Happy Saturday, die cutters! Yesterday I went live over on YouTube with my special guest, Lori Craig, where she shared all the details on Olo Markers (Olo Markers are an alcohol ink marker). I also shared these fun coffee cup shaped gift card holders and demonstrated coloring some of the images as part of the live.
This post is part of Day 3 of my Handmade Holiday 2022 Series. I’m back with my ninth year of handmade holiday ideas!
Thank you so much for your support of this series. I appreciate each and every one of you. You all make this possible and I love being able to share these ideas with you!
The goal of this series is adding handmade touches to gifts for our friends and family. Even with the craziness of the season I like to be able to personalize the gifts under our tree. I’ll be sharing ideas for cards, tags and gift wrapping sure to add that handmade touch we all love. Most ideas will include multiple projects and today I made four coffee cup shaped gift card holders!

Lives FAQs
Currently I am doing a Friday live at 9 am CT or 1 pm CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) I personally love Live replays. I haven’t watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it’s something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don’t want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to “see” you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I’m going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven’t subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!
Thanks to everyone who joined me for the live! I had a blast visiting with everyone.

thank you for this terrific information!
FYI- Emily Midgett and Kristina Werner have OLO color swatch chart information on their blogs!
Such a great video!!!! Tanks for the info Lori, and Gorgeous gift card holders Nichol!!!!
Such a great live! Please don’t start editing them. Even watching on replay I love the atmosphere and fun of it. Makes you feel a part of it even if you can’t be there at the time. Would love to know the day before (maybe about 24 hours) what time it’s happening so I can set my alarm. Helps me here in Australia so I can get some sleep whilst impatiently waiting 😄. Thank you for all the wonderful content you put out for us.
Lives are at 9 a.m. or 1 pm Central and are scheduled days in advance. If you subscribe to my channel you should get a notification.
Hi Nichol, I could not get your contact tab on your new site to open so I am asking my question here.
I love all the projects you create and share. When I see a new release, I always go and see what you create. That helps me decide whether to add to my stash. It is usually add, lol.
I have been working on my craft room storage. I keep my stamps and dies in pockets and put in the clear storage bins. My issue has been where to put my bins. I have several of the IKEA Kallax units but I feel like there is a lot of wasted space as I can only fit one bin in each of the cubes. In your lives, you have your bins on a storage unit. Where did you find this unit? The bins fit perfectly and there is no wasted space between the shelves. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Deb
Thes are so cute!!
Lovely gift card holders! I love the pink and red combo!
