Floral Delight Gift Card Holder

OK, are you ready to see an adorable gift card holder?  I was playing with the Notes & Totes dies and came up with this card:


 I had first made this:


Aww, isn't that cute?  

Using the Floral Delight designer series paper, I cut two of the "tote" dies, as well as some Pecan Pie trim pieces.  



It's pretty easy to put the pieces together to create a little 3-dimensional tote bag.  

And look!  I even added a sweet pocket!


So then I got to playing and figuring out how to make a coordinating card.

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White and added a piece of Brights 6" x 6" DSP in Daffodil Delight.  

But it looked a little plain, so I stamped a few of the flowers from Delightful Wishes (the stamp set that coordinates with the Floral Delight paper) directly on the paper.  I also added the greetings, from Tune In and Attention Shoppers.


And once I added the tote bag, I realized that I could pop it up so that it would hold a gift card - perfect for the "shopping is always a good idea" sentiment, right?


What an adorable combination!

Note & Totes will be released on May 6th when the 2025-26 Annual Catalog goes live.  

But if you like this card, you may want to be sure to grab Tune In and Attention Shoppers (two of my favorite sets), as well as the Floral Delight DSP, as they are on the Last Chance List and will be retiring when they are all gone.  And there's so much more!  So don't miss out!

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!  ðŸ˜®  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!

A Dressed To Impress Week

Last week I showed you how to create a pretty box for gifting or storing your handmade cards.  You can see the video here.  And here is the box:



This week I'll be showing you the cards that I put in this box, all using the Dressed to Impress stamp set and All Dressed Up dies.  This makes such a fun gift!

So today, I have a fun gift-card holder for you.


This is a typical 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of Lovely Lipstick cardstock, folded in half, but I cut 1-1/2" off one end, so I actually used cardstock measuring 5-1/2" x 7".  The Best Dressed Designer Series Paper is used for the front flap, and the inside bottom flap, but look:


The DSP on the inside is added with Tear & Tape Adhesive on the sides and bottom only, leaving a pocket for a gift card.  So cute!


I decorated the focal image on the front using the high heeled shoes (stamped with Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Lovely Lipstick Stampin' Blends and cut with the All Dressed Up dies), a rose from the same set, and a greeting from the New Wonders host set.


I included a decorated envelope:


So easy to add a piece of the DSP to the flap of the envelope and cut around the edge to create this coordinating envelope.  

I loved creating with Dressed to Impress!  Come back all week to see what else I made.
