Riley #3 - Sharing a cuppa love :)

Woohoo, onward to sneak peak #3!  What a fun-filled Riley-icious couple of days this has been introducing Riley and his new friend, Percy!  Just in case you are just joining the DT blogs, on Thanksgiving Day - the 24th - Riley and company will release the new Riley and Sophie Winter Wonderland stamps and a brand new stampie friend, Percy the Penguin!

For today's post, I have a super simple holiday gift card holder  - perfect for the number of "little" gift cards we'll all be handing out this holiday :)  I have had this template saved in my files since last year and it's perfect again!  I paired Hot Cocoa Riley with some holiday striped paper, paired it with holiday buttons and twine, and super simple - under 15 minutes of crafting!




A couple more days and we are at the home stretch of the Thanksgiving Hop!
You won't want to miss it!

Big hugs!
Bigger Blessings,
Kelly

17 friends that blessed my day :):

Super adorable!!! How perfect is this!! You had me at 15 minutes. :) The shimmer DP makes a stunning cardholder. And i love the buttons placement. Wonder if there is a Starbucks GC inside to match that hot cocoa Riley?! *wink*

Thanks so much for the sweet comment on my blog. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends. ((hugs))

This is perfect and 15 works for me. I can so see this with that darling image and maybe a little hot chocolate packet inside with the gift card. Have a great holiday.
