BYOP Daydream Medallions Gift Card Holder

Hi, Friends,
Today I am sharing with you a gift card holder we made at April Play Day:


Here is the inside of the gift card holder as we made it at Play Day:


The gift card fit in the cutout area left from the Deco Label Framelits die.  I wasn't extremely happy with the way the gift card fit in this version, so after Play Day I "played" around with it a bit and came up with this, which I like a lot better:


I took a Number 1 Coin Envelope (buy them at office supply store) and cut off the flap and punched part of a 1" circle punch out to make it easier to get the gift card out.  Here is a close up of the envelope:


Here is my recipe for this project:

September 2013 Play Day Projects, Project Two

The bow die for the Big Shot was introduced at the Stampin Up Annual Convention this year, and one of the samples they showed at that time was a card very similar to this one:


I basically just changed the card from a birthday card to a Christmas card.  I also saw a similar card on Julie Davidson's blog and she has an excellent video tutorial if you are interested in making this card.

When the card opens up, it looks like this:



A gift card is attached to the inside part that comes up when the card is opened!  The reason you sww the sentiment on the framelit piece is that I forgot to stamp the sentiment until after my card was together and I found out that it doesn't stamp well when you try to stamp with a bow on the other side!  So I fixed the awful stamping by restamping the sentiment and cutting it out with the little framelit, then covering my mistake!

My recipe for this card:

CARDSTOCK:
     Crumb Cake:  4-1/4 x 11, scored at 1-1/2 and 7

     Season of Style DSP:  1-1/4 x 4
     Silver Glimmer Paper:  1 x 4-1/4
     Old Olive:  1/4 x 4-1/4
     Scraps:  Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler

Gift Card Holder May Play Day Project

Today I am sharing a project from our May Play Day, a beautiful gift card holder!


And a picture of the open gift card holder:

Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  None

     Baja Breeze:  3-1/8 X 8-1/2 scored at 2 and 6
     Twitterpated DSP:

For those of you who know me, my beautiful cat Punkin is sitting on my lap with his front paws on the keyboard, so if there are any mistakes in this post, that is why!  Punkin often "helps" my husband with his computer work, and seems to be best at making the computer screen image turn sideways!  We love you Punkin!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy stampin and scrappin,

December Play Day Gift Card Holder!

I found the instructions for this awesome gift card holder on Stampin Connection, the Stampin Up Demo only web site.  This makes up fast and easy and uses a minimal amount of cardstock!


Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  Merry and Type, More Merry Messages

CARDSTOCK:
     Cherry Cobbler:  4-1/4 x 11, score at 3" down the long side, score at 3" and 7" down the short side
     (cut 1-1/4 x 7 along the short section and middle section, save for belly band)
     Be of Good Cheer DSP:  2-3/4 x 2-3/4 (2), 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 (3)
     Very Vanilla:  2-3/4 x 3-3/4
     Be of Good Cheer DSP:  1 x 7
     Scrap:  Very Vanilla

INK:  Cherry Cobbler

MARKERS:  Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler

ACCESSORIES:  Extra Large Oval Punch, Sticky Tape, Dimensionals

The gift card looks like this when opened:


I like the way it has an obvious space to sign your name and write a short message, if desired.  I give gift cards to several friends every year, and actually don't sign the gift card holder so that they can recycle the gift card holder, which they LOVE!

And one more picture:


Sorry, I can't get this picture to rotate, but I added it to show you the back of the gift card holder before it is folded up.  Hope it helps, even without rotating it!

Kelly Gettelfinger has a great video which you can watch here, if you want step by step directions:
