So someone special that you hope they have the best birthday ever with this card using the Friendly Hello Bundle from Stampin' Up!.

Snowflake Splendor Gift Card Holder - Itty Bitty Christmas Stampin' Up! Video Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a great little project using supplies you may already own. I used the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set for my sentiment and some of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper on my card. And, my card has a little surprise as well, it's also a gift card holder. Here's a look at my card.

Case the Catalog: First Frost meets Feels Like Frost for a Fun Wedding Gift Card Holder

Hello and welcome to my blog; for this weeks CASE the catalog I am casing a card from the Feels Like Frost Suite in the Holiday Catalog. We went to friends from churches engagement party last night and we needed a gift card holder. So I created a fun gift card holder in their wedding colors. I just happened to ask last week at church what their wedding colors were so it worked out wonderfully. No, I didn't have any idea I was going to be making a gift card holder for them. LOL! Here's a look at the cute little gift card holder that I came up with.

And here's the card that I drew my inspiration from. My inspiration came from the small square card in the middle of this image. This image can be found on page 40 of the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.

Their colors are gray and navy so I just happened to have Night of Navy and Basic Gray cardstock.

Since the back side of the designer series paper has silver and white I pulled in those two colors as well with Smoky Slate and Whisper White to round everything out.

To make this card into a gift card holder wasn't two hard. I used one piece of cardstock. I cut it at 5 1/2 x 11 instead of the normal 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. I did this because I wanted a pocket on the inside for the gift card to sit in. And I didn't want to glue in another piece of cardstock when I could just cut it to size. Here's a look at the inside of the card.

I decorated the inside of the card and pocket with the left over designer series paper from the Feels like Frost DSP that I used on the front with a little Night of Navy mat. I also added some left over stamped images from the First Frost Stamp set that is also on the front of the card. I made a little notch in the pocket with my 1" circle punch so that the gift card would slide in and out easily.

To finish off the card and the presentation for the couple I stamped the flap of the envelope in the same colors that I used on the card. Night of Navy, Basic Gray and Smoky Slate. That finishes my card, I hope that you like it and that you may give this a try when you need a card for your next gift card. Thanks for dropping by I will see you again on Monday for another fun project.

Happy Stampin'

Toile Christmas Gift Card Holder

Hello and welcome to my second post today! We all need gift card holders, but must are all the same and there's nothing exciting or different about them. Must crafters love designer series paper but we struggle with which side to use. Well, I have a solution for both of these problems with this little gift card holder that I created. I love this little gift card holder so much that; I wanted to share it with you today. I couldn't hold this project for another day. That's how excited I am about the super easy and cute gift card holder that I made last night during my Facebook Live. Here's a look at my project.

I am going to show you how to create a gift card holder using the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper and the Toile Christmas Stamp Set and matching dies from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper features traditional toile designs in classic Christmas colors--the perfect paper for a cozy Christmas.

The Toile Christmas Bundle includes the Toile Christmas Cling Stamp Set and the Christmas Cardinal Dies. Toile Christmas Cling Stamp Set pairs the classic Christmas cardinal image with sophisticated seasonal greetings for all your Christmas projects. The berry branch works as a sweet perch for the cardinal or as an accent piece with your greetings. Cardinals never go out of style, so you'll love the Toile Christmas Stamp Set for many Christmases to come! This is a Distinktive* stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images. *Patent pending. The Christmas Cardinal Dies helps you to create custom Christmas die cuts, including a festive cardinal, in record time.

Now that I have shown and talked to you a little about the products that I used on my gift card holder let's have a little chat about the holder itself shall we. This is a great project for someone that doesn't have a lot of time but wants to create some holiday gifts. I mean who doesn't like a gift card to their favorite store or to a coffee shop. This is perfect for a teacher gift with a Starbucks gift card inside. Or for the person that finds it hard to cut up that designer series paper you've been hording because you can't decided which side to use. One of the other things I love about this project is you actually get to see both sides of the designer series paper.

Just a word of warning! Once you start stamping the branch and cardinal you may not be able to stop. It becomes a little additive. I am just saying. I may have stamped about 50 or so to color. I am not sure what I am going to do with these yet but I am sure I can think of something.

Video Tutorial:

If you are viewing this post via email you my not be able to see the embedded video tutorial. If that's the case you can click here or on the image below and it will take you to the video on my YouTube Channel.

Thanks for dropping by for my second post today, I hope that you find this project helpful and that I have inspired you to use up some of your designer series paper. Remember you can always purchase another pack. You have my permission. LOL!

Happy Stampin'
