Jumbo Gift Card Holder- Gnome for the Holidays

 

Hi Friends!

Today is Day 2 in my Gift Card Holder series. Today I am featuring the “Jumbo Gift Card Holder”…. you know how sometimes gift cards you purchase at the market come all packaged up inside sealed package? Well, those usually don’t fit in our traditional gift card holders unless you rip them out of their packaging. Well not anymore- here you go!

 

 

Jumbo Gift Card Holder-Gnome for the Holidays: 

  1. Cut Balmy Blue cardstock base: 10 ¼” x 5 ½” and score at 1 ¾” and at 6” along the long side. 
  2. Cut Snowflake Splendor DSP: 5 ¼” x 4” (front cover) and 5 ¼” x 1 ¾” coordinating piece for strip on top of previous piece. Cut the coordinating piece for inside: 5 ¼” x 1 ½” that is glued onto a piece of whisper white that is 4 ½” x 3”. Adhere all DSP to cardstock. Punch a half circle notch from inside the piece with 1 ½” circle punch, then adhere two sides with tear and tape.
  3. Cut medium celebration dies out of whisper white cardstock. Stamp gnome and tree on the shape. Color in with Blends: granny apple green, balmy blue, crumb cake, smoky slate, night of navy. Adhere to the top of the card front with dimensionals.

  5. Add 5 Iridescent pearls on snowflakes. 
  6. Stamp greeting in pacific point ink on inside piece of whisper white.

Freezin’ Friends Gift Card Holder

 

 

Hello Friends!

I told you recently that I wanted to get back into posting on my blog, and here goes! I have several posts planned for this week. Today’s feature is a Side-Fold Gift Card Holder featuring Freezin’ Friends bundle (it is retiring from the August-December 2020 Holiday Mini Catalog).

 

 

Here are the directions on how to make this one:

Side Open Gift Card featuring Freezin’ Friends:

  1. Cut Pacific Point Cardstock 4 ¼” x 11”, score at 2 ½” and 5 ½”. Burnish. (do not adhere yet). 
  2. Cut three pieces of DSP (Snowflake Splendor):   Front left cover: 2 ¾” x 4”; Inside left pocket: 2 ¼” x 4” (adhere and punch a half circle with the 1 ½” circle punch); Right side piece: 2 ¾” x 4” add this to piece of whisper white that is 4” x 5 ¼” 
  3. Adhere pocket with tear & tape on the two sides so gift card will fit inside
  4. Die cut celebration dies (two nesting sizes as shown) large is pacific point, small is whisper white. Stamp iceberg directly on die cut piece with pool party ink, color with pool party blends. Stamp sentiment in pacific point ink.
  5. Stamp the freezin’ friends critters, trees and props in memento black ink on a piece of whisper white cardstock, color with blends (night of navy, balmy blue, crumb cake, basic black, mango melody, smoky slate, real red); and stamp trees in just jade ink and color with just jade blends. Cut out with dies. 
  6. Adhere the whisper white celebration die cut to the pacific point piece. Adhere to the card front by adding adhesive to only the left half of the pieces (so this will open- see photo). Add critters and pieces with dimensionals on outside. Glue the raccoon on the inside left and a small tree is glued down bottom right. Add greeting from Merry Moose stamp set. 

 

Be sure to check back tomorrow for another gift card holder!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day and March Projects

Top O’ the Morning to ya! (can you hear my Irish brogue??)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, I wanted to share some special cards I made over the past 2 weeks:

IMG_1102 IMG_1099 IMG_1100 IMG_1101 IMG_1098

 

A few of these you did see before- as I entered two of them in the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge on 3/9 and I’m happy to say they picked one of my cards as their “Artist’s Pick”- YIPPEE! So excited about that!

I think I’ve shared with you that I don’t repeat cards/projects in my various events. So when I plan my club projects- I usually don’t repeat them, but this weekend I had my OpportuniTEA event and was so tickled pink to have some fun ladies over- and wanted them to make a tea related project and an Easter basket. Here’s what the OpportuniTEA event from Sunday looked like:

IMG_1214 IMG_1216 IMG_1217 IMG_1218 IMG_1221 IMG_1222

Well all three guests agreed to sign up and as of this moment Sharon has officially joined under Jamie- Congratulations to you both! And now Jamie just earned a promotion to Senior Supervisor (that’s really good Kudos Jamie!). Carol is also going to sign up under Jamie too! Yippee- Jamie’s Gems are growing! And I had great luck with Laurie signing up on Saturday after club- it was a spur of the moment decision that was guided by my friend (and downline Amye) telling her “if you just spend $40 more you can get a lot of free stuff by joining” I love that logic- sometimes it’s the “savings” and “earning free Stampin’ Up! goodies” that clinches it, you know?  And then Brigid also agreed to sign up! Amye has a recruit on the way this week, so this is really a week full of BLESSINGS beyond measure. I feel like the divine hand of God is at play, and this is my third Anniversary since my surgery for endometrial cancer- so I’m feeling extra blessed for sure.

 

Last, but certainly not least- are my March club projects- everyone loved them, and I’m so glad I could bring some Easter joy through stamping to all these special ladies:

If these projects don’t scream “Spring is coming” I don’t know what does! Which one do you like the best? They were fun to create- I had some inspiration from Pinterest for the little chick. Also was inspired by Aly S. for the “hi” card using the new Saleabration items- I used three of our new March options just on that one card- can you spot them all?

Well, that it’s for now, I have to head in to work early to get the crock pot going- we’re having an Irish lunch today and I can’t wait.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day and be safe out there, thanks for visiting my blog! Come back on Friday- I’m in another Blog Hop and you’ll love all the spring and Easter projects and inspiration from the other 12 demonstrators and myself too of course.
