Gift Card Holder on a CARD! Featuring our December Kit by Tina Smith
Hi friend! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Tina Smith to our blog today with fresh and gorgeous inspiration showcasing our brand new December 2025 Card kit! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!
Hey friends, Tina here! Happy holidays, everyone! I’m having a blast crafting with the awesome Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit this season.
The card project is practically a present on its own—just slide a gift card into the front pocket. Killer patterned papers from the kit, along with the “Pine and Post” Envelope Gift Card Die and the Bright Christmas stamp set were used.
For a little extra flair, holly and candy images were fussy-cut with the patterned paper to make a festive candy sprig accent. To bring some serious sparkle and texture, some of the kit’s Distress Texture Paste with a little Rock Candy was applied on the die-cut pine needles and fussy-cut holly bits. It gives this amazing shimmery, snowy effect. This is a great addition for Christmas cards; it just adds that “extra” touch. Happy crafting! Hope your holiday is merry and bright!

Li’l Knot Bags by Richele Christensen featuring Tim Holtz Palette Fabric!
Hi friend! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Richele Christensen and we’re highlighting the GORGEOUS purple fabric released just last month from Tim Holtz Ecclectic Elements collection! The pattern Richele used can be found HERE if you’d like to give this a go! Read on and enjoy!
Hello friends! Today I’m sharing these fun Li’l Knot Bags using the Palette Multi fabric by Tim Holtz. I love how the fabrics go through the colors of the rainbow so when I used the ticket fabrics each side of the bag is a different color family with no extra effort. Bonus right? I also used the Palette Multi Ephemera with its beautiful vintage vibe with all the best ephemera pieces. I watched this video for the construction of the bags and they went together fast and easy.
Pin the pattern piece to your fabric.
Cut out the pattern pieces don’t forget to cut the notches. I used my Tim Holtz 9.5” Shears by Tonic. They work perfect for cutting the curves of this pattern.
Sew with right sides together (one lining and one outside each) sew the top handle portion from the notch up and the middle section using 1/4” seam allowance.
Turn both sections right side out and press the edges well.
Now turn one of the sections wrong side out and you will fit the other piece inside this one. They will be right sides together. Be sure to line up the handle seam.
Sew the handle with a 1/4” seam allowance.
Turn right side out and topstitch around the handle 1/8” from the edges.
Assemble bag now by placing the lining material right sides together and the outside right sides together. Pin and sew together with a 1/4” seam allowance. Leave a 4” opening at the bottom of the lining.
Turn by pulling through the hole in the bottom you left in the previous step. Sew the bottom opening closed. Stitch close to the edge. And enjoy!
How cute are these bags. They could be used to carry things, wrap up a special gift and even a purse.
What would you use the Li’l Knot bag for? Thanks for stopping by and happy sewing! -Richele
