Eureka! Stamps Handmade Gifts Blog Hop

Hello stamp/crafting fans!

It's been quite a while since the

Eureka! Stamps Design Team

 has had a blog hop and I'm excited about this one.

"Eureka! Stamps Handmade Gifts Blog Hop"

promises to be wonderful.

You can also see lots of wonderful

gift ideas from the design team

for our sister company

QKR Stampede

Be sure to follow both hops and comment on each

blog, as we are having a winner on every blog, as well

as a grand prize winner on each company blog.

 

If you have arrived from

Vicky's Blog

you are on the right track.

The hop starts at the

 Eureka! Stamps Blog

If you have just stumbled across the hop,

you may want to start at the beginning,

you won't want to miss any of the wonderful

gifts the design team has to show you.

Now sit back and relax

I have a lot of fun gifts to show you.

 

First up I have some gift boxes that I've created.

These boxes will hold sets of hand made cards.

I have used images from Eureka! Stamps to decorate them all.

For these first 2 boxes I used

"Holly Background" (#26701)

For the first, I stamped onto white card stock and

colored the image with water color crayons.

 

On the second box, I stamped onto white card stock, then inked it with

green distress inks and used some red Stickles for the berries.

 

Here is a view of the back of the gift box.

I can fit up to about 8 cards and envelopes

inside these boxes, depending on how many layers

and embellishments there are on the cards.

 

This next gift box was made using

"Skunk and Lights" (#10901)

I stamped the image onto white card stock,

colored the lights with water color crayons.

I then fussy cut the image and layered it onto

matching purple card stock and fussy cut it again.

It is then adhered to the box with foam tape.

I thought this patterned paper from my stash

was perfect with this little guy.

 

 

I'm using these for giving sets of cards,

but they could be used for any small gift

or perhaps a gift card.

Just wrap it in a bit of tissue and put it in the box,

maybe with a card.

The next 2 boxes were made for the same purpose,

but in a different style

For this one I used the

"Christmas Blessings" (#7304)
image and colored it with
FlexMarkers (alcohol ink)

For this next box I used

"Heart Bouquet" (#18302)

colored with water color crayons

it works great for a

birthday gift or maybe something fun

for Valentines day.

Some candy would work great in this box too.

Here I have some hand made cards

ready for giving.

My next project is something I came up with for my Mom.

She is in assisted living and wanted some little gifts
 to give some of her friends.

These are simple, quick and inexpensive little gifts

that would be great for anyone that you'd like

to give something little to,

or even for stocking stuffers.

For this one I used

"Snowman To and From" (#23705)

I stamped it, colored it and cut out

just the snowman part of the image.

Open it up and inside....

a little gift.

Hand sanitizer is easily removed for use.

For this 2nd one I used

"Snow Background" (#27301)

 

I got these hand sanitizers at the Dollar Store

for 3/$1.00

The paper is from my stash,

 a simple gift that doesn't cost a lot.

I cut out this little tree with a Sizzix die

then stamped it with

"Holly Background" (#26701)

I colored the berries with water color crayons.

Between the 2 trees is a little box that will hold a lip balm.
Or perhaps you might roll up some cash
to put inside the box.

How cute is that?
Now for my last gift idea for the hop.
For this gift card holder I used
 Baroque Background (#57701)
I stamped onto card stock with VersaMark ink
and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Open the little purse and inside you find

a gift card.

A holder like this could be used
for any occasion or holiday.

I hope you have enjoyed my handmade gift ideas.
