DIY Gift Card Holder

in Cardmaking on 02/14/23

Hello Stampers, Bonjour!

Hope you are having a wonderful day. I wanted to pop by quickly to share an easy DIY Gift Card Holder.  I’m featuring the Adorable Owls Stamp Set that is FREE this month with a $60 order.  It’s also available in French and called Trop Chouette. You can see the images in my shopping section below.  For my project today, I’m also featuring the Dandy Designs 12 x12″ Designer Series Paper.  It is also FREE this month with an order of $120.  This paper includes 48 sheets.  Wow!!!, that is a lot of double sided designer paper…. The designs include beautiful spring kind of colors:  Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody and Petal Pink.

Here’s a sneak peek of the inside design. These make cute pockets to insert your gift cards.  Simply add a bead of Multiple Purpose Glue on the inside edges.

I have a Reel Video  showing the step by step instructions on my Instagram Kim_McGillis .  If you don’t have Instagram, I’m including the measurements here for you.

Measurements Instructions:

  • Card Base:  3 x 9 3/4, score at 3 1/4 and 7 1/2
  • Designer Series Paper:  2 3/4 x 9 1/2, score at 3 1/8 and 7 3/8
  • Inside Cardstock Piece:  2 x 2 3/4
  • Designer Series Paper for the belly ban:  1 x 7

Here are a few additional tips for you:

  • Stamp the Owl on  Shimmery White Cardstock, this will perfect colouring with the Blends
  • Use tone on tone to stamp the owl images for your card pocket. For instance I used Fresh Freesia cardstock and then stamped my owls in Fresh Freesia Classic Ink
  • Don’t forget to embellish with your favorite embellishments.  Since these were made in December with my team members,  I added the Wonderful Snowflakes.  I believe they are on sale on the clearance rack.

Color Combination Used today: 

Smoky Slate
Fresh Freesia
Pale Papaya

I hope you love this simple project today.  Wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day.  Sending all my love. xo
