Stampin' Up! Gift of Giving Gift Card Holder






Today's feature is actually a gift card holder-perfect for this time of year! They are so easy to make and always great to have on hand for any occasion.  If you are like me, I am always giving gift cards to someone during the year.  This one will likely be given to the mail driver along with a Tim's card.

The Night of Navy cardbase is cut at 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2.  Then trim off the last 3 inches to  create the half card front.  The piece leftover will be used as a layer for the main focal image.  Next add the Beary Christmas DSP to the front flap (the piece on the left).  Stamp your image using Memento onto a piece of Basic White, colour and adhere to the remaining piece of Night of Navy.  You can now adhere that to the front flap-be sure to only put adhesvie on the left side, you don't want it to stick to the insert.  Now on to the insert-Stamp your sentiment on the other piece of Basic White, add a piece of dsp if desired and adhere to the inside of the card.  I like to place my inside sentiment behind the main focal image so it is hidden.  You have to open the flap to see everything.  For the gift card holder itself, it's simply a piece of Real Red cardstock, with a half circle removed using a circle punch.  It's adhered around three sides (not the one you punched out) to the inside left flap of the card.   I added a few of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots to the front and some Wink of Stella for the marshmallows.  

The colours are bold and festive, a perfect combination.

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Sympathy Card

Image
Today's card was inspired by a sketch seen on facebook from an American Demonstrator.  I was intrigued by the cool way to use some of our beautiful designer series paper and the best part is, you don't need a huge piece! I am attending a Stampin' Up! event this weekend and we were asked to bring a few projects to share and this is one of my projects. Fall isn't officially here yet, but once school starts up and the leaves start to fall off the trees, it's pretty close.  The Splendid Autumn designer series paper is gorgeous, the beautiful rich colours are simply stunning.   The cardbase and matte layer are Wild Wheat and the cardstock that the dsp is mounted on is Crushed Curry.  Simply cut the pieces and adhere together and then adhere to the card front.  I stamped using Memento onto a strip of Basic White cardstock which was then mounted on to another piece of Crushed Curry.  This was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals after the length of 2023...

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card

Image
Good day folks!  I am here with another card created for my recent Stampin' Up! gathering this past weekend.  We had a day long activity where we focused on building up our Stampin' Up! business, watched several Atlantic Demos create some beautiful projects and then participated in a show box swap.  This was my shoe box swap offering. I have used this fancy fold layout several times and thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the beautiful Nests of Winter dsp in the latest mini catalogue! My cardbase is Grey Granite which was cut and scored, the die cut square behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Gray Granite too.  The dsp is from Nests of Winter and they are adhered to the front and the inside of the cardbase.  There is a small piece of Basic White for the insert and fits beside the piece of dsp.  The strip of Gray Granite,  is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front,...
