Birthday Bonanza

I'm sending a gift card to my granddaughter for her birthday.  I'd love to go shopping for her, but circumstances as they are, that was not possible.  So I made her a cute card that also holds a gift card:


This simple gift card holder starts with a piece of 4-1/4" x 11" cardstock (I used Bermuda Bay).  It's scored, as a usual card, at 5-1/2", but then it is scored again at 3".


That second score line is what creates the pocket for the gift card.  Neat, huh?

Prior to adhering the pocket you'll want to punch a little "thumb" hold, using a small circle punch.  Then just decorate as desired.  I love the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper, and used that, along with the Bonanza Buddies stamps.



My little toucan was stamped with Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Stampin' Blends, and cut out with the coordinating Bonanza dies.  There's even a die for the balloons!

I know my granddaughter wants a bathing suit for her birthday, so I hope our quarantines will soon end so she can go shopping!

Happy Birthday, Vickie!

Sneak Peek: Bonanza Buddies and Bonanza Dies

I've got a peek at some new goodies coming January 3rd when the new January-June Mini Catalog is released.  Take a look:


This is such a bright and cheery card (necessary now that the Oregon dreary, rainy weather has arrived!).  Lots of new products on this card, but the card came together in just a few minutes.


Bonanza Buddies is a new stamp set.  It contains adorable figures that are perfect for a child's birthday, but there are also images to create candles (on this card), balloons and presents.  In fact, THIS card is for my mother-in-law, who is about to turn 92 next week--no longer a "kid", but she is still young at heart!

And check out that banner - yep!  One of the dies that comes in the bundle.  And that stitched tag?  Also part of the die set.  LOVE!


For the inside, I stamped the balloon strings, then cut balloons with the dies to make a cute, coordinating balloon bouquet.

And don't forget to finish the envelope:


The Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper is a mix of fabulous bright colors and designs, perfect for celebrating any birthday or happy occasion.

Watch for the January-June Mini Catalog and all the wonderful products, coming soon!
