Tricia's Stamping Creations: New At SU November Blog Hop Gift Card Holders

Welcome to the New At SU November Blog Hop as we showcase Gift Card Holder ideas to help inspire you. Our Design Team members will be sharing their ideas and projects to help spark your creativity and help you create your own beautiful gift card holders to give to family and friends.

For my Gift Card Holder, I chose to create a simple design that is easy to duplicate. With the holidays approaching quickly, it helps to have a supply on hand in case you need a last minute gift for someone special. For my card design, I chose to use the cute Seal of Approval stamp set and paired it with one of the designs from the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper. This Wintery themed card design would work well as a birthday card as well as for Christmas.

This cute Gift Card Holder is so much fun to create and works for a variety of occasions. The basic layout is simple to create by folding the score lines at 5 1/2" & 9 1/4" to create the front and inside flap for the gift card. I used the Essential Tag Punch to create an opening along the edge of the Pacific Point cardstock flap before sticking it down with Tear & Tape. This makes it easier to slide the gift card in and out of the flap. The layers are easy to assemble and help dress up the design to make it special. I used one of the Wonderful Snowflakes to decorate the card front, cutting it in half to go behind the top and bottom of the Stitched Circle. I stamped the large seal with Basic Gray Classic ink and the small seal with Smoky Slate and fussy cut them both out with Paper Snips. For the inside layer, I added the side panel to the inside large Basic White panel, along the right side. I added a piece of the Silver Metallic Edge Cotton Ribbon along the left edge of the Balmy Blued cardstock and added a faux bow to the center. I stamped the front and inside sentiments with Pacific Point Classic ink to coordinate with the card design. The heart on the front was die cut using the Give It A Whirl Dies and I colored the heart with Clear Wink of Stella to give it some shimmer. To embellish the sentiment, I colored two of the Heart Pearls with the Dark Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the sentiment label.
