Gift card holder

Hello friends,

Here is a quick & easy card great for giving gift cards, great for all occasions.

I attached the Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165990) to a piece of Thick Basic White card (#159230).

I cut the Basic Black card (#121688) 24cm x 7cm and scored at 12cm. I punched a half circle in the top of another piece of the DSP and taped it to the card, leaving the top so you can insert the gift cards. I added a piece of Basic White card (#166781) to the left side.

“Happy Birthday” from the Layered Thoughts stamp set (#165346) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used a Branching Out die (#165775) to cut the greeting and attached it to the card.

“Love what you do and share what you love.”

Party Alphabet dies

Hello again,

This card would be a great masculine card but easily changed to a feminine card by using different colours & Designer Series Papers.

I cut the letters with the Party Alphabet Dies (#165263) using Basic Black card (#121688) and Real Red card (#106578). I taped the black letters to the red letters with a slight offset to give a shadow effect.

A design from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) was matted wth Real Red card then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

Below the “H” & “A”, I have used a design from the Metallic Textures Rub-Ons (#165270). The pack of Rub-Ons includes both Silver & Gold. I used silver.

“Birthday” is from the Layered Thoughts stamp set (#165346). This stamp does include “Happy” but I only wanted “Birthday”. So when I inked the stamp with Real Red ink (#147084), I covered Happy with a post it note, added the ink, removed the post it note and stamped “Birthday” onto Basic White card.

I used a Textured Notes Die (#165555) to cut the sentiment. To cut this the correct size I used a larger die to cut 2 sides, then repositioned the die to cut the other 2 sides.

The letters & “birthday” were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Love what you do and share what you love.”

Impressions Abloom

Hello friends,

I am using a mix of products for todays card, including the Impressions Abloom dies (#165610) for the flowers & leaves.

The large flower was cut from Strawberry Slush card (#165297) and the leaves from Garden Green card (#108605). For the centre of the large flower I used Darling Duckling card (#165294) and for the small flowers I used Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) and Fresh Freesia card (#155614).

“Thinking Of You” is from the Layered Thoughts stamp set (#165346). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). “Thinking” was stamped onto one of the labels from the Foiled Frames & Labels Ephemera Pack (#165616). This pack has a range of labels in a variety of shapes & sizes.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#166781) with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder (#165614). I attached a piece of the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper (#165603) to the card front, then matted this with Strawberry Slush card. The base card is Basic White.

The sentiments & large flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The flower centre, leaves & small flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).
