12 Days of Gift Card Holders – Day 5

December 16, 2018 · 2 Comments

It’s Sunday. I’m moving slowly today! But, got a double share of sorts today!

This is a classic style gift card holder that I’m sharing today.

And, the inside –

You’ve probably made a slew of these over time, but might have forgotten about them.

The gift card ‘pops’ up!

As I created this and covered almost the whole thing in Designer Series Paper, I thought, why not just make it out of Designer Series Paper to save a step? Duh.

I did use a different sentiment. And, reversed the paper. Until opened –

Lovely, right?

Directions –

card stock base is 4 1/4 x 10
score at 2, 5, 6, 7
fold 2, 5 score lines valley style
fold 6 mountain style
fold 7 valley style
adhere edges of 5/6 together on edges with Tear & Tape
use Classic Label punch to create an opening slit to hold a gift card, 2 punched next to one another, test fit size of gift card
decorate outside
use hook & loop dot as a closure
Designer Series Paper was 4″ wide, same score lines, but this way, you get three from one sheet!!

I really like these two versions! Both are quick and easy. A great basic idea to have in your stash of ‘how to’ ideas!!

Blogging Friends Blog Hop – February – Red

February 1, 2018 · 8 Comments

Happy first day of February and, happy Three Post Thursday!

My second post is a blog hop for a group of us we call ourselves, Blogging Friends Blog Hop!

As you can see, our theme is Red.

What a bold color to feature, and my favorite color by the way!

I love using as much as I can when I create. Here is the perfect example…..

First card –

And, my second card –

See how the two cards use the negative and the positive cut out? And, they both use similar elements.

Sentiment is from the same stamp set, Petal Palette, either framelit cut or punched out.

Both cards use the same embossing folder, Petal Pair. And, heart cut from the Lots to Love Box Framelits.

I hope you love these two cards and see just how to use all pieces when creating! Check out my other posts for today too – I have lots to share!

Blog hops are a continuous loop of blog that you travel to see their creations. Going forward, you’ll head over to, Mary, going back, you head to Crystal. Please take the time to leave a comment. I love hearing from you!

Square Season of Cheer

November 22, 2017 · 1 Comment

As some are prepping for Thanksgiving, others are prepping for a weekend of creativity!

I had a home show this past weekend. The ladies wanted to create Christmas cards…..so, this one of the ones we created –

I just absolutely love this style of card! It quick and fun! And, it’s really a show stopper. The ladies really liked it! A real no fail design!

I started with a square card. All the layers are square too! On the top layer, I was able to punch in the direct center with ease. This style of card is quick and simple to re-create. You should try it!
