Merry Christmas Card
Wow! SEI has some really cute holiday stuff! I received some in my replacement goodie box from Cards Magazine (the first box was stolen off my porch!). Anyway, I absolutely love the earthy colors they chose for the Holly Lane line. Just love it!This was a super simple card. Quick and easy! And with the proper supplies, you could easily replicate this card over and over to send in the mail (It's just shy of a regular business-size envelope). All the supplies are from SEI except for the stamp, embossing powder, and the white card stock peeking out from the folded corner. All those item are from Stampin' Up!
Hey, while I've got your attention, what are some awesome holiday gifts for under $10? I know there are a lot of people out there who would like to know--me included! So, tell us what you have planned this year, please.

Gorgeous! This card is perfect, I just love it!
Beautiful!
Regarding gifts under $10...I love these little Kiva keychains! They unzip to turn into a full-size either backpack or tote. click here
So handy for outings where you might pick up a few things, but don't want to carry a big bag the whole time.
WOW, this card is great,love the color combo and that ribbon. Hmm a gift under $10, for a woman you can usually get something at Bath and Body and there are always those goodies in Linen and Things that they put by the register.
Love your card. Thar ribbon is beautiful. Under $10.... There are some amazing socks at Bed bath and Beyond (maybe other places too, not sure) that have aloe in them to keep your feet smooth. Beyond that they are just so soft and comfy looking, wishing for some from Santa.. -MB
Oh My!!! How cute is this...Adorable!
great card, as usual! For guy or gal, a lotto quick pick $3 with a chocolate covered apple $2-$3 or choc. cvrd. pretzel stick and maybe one of their favorite snack.
I was at a christmas party last night and the best gift was a gift certificate to Cold Stones. Yummy Ü
Oh Kristina, gorgeous as always! Do you send out original Christmas cards to everyone, or do you ever mass produce a design?
Under $10 gifts - try Anthropologie in SLC a few days before Christmas. Little known fact - they put everything on after-Christmas sale a few days before the 25th! Last year I got a cashmere hoodie for my iPod for $8!
The Container Store has awesome stocking stuffers, and some you can order online! Knockknock.biz has quirky stuff like funny post-its, and l'Occitane (loccitane.com) has great french lotions and soaps!
And of course, who doesn't love an iTunes gift card, preferably in a cute card holder you've made? :)
Good luck, and as always, thanks for sharing your amazing talent with the rest of us!
This is a lovely card! Simply elegant!
My choice of gifts under $10 is Yankee Candles. Either the small jars, a box of scented tea lights or even a votive for 1.49 each. Make and stamp a cute open-top box from cardstock, stamp 2 squares of tissue paper to match, insert candle so the tissue paper pops out of the top, add a piece of ribbon, and you've got a festive-looking gift - even for those with extremely tight budgets.
Super cute card!
Gifts under $10...I love GETTING, ornaments(can never have enough!),Ferrero Rocher candy (yummy!)Itunes cards(thats 10 new songs!)Anything from my LSS!
Love this card! Beautiful colors! I give Mrs. Prindables caramel apples covered with sprinkles to neighbors, my daughter's teachers, etc. I get them from QVC.com packaged 24/box. They are delicious!
Love the card... so pretty.
My fave gift for $10 or less is always something from my stationery store (of course). I just love the idea of giving a personalized gift.
The card is stunning!!!
About the gift...I say gift card from either
"Starbucks" or "Panera Bread" or "Michaels".
Those are some of my favorites....
I've been making lots of monogrammed note card gift sets for people this year and packaging them in those clear boxes you can get from Papertreyink.com. They look so professional and 'store bought' but they're personalized for each individual! And, you can still pair them with a box of chocolates, a small candle or other fun goodies and you're set!
Hi Kristina, Im a SU demo in Australia and a friends sent me a link to one of your videos and Im completely hooked! What a fantastic site. I am getting the feeds and will be back to visit A LOT. Love love love this card.
Beautiful card! Thanks for the ideas - have been inspired by your site these past two weeks (that's when I discovered you!)
What about covering a pack of post-it notes, decorating a plain notepad or making a special cover for a blank paged book as a personalised gift?
