Poppy Gifts

Am I the only one with lots of left-over Designer Series Papers? Somehow, as we get near the end of the current catalog, I find I have heaps of paper that I have been ~~hoarding~~ using sparingly, and now will be retiring before I get to use it! 😮 So I've been playing with different ideas (and copying some from others) trying to use it all up.

Here's a simple gift card holder that you can make with smaller pieces of designer series paper.

Although I can't recall where I saw this, I believe it's a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) of another demonstrator's card. But I love the designer papers, and the simple poppy stamp.

Starting with a piece of Basic Black cardstock, cut the paper to 5-1/2" x 7", scoring at 4-1/4". This creates a standard size card, but with a shorter "flap" on the front. DSP is adhered to the top flap, and Whisper White and DSP are added to the inside:

However, the DSP is only adhered on the two sides and along the bottom, leaving a pocket:

Such an easy gift card holder!

Why not try this with some of your left-over DSP; it's a great way to use it up, and is sure to encourage a smile from the recipient!

Here are your measurements:

Basic Black cardstock: 5-1/2" x 7", score at 4-1/4"
2-1/8" x 3-3/8"
Whisper White cardstock: 5-1/4" x 2-3/4" (for the inside)
2" x 3-1/4" (for the stamped image on the front)
Designer Series Paper: 5-1/4" x 2-1/2" (for the front flap)
5-1/4" x 1-1/2" (for the inside - use Tear & Tape Adhesive on each end and
along the bottom edge)

Now get ready to make someone smile!
