Need gift card holders?

I didn't much care for the holders that came with some gift cards I bought, so made my own. I used my contribution to Digital Designer's Den Vintage Winter Holiday mega kit. Two cards holders will print to one 8.5: x 11" sheet of cardstock. Fold all tabs towards rectangular center and crease well. To assemble, fold bottom tab up and glue side tabs to it (or tape). When you fold top tab down you will notice there is a strip about 1/3" wide that is open; dont worry about this. Using scrap cardstock, cut 2 rectangles of 3.5" x 2.25"; these will become you message cards. Slip this blank card into the envelope you've created and and fold down the top tab to see where the blank space falls on the message card. I used this as a guide to lightly write in the recipient's name so it will show through when you glue top flap down. Remove message card and write your message. Tuck gift card into enelope and top with your message card. Glue top[ flap down. Now you have a pretty gift card holder that has a design on top side and on back shows who it is for. Hope you enjoy these.

Re-opening/birthday celebration

As you may know, our store had to be rebuilt due to a problem with another store that shared the same server with us. That problem caused the host to shut everyone on the server down & we had to move to a new host and rebuild. We missed the first anniversary of our opening on October 31st so decided we'd have a combined re-opening/belated birthday celebration.

All shops at DDD have sales of 50% or more. Every shop has at least 2 gifts for you which you will have to hunt for. Look for a birthday logo in the product description along with a link to download your gift.

Below is the preview of our Vintage Winter Holiday mega kit which sells for $9.99. However, during the month of December if you spend $10 or more and send us proof of your payment, we will send you a coupon to download this kit for free. Spend $15 or more and your gift will include not only the kit but also a surprise hybrid add-on.

Some recent Christmasy layouts

The layouts below were made with two new kits by Sweetmade, Christmas Story and Christmas Story 2. These kits are a mix of warm, whimisical, and elegant.

This LO was made with Christmas Story and has a photo of Londyn, the baby I was watching.

Also made with Christmas Story is this LO featuring photos of 3 of my nieces when they were younger. If you like the clustered frame I made here, you can get it for free at Sweetmade Inc.

News About Digital Designers Den

AS you know, we had a crash a couple weeks ago due to an issue with out host. We are back on-line but still rebuilding. Each designer is having to re-load their product zips so it's taking some time especially as some designers are in areas where their internet connections are very slow.

We're going to put up another message on our home page because we've decided to postpone our Grand Opening and Belated Birthday to December 1st. This will give us all a chance to get all our zips back in place, finish up the Novemeber/December collaboration kit, Vintage Winter Holiday, and add in the free gifts for you to pick up during the celebration.

The Vintage Winter Holiday is shaping up so nicely! I've seen several designers' contributions and they are lovely. In addition to offering the kit for sale as we usually do, we will be giving it away to anyone who makes a purchase of $10.00 or more during the celebration. More about this soon.
