How To Make a Peek a Boo Card With the Ombre Gift Bag

in Cardmaking on 12/05/21

Happy Sunday/ Bon Dimanche,

We are decorating the inside of the house for the holidays this weekend.  I can’t wait to give you a sneak peek. We just added our Christmas Tree in the living room and it smells so so good!  I have so many Christmas Decorations, as I’m taking these out, it simply reminds me of my 3 daughters growing up.  I started by adding the decor in our staircase yesterday and it brought me back to when the girls were tiny.  Decorating in full renovation mode in our fixer upper requires a little patience.

Day 5 of Kim’s Countdown to Christmas:

Check out this cute peek a boo card using Stampin’up!’s Ombre Gift Bag.  I have already shared how to do the Blended Alcohol Technique HERE.

How to do the Peek a Boo Gift Bag:

  • Slide one of the Mini Cutting Plates inside the gift bag
  • Add one of the Delicate Baubles Die to the top of the Ombre Gift Bag
  • Top of the regular Cutting Plate on top of your die like you normally would when die cutting
  • Add a designer series paper inside the gift bag to see the pattern when the card is out of the bag

Pull the card out of the Gift Bag and voila!

My favorites on this card are:

  • Gold Holly Leaves:  they come in two different sizes and are so sparkly
  • Gilded Leafing:  which add the perfect amount of gold specs to your creations
  • Garden Gems.  the Gems change colors when you move them, from green to gold to red, it is truly stunning

Emboss with the Gold Embossing Powder the greeting.  To create a little texture, I also embossed the Ombre Gift Bag with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

Below is a list of products used to create this beautiful card and envelop.  Use the December  Hostess Code SPGVGXKN to receive perks from my VIP club.   View all of the current promotions by clicking HERE.

Special Offer:  Place a 50$ or more order with me in the month of December and receive  FREE designer series paper.

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!
