Gift Card Holder project 5 from Christmas Card Class

Christmas is a great time to give Gift Cards - and a hand made fancy card is the best way to dress up this gift.

the Front
This is an easy design which I modified to metric measurements for our Australian market.  ( the Paper Pixie has US measurements for this design)

The inside

This is a picture heavy post to give you the instructions.

You only need one strip of DSP but I have given the measurements in both metric and imperial as it is a good design to use your 6x6 DSP.

1. Score your cardstock at 6.5 and 14 cm, this gives a 6.5cm panel, which will fold to the inside and hold the gift card, a 7.5 cm panel which will be the card front, and a regular panel 10.5 x 14.5 for the inside panel where you will write your message.

2. cut your DSP strips as per the table above,  and cut your cardstock pieces 10 x 14 for the writing panel inside, and 9 x 9 for the card front.


3. adhere the 2.5cm strip to the sentiment panel and adhere to the inside of the card.
. 

4. on the card front adhere the two DSP panels as shown. ( 7cm DSP to 7.5cm panel, and 6cm DSP to 6.5cm panel)


5. using a label punch/ oval punch/ circle punch cut a small shape from the edge of the card where you will be able to see the gift card peeking out, and be easily able to remove it from the card. Fold this 6.5cm panel to the inside and adhere just along the top and bottom edge to create the pocket.



6. on the front of the card adhere the 9x9cm square and decorate as desired.

And here's a few more examples.



And here's a sample using Merriest Moments Stampset in completely non Christmas colours as an example of a birthday or other occasion card.


I really hope that you give this a try, it's super easy

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
