Christmas Gift Card Holders

  I’ve put together this collection of 12 original Christmas gift card/money holders using a variety of products from the 2009/2010 Idea Book and Catalogue.  Some can be put in an envelope and given as a card and others are designed to hang on a Christmas tree. 

 

Update: I've had several people ask why this is no longer available. This was one of my first classes and it was a pdf file that I emailed out. I lost many of my old files last spring when my computer crashed and I no longer have the document. I hadn't intended to repost it but when I updated my post to say it was no longer available, it went up as a new post. I don't want to remove it as several people have linked to it so here it is...an old random post of an unavailable class front and centre.    

Stocking Gift Card Holder

This is a quick and easy gift card holder I designed for our Christmas SAS class. I used the Petite Pocket die, the Holiday Stocking die and the Stocking Accents die (all from Stampin' Up). I love using the big shot when you have to prep over 100 cards.

To make this gift card holder cut a stocking from DSP and one stocking with toe, heel and cuff from White card stock. Cut a petite pocket from white card stock and cut it off at the scoreline. You can download the class handout  Download Stocking Gift Card Holder for instructions on how to assemble your gift card holder. If you'd like to use this handout for a class, feel free.

Graduation Gift Card Holder

Here’s one more gift card holder in time for Graduation. I used one of Stampin’ Up’s small open end envelopes (6 ¾” x 2 ½”). You can buy cheap envelopes in this size but since the envelope is the base of your gift card holder go for quality.  Score the bottom of your envelope at 2”, fold and punch the bottom edge with the scallop border punch to hold your gift card. Cut a 4 ¼” x 3” mat for the card insert and a piece of White 4” x 2 ¾”. I used the Round Tab punch for the tab.

The cap is 3 ½” square. Here's a video on how to make the tassel. I used crochet cotton for this one but I prefer the new baker’s twine for the tassels. It hangs so much nicer.

Masculine Gift Set

I was asked to be a guest designer for U Stamp with Dawn and Friends. This is my first project made with the #2 Box die. The color combo is Chocolate Chip, Perfect Plum, Marina Mist and Sahara Sand. Stamp Sets: More Monkey Accessories and Sincere Salutations. I also used the square latice embossing folder for the inlaid embossed panels. I found the chocolate cell phone at a local chocolate factory. It fit perfectly in Stampin' Up's small cello bag. Here's the tutorial Download Masculine Gift Set

Photo Card

I've been seeing a lot of requests for photo cards so I thought I would start posting a few. Here's a simple one made with the medallion stamp. Scroll down for the video tutorial.

I've added the printable planner to my Stamp a Stack Class. If you've already purchased the class you can go to the site and download the file to use for your next SAS.

Bunny Envelope

 

Easter dinner is at my house this year so I made these little treat envelopes for the kids.  I used the 3”x3” envelopes, cut the top off and decorated the top with a ¾” strip of DSP.  I used my Scallop Oval die to make the ears. Cut an oval then fold it in half lengthwise placing the folded side along the oval edge to cut the other side of the ear. The face is made from punches

Flower: Boho Blossoms

Cheeks: 1 ¼” Circle

Eyes: Extra Large Bird Punch & ½”Circle

Nose: Heart to Heart

Teeth: Double Rectangle

Mouth: ½” Circle
