Christmas Gift Card Holder

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well!

Today I am popping in with one last (I think) Christmas project for the month of July.

My kiddos are older so buying gifts gets a little more challenging, especially when they prefer gift cards or cash. So I decided to make a cute little gift card holder so that it was a little more festive. This adorable little image from Digi Doodle Studios was perfect for what I had in mind.

I started by creating my fun pocket using an older die from Sizzix called, Pocket w/ Scallop Edge. I can't even remember the last time I used this die but I am glad I kept it cause it was the perfect size! I used some fun and bright green striped paper to create my pocket and set it aside while I worked on coloring the image. I printed out my image, Elf Gift Surprise, onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock and colored it with my Copic markers. Once I had my image colored, I ran it through my Scan N Cut to cut it out. I trimmed down a piece of vellum to fit on top of my pocket and adhered my image to it. I hid some foam tape behind my image so that I could pop up my vellum piece to the front of my pocket. I added some white doodles with a paint pen and added some hemp cording and jingle bells to finish my project.

I added some clear Wink Of Stella to the ornaments and some gold Stickles to the Elf's clothes for a little extra Christmas sparkle!

On the back, I just added a simple little To & From. 

Copic Colors Used:

--Skin: E50, E51, E21--

--Hair: E23, E25--

--Greens: YG25, YG17, G07--

--Reds: R27, R29, R39, RV11--

--Yellow: Y26, Y28--

--Cool Grays: C00, C0, C1--

I would also like to play along with the following challenges:

--Die Cut Divas: Christmas In July--

--Merry Little Christmas Challenge: #69 Anything Christmas Goes--

&

--Inkspirational: #372 Christmas in July--

Products Used:

• Cardstock: White (Hammermill), Vellum
• Patterned Paper: Very Merry (MFT)
• Image: Elf Gift Surprise (Digi Doodle Studios)
• Dies: Pocket w/Scallop Edge (Sizzix), Punch (SU!)
• Misc.: White Paint Pen, White Hemp Cord, Red Jingle Bells, Gold Stickles Foam Tape

Sip Sip Hooray!

 Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog!

I love having thank you cards in my stash so I decided to make a fun one using some tag dies!

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I wanted to have a gift card holder that also doubled as a card so that a message could be written to the recipient & this one was so super simple to make!

I started by cutting the tag from the Pocket Tag Die out twice from some Kraft cardstock. I cut off the pocket on one of the pieces and then scored along the top so that it would bend once it was attached to the tag with the pocket. I stamped the sentiment from the Coffee & Friends stamp set onto the pocket and added some hearts from the Embellishment Clusters Die. I added a striped scallop using some patterned paper and a die from the Pocket Tag Die to the pocket and a coordinating bow that I cut out using the Bow Dies. I added a couple of white Nuvo drops to complete my card. 

This doesn't even have to be used as a Thank You, it could also be used as a random act of kindness :)

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!
I really appreciate it!
I hope you have a great crafty day!

Jaded Blossom's August Mini Release!

Happy Thursday! 

It's time for our new mini Chipmunk release over at Jaded Blossom! 

We have four new items available! Check them out HERE

Here is what I made using the new items.. 

Chipmunks!!! How cute!!

For my first project, I decided to make a get well card that is sure to bring a

 smile to the recipient, at least I hope so!

I started by creating a Kraft A2 top folding card and layering floral patterned paper on top along with a couple of yellow plaid stripes. I used the Rectangle Internal Scallops to cut out a piece of brown cardstock and adhered it to a piece of polka dot paper. I stamped my sentiment from the Nuts About You stamp set towards the bottom, added a piece of vellum, and popped the piece onto my card with foam tape. I used the Gnome Friends: Chipmunk Die and Chipmunk Faces to build my little chipmunk and gave her a flower to hold from the Sunflower Dies and placed her above my sentiment. I added a small thread bow to her hair to complete my card.

For my second project, 

I wanted to make a fun gift card holder to have on hand for a little birthday gift.

I first created my bag by using the Goody Bag Die and cutting it from teal cardstock. I added some plaid patterned paper to the front before assembling the bag. Once it was assembled, I used the Border Dies to create a little handle. I added a Oval from the Stitched Oval Dies and placed my chipmunk that I created using the Gnome Friends: Chipmunk Die, Chipmunk Faces and the Balloon Dies to the center. I stamped my sentiment from the Nuts About You and used the coordinating Nuts About You Outline Dies to cut it out. I placed it under my chipmunk and added a little bow to her hair to complete the bag.

I added a few pieces of almond candy, a gift card and a tiny bit of white paper shred to the inside.

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today...

I needed a birthday card and this pocket was not only perfect but made gifting some cash extra cute!!

I started by creating a square card base that measures 4.25"x4.25", that way it still fits into a standard A2 envelope. I cut a scallop from the Scallop Square Dies and layered a piece of patterned paper that I cut out using the Stitched Square Dies on top and popped it up onto my card base with some foam tape.  I created my pocket using the Denim Pocket Die and added a tiny sentiment from the Pocket Full Of Sunshine stamp set and adhered it to my card front. I had some denim paper in my stash, from quite awhile ago, that actually has a fabric feel to it so it was perfect! I added a few cheery flowers from the Flower Dies (leaves from the Spring Dies) and Denim Pocket Die to complete my card.