A friend just sent me a cute little book of sayings from the Psalms, wrapped in a gauze bag with ribbon ties. I've seen those little books in bookstores at the counters. They cost about $5.95 and the gauze bags are about $1.00
Love the card! Gotta check out this SEI place!
As for gifts under $10 ... Love the iTunes gift card idea. I think even a donation somewhere, like the ASPCA is a good idea. Here in Canada when you make a donation to the SPCA you get a calendar. That would make my day!
Love that SEI line and your card is terrific.
Under $10 gifts: jar candles, pillar candles with a matching plate, a nice platter (to be used again) filled with treats, cute winter or Christmas hotpads or ovenmitt sets, Christmas music (store bought or a CD with your favs)
Since I am making most of my gifts this year, I would say the Provocraft lunch tins decorated and the glass block lights. The block was $5, the 15 strand of lights was $1 at Dollar World, and then stamp on vellum and attach to the glass block. Add a little satin ribbon and you're all set. Super cute, affordable, and definately has the "wow" factor!
I know they're my hubby's own designs, but I'm getting stamping-related bumper stickers, coasters, and magnets for my stamping buddies from Cafe Press (http://www.cafepress.com/stampmom).
Here's my traditional holiday gift -
After Christmas, I try to find a lovely set of holiday mugs that come 4 to a box. I use them the next Christmas as individual gifts, with some gourmet loose leaf tea (I buy a big bag and break it up into 4 of those gift tins you can decorate?).
It's a lovely gift to give. I have ambitions of giving some baked treats with them, but I haven't reached that step yet!
Love that card! Might use it for inspiration when I have to make some last minute cards this weekend (forgot a few people - oops!).
My family and friends always love getting packages of my hand made cards. Under $10 - maybe, maybe not but they are definitely appreciated!
Love the card --- kind of Scandinavian (I think I may have spelled that wrong) don't ya think? I am all about the non-tradional colors this year!
Under 10 -- I love coffee shop gift certificates, Archiver's Hot Spot Items (1.99 each), paperback books w/ a bookmark. :)
this card is gorgeous as are all your creations.
you are so inspiring!
i just wanted to share a gift idea that i received this year and just bought for my son's music teacher. the Hallmark store has fabulous soft thick socks for $4.99 and then get the second pair at 50% off. i have received other slipper socks, but these are the best.
hope that helps!
Your card is so simple and beautiful! Love it!
My under $10 gift? Nugget Mason Jars! You can see them here.
I have them decorated 2 different ways, so be sure to scroll all the way down!
Hey girl - lovely work as always!!
For under $10, I like:
A Starbucks mug (they have such beautiful ones right now and they're all on sale) filled with a bag of coffee beans and packaged in a cello bag.
A flash drive with custom designed address labels for the recipient, along with a sheet of the labels and some cards to send.
They have this great magnet at Bed Bath that lets you scaled down (or up) recipes. It's called the recipe divider and you just spin the top part until you find what you're looking for.
The book "The Meaning of Life" by Bradley Trevor Grieve - I gave this to everyone a few Christmas' ago and they all loved it. He has wonderful books.
Any great Australian wine - inexpensive & yummy!

Under $10. gifts...
I do a lot of THEME packages.
Either using a cello bag or basket..even a
dish or pan.
Italian : pasta-sauce-bread-cheese etc.
PICK A THEME AND RUN WITH IT!!!
Love the card, and love the SEI paper!! This year, we are giving "Sprookies" its a cast iron skillet and cookie mix...they were only $7!
Good Luck with your holiday shopping!
Oooh, LOVE this card!!!!
I've just got a few little "hostess" type of gifts that I need something for when we go to Chirstmas parties...I got cute little box/basket thingys from WalGreens that I'm filling with candy, cookies and this amazing stuff called Angel Toffee that someone here in Georgia makes herself...I tasted it at Lifeway Christian Bookstore last weekend and emailed her as soon as I got home!!!
Hi Kristina,
This is my first visit here...found a link from your video which was on Elsie Flannigan's website. Your cards are gorgeous!!
A good gift, Costco has a two box set of choc truffles covered in powdered choc for $9.99! Merry Christmas!
