What gift is given the most? Gift cards! Here is a easy DIY gift card holder that you can make for Christmas, birthdays, or just to say thank you. You can keep the stamping simple with just stamps, ink, and paper, or add extra pizzazz to your gift card holder. 

We made these for last night's Mystery Stamping event. I hope you'll join me next week at 8pm Eastern in the On Y Go! Stamping Facebook group to make another fun card using supplies from your own stash.

Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

These little Halloween treats are easy to make and perfect for handing out to trick-or-treaters or giving to friends. Each one has a mini candy bar tucked inside. Plus, they don't need a lot of fancy supplies to make them. It's basically just stamps, ink, paper, and a little ribbon. I used the Clever Cats stamp set, but you could use other Halloween stamps. Your kids, grandkids, or neighbors will smile to find these in their trick-or-treat buckets. Be sure to read all the way through to see ideas for using these ideas for other holidays as well. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

I can hardly believe it's spring and Mother's Day is right around the corner! Mother's can be hard to shop for, especially mothers who seem to have everything already. Here is a fabulous gift idea for Mom or anyone. A little patterned paper, like the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper, a great greeting set like the Happy Thoughts stamp set, some dies, and a pack of note cards and envelopes make it quick and easy to pull together a fabulous gift for Mom. 

I am excited to be hopping with the Stampin' Friends again. This month, we are sharing projects to brighten someone's day or send them well wishes. If you've been hopping along, you've joined me from Kim Quade's blog. When you're done here, I hope you will continue on to Barbara Welch's. You'll find a complete list of the blog hop links below.
