Christmas Gift Card Holders

Merry Christmas Eve!

I've "stamped my fingers off" this December! I counted everything, and between Thanksgiving and today, I stamped and assembled 215 cards. Guess what? I'm tired! LOL. I'm writing my blogs for the weekend ahead of time, and I'm not stamping all weekend. Well, unless I get a really fun stamp or tool for Christmas, or unless I get some free time, or unless...... well, you know me, I'll probably end up stamping something.

My blog today is pictures only - I posted the instructions for this simple gift card holder in this October post, and as I said back in October, we always end up needing a few holders for gift cards. And I made some for a customer, too. So here are pics of the 9 designs - I made 4 of each. The papers are mostly Stampin' Up, and Paper Studio. The stamps are Stampin' Up, Hampton Art, and Heartfelt Creations. And my craft room was an absolute mess when I was done because I used every kind of marker, glitter, adhesive, ribbon, etc., and didn't put anything away as I went (another reason I'm not stamping for a couple of days).

Anyway, enjoy the pics, and have a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Instructions

BASE CARD

Cut a piece of light green cardstock, measuring 7" x 10", score at 5", and fold.

MAT LAYERS

Cut a piece of burgundy cardstock measuring 4 1/2" x 6 5/8". Cut a piece of patterned paper measuring 3 1/2" x 6 1/2". Mount the patterned paper on the left most side of the burgundy paper, leaving a small border on the left, and a wider border on the right.

Stamp the Christmas sentiment in burgundy ink in the upper third of the patterned paper.

Stamp the holly leaf with the swirl in burgundy ink in the lower third of the patterned paper. Enhance these images with a Clear Star Gelly Roll pen. Stamp the holly leaf again using green ink on light green paper, cut it out, and glue it over the burgundy stamped leaf.

Mount a glittery strip of ribbon diagonally across the lower portion of the mat layers, then mount the layers onto the card front, again leaving a small border at the left, and a larger border on the right.

HOLLY BORDER

Cut/emboss the holly accent border using light green paper. Use a sponge to apply green ink before removing the paper from the die. Trim the die cut pattern to fit the mat layers. Use the dries clear glue to mount the border along the edge of the patterned paper. Enhance the darker green areas with a clear SPICA pen. Use burgundy Stickles for the circle at the base of each group of three leaves.

POINSETTIA

Stamp three poinsettia images using Versamark ink on rose paper, and heat emboss with tranlucent burgundy embossing glitter. Be careful not to overheat - too much heat will flatten the color and sparkle.

Cut out the flowers, and trim into the center of each flower around the whole petals. Bend the five whole petals up, and leave the partial petals flat. Glue the largest poinsettia to the front of the card using Zip-Dry glue so that it covers the intersection of the large holly leaf, the ribbon and the holly border.

Mount the medium poinsettia in the center of the largest using a foam square, and the smallest into the center of the medium blossom using another foam square. Finish with three large light pink and three small dark pink adhesive gems in the center of the poinsettia.

You + Me = Friendship

Inspiration

Here's a card I made for a friend who also has a November birthday. I'm very drawn to the letterpress effect - it seems so elegant. I've been trying the letterpress plates, but still haven't quite perfected the use yet. I can't get the whole piece of paper clean, so I finally just cut out the image and used it by itself!

Rotary Trimmer (Fiskars)

Instructions

BASE CARD

Start with a whole sheet (8 1/2" x 11") of black card stock, score in the middle at 5 1/2", and fold.

MAT LAYERS

Cut a piece of caramel card stock measuring 5 3/8" x 8 3/8", and cut/emboss one short end using the edger die from the Triple Scallop Edgeabilities set, and the Fleur de Lis decorative insert from the Classic Bracket set.

Cut a piece of patterned paper measuring 5" x 7". Mount a strip of ribbon across the middle, and mount the patterned paper onto the caramel card stock mat. Mount the mat layers onto the front of the card.

IMAGE

Use black ink on the letterpress plate, and press the corner image into a square of white card stock. Trim the pressed image out.

Stamp the image in black ink on white paper, and cut/emboss the image using a wonky rectangle die that allows room for the whole image.

Color most of the image with COPIC markers. I used these colors:

  • Skin: E0000, E00, R11
  • Hair: Y11, E15, E18
  • Capris: E30, E33
  • Chairs/Table: B32, W0, W4
  • Vase/Rose: B00, R81
  • Coffe Cups: E30, E47

For the sparkly shirt and dress, fill in the areas with the quickie glue pen, and cover in the microfine glitter. Then color over the glitter with the SU! markers. I used Sage Shadow for the shirt and matching shoes, and Bravo Burgundy for the dress and matching shoes.

Cut a burgundy card stock piece measuring 5" x 5 1/4", and mount on the card front. Mount the image in the lower right area of the burgundy mat. Add the trimmed letterpress to give the appearance of an awning using foam squares. Tie a bow matching the ribbon, and mount in the upper right corner of the image.

SENTIMENT

Stamp the sentiment in burgundy ink on white card stock, and punch it out using the Key Tag punch. Mount it to the left of the "awning" with foam tape (using foam tape makes it fit under the already mounted awning).
