cash?  Here are a few ideas and a video for you showing how to turn money into a snowman scarf or a holiday tree.  Such fun!

Hope these cards give you ideas for future gifts. And remember, you have two weeks - until December 27th - to enter the “cards that give” challenge.

Tomorrow we will be here announcing the winners from last week’s challenge. And Friday is our big day - our first HUGE Blog Hop! We have lots of fun things and prizes planned, so be sure to join us.  It will be amazing and fun… a nice treat before the busy holidays.

Also… be sure to check out HERE to find a Catalog Preview Party near you.  I am looking forward to doing a make and take at my local store, Stamp Your Art Out, on Saturday.  If you have never been to one of these parties, they are a TON of fun and so inspiring.

See ya soon,
