Create A Gift Card Holder

in Cardmaking, Gift Making on 11/28/22

Hi Crafters, Bonjour!

I’m sharing a colourful crafting project today.  You know me, I tend to navigate toward soft pastel colors or neutrals. But, I couldn’t resist playing with a colourful collection.  On page 8 of Stampin’up!’s mini catalogue there is a beautiful Suite called Sweetest Christmas.  It is a beautiful color combination of Sweet Sorbet, Real Read, Garden Green and Pool Party.  This suite is also available in French and called “Le Plus Savoureux Noël “. You can create tags, cards, hostess gifts.  There is no limits.  Today, I wanted to share with you a Gift Card Holder Idea.

Color Combination Used:

Sweet Sorbet
Real Red
Garden Green
Pool Party

TIP:  By die cutting two pieces from the Pretty Pillowbox Dies, you can create a slot to insert a gift card. The most important step for this is to use the Multi Purpose Liquid Glue to adhere both pieces of Pillowbox together.

Don’t forget to subscribe to my Facebook Page to view the DIY video.

Do you like my project today? I’ve added the list of products used.  Like always, you have the option of ordering the full Suite Sweetest Christmas in English, item number 159579 or en Français (Le Plus Savoureux Noël) # 159580. If you just want the stamp set and dies, I’ve added the two options as well.

Special Exclusive Offer from me:  Place a 60$ or more order with me in the month of November using the Hostess Code 7HKXXGHK and receive  FREE embellishment.  Place an order of $120 and receive an additional gift for FREE, an embossing folder.

BONUS GIFT:

If you can understand French: I joined demonstrators from France and Quebec:  L’Accent Creatif. We’ve created 10 classes for you.  Get these French classes for FREE when you place an order in November for $60 or more.  New ideas every month.  Use November Hostess Code 7HKXXGHK If you are part of my team, you get these monthly tutorials for FREE.

If your list is long, I suggest you get the starter kit.  You can  message me if you have any questions about the starter kit.  Join my team and get to order from the new Annual Catalogue and Mini Catalogue.   Click HERE to get your starter kit.

How amazing to get $165 of products for $135.    You can read all about it HERE.

Have a great day!

Hugs, Kim xo

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