Inside the card, I added another sentiment from the Pocket Full Of Sunshine stamp set along with a Happy Birthday from the So Many Birthdays 3.

Here is a look at what I created to share with you today...

I love being able to get a little ahead of the holiday season and do as many Christmas in July projects as I can, so this challenge was the perfect time to make a couple of gift card holders.

I used the Stocking Gift Card Die and cut it out twice (to make 2 gift cards) from some white cardstock. I cut them out again, using some patterned papers so that I could layer on top of my white base. I added a little tag that I created using the Gift Tags stamp set and the Mini Tag Dies 2 and adhered that to the upper corner. I created a little double bow using the Bow Dies and added a little puffy Santa sticker to the center before adding it to the top of my tag. 

I added some white doodles and some small puffy stickers to finish my gift card holders. 

Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom blog to see what the rest of the DT made, they never disappoint!

Here is a look at what I created to share with you today:

I used the Pocket Tag Die to create a gift card holder. I cut it out twice, once in white cardstock and again in the floral patterned paper. I trimmed down the patterned paper and adhered it to inside of my gift card holder, instead of having a white background. I used the same patterned paper and the layering die that comes with the Pocket Tag Die for my front panel. I used the Scallop Circle Dies and cut out a circle in white and also in Vellum, layering them on top of each other. I die cut a bouquet and some rings using the Gnome Dies: Wedding Add Ons and added them to the front of my gift card. I stamped my sentiment using the Gnome Wedding Day stamp set and used the coordinating Gnome Wedding Day Outline Dies to cut it out, popping it up with some foam tape for a little dimension. I finished my gift card holder by adding some pearls to the flower centers, a heart from the Embellishment Clusters Die and some white satin ribbon.

I think it is so pretty and it has so much sparkle, I just couldn't seem to capture it.

Here is a look at the project that I made to share with you:

How cute right??

This little gift card is adorable and so simple to make. 

Here's how I did it:

I used the Gnome Gift Card Slider Die to cut out some holly print patterned paper and adhered the two pieces together to create the sleeve. I created my bow by using the pieces that come with the Gnome Gift Card Slider Die and cutting it out using some red glitter cardstock. I die cut a piece of white cardstock, created the notches for the gift card and added my little elf to the top. 

I created my elf by using the following dies: Girl Gnome Dies, Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Faces, Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 1 (for the holly on her hat). I added a little tag by using the Gnome Gift Card Slider Die along with the Gnome Peeking stamp set and tucking it under my bow. 

This fits a gift card wonderfully!

Jaded Blossom's April Release Blog Hop

Hey Everyone! 

 Welcome to Jaded Blossom's April Stamp Release Blog Hop.  

If you're here from Lee'Ann's Blog you're in the right place, if you're just passing through be sure to start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing.  I also have the complete line up at the bottom.
Here is a look at what I made:

First up is a masculine birthday card made using some older die sets from Jaded Blossom along with the NEW Gnome Dies: Tools Add Ons, Nailed It Stamp Set and Nailed It Outline Dies.I started by creating a white top folding A2 card from white cardstock and doodling around the perimeter with a black Micron pen. I die cut two rectangles using the Rectangle Dies 2 from two different gray cardstocks. I added a bit of doodling and then adhered them to my card front. I built my little handy man using the Gnome Dies & Gnome Dies: Tool Add Ons and popped him up onto my card with foam tape. I stamped my greeting from the Nailed It Stamp set & used the coordinating Nailed It Outline Dies to cut it out. I popped it up onto my card with foam tape and lightly inked around the perimeter of my card base with some black soot distress ink to complete my card. 
Next, I decided to make a fun little treat and gift card holder to go along with my card.

So cute! 

I used the Crate die and cut it from red cardstock. I placed a piece of black cardstock on the inside to cover the crate openings and placed some thin gray strips to act as the drawer pulls. I cut pieces of cardstock to cover the sides and the back of my box. I cut a piece of cardstock 3 1/8" x 6" & did a little scoring to create my lid. I will place all the dimensions of the pieces I cut below. There is also a quick video showing how I did it. I added a little handle to the top and some tools from the Gnome Dies: Tool Add Ons to decorate my little box. To keep it closed, I added a small bit of velcro. 

Inside the box, I added some black paper shred, a gift card and some little chocolate candies that I covered using gray cardstock, the Tool Stencil and Candy Wrap Dies.

I think this is such a cute little set to give to your favorite Handyman!

Cardstock Cuts for the Tool Box:--2 pieces of red cut using the Crate Die--Black Piece (for the inside front) cut at 3" x 2 1/8"-- 4 Gray drawer pulls cut at 2 3/4" x 1/8"--Red piece for outside back cut at 3" x 2 1/8"--2 red pieces for the 2 sides each cut at 2 1/8" x 2 5/8"--Handle from black cut at 3/8" x 3 3/4" scored at 1/2" and 1", flip and score the other side the same.--1 piece of red for lid cut at 3" x 6" & scored on the 6" side at 2 3/4" & 5"*note: my above tool box lid actually measures at 3 1/8" x 6".However 3" or 3 1/8" both work, there will just be less of a gap with the 3 1/8"
