Easy Gift Card Holders

By on November 26, 2022 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! This time of year I am always in need of cute gift card holders, so today I have some EASY gift card holders to share!

I’m using some cute stamps and a new stencil called Cuppa Joe to Go from Miss Ink Stamps. Watch the video below or on YouTube:

These gift card holders are perfect to add into a stocking, hang on the tree or use them like I am this year: as a necklace around a Squishmallow!

Give Thanks

Hello! Today I want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! I have created some fun Thanksgiving (as well as holiday cards) to share.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





All these cards (and signs) have one thing in common: FOIL! I’m sharing how to make all these cards using vellum or acetate AND Foil on the latest Foiling Friday at Maker Forte.





Watch the video below:














		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I LOVED creating these cards, including shaker cards using a full sheet of acetate! That penguin card might be my favorite…but I did make many mistakes on that card. I share HOW to fix them and create a fun look.

Ice Bouquet

Hello! Today I have a quick holiday card to share with you. I’m using the new Ice Bouquet stamp set from Maker Forte. It’s such a beautiful image!






		
		
			
			
		
	





For this card, I stamped the image and colored it with Copic markers. Then I used the Candy Cane stripe stencil to ink on some light inks in red and green. I did not mask the image off, but I was careful to not ink over the image.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I added some Stardust Stickles (my favorite!) over the ice skate for some glittery shine. Then I finished it off with some iridescent sequins.

Hot Cocoa Gift Cards

Hello! Today I’m sharing Hot Cocoa Gift Card Holders using some new favorite products from Heffy Doodle!





Watch the video below or on YouTube:













I have 3 different card ideas for this set (and that’s not all there is to do with this set), but I do hope this inspires you!





1. Front Flap Card





This first card is so fun…it has a front flap for your gift card AND you can open the card to write a sentiment too!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





2. Fall Shaker Card





This is an easy way to make a shaker! I absolutely adore the Sparkle Mixes from Heffy Doodle: not only do they have sequins, but they also have GEMS!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





3. Holiday Shaped Card





This hot cocoa cup makes the cutest shaped card! It’s so easy when you follow my trick I share in the video. And YES, that is corrugated cardboard I die cut for the holder!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





There’s still plenty of room to add a gift card inside!

Have an Ice Day
By  on November 12, 2022  in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I’m excited to be sharing one of my favorite penguin cards I’ve ever made! I do love penguins and especially penguins that make me smile, and this set from Miss Ink Stamps is a favorite.





Watch the video below or on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





How cute are these penguins?!? I love them..and there are quite a few more penguin images in the stamp set, too. Today I chose 2 penguins and the snowbank for this card.





I started out by stenciling those trees using the treeline stencil. I used a variety of Distress Oxide inks: Tumbled Glass, Uncharted Mariner, Pine Needles, Peeled Paint, and Twisted Citron.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Next, I added some Grit Paste Snowfall and then added some extra glitter while it was still wet. I love a good glitter background!





While that was drying, I colored up those penguins and the snowbank. I embossed the sentiment in white and inked on some Uncharted Mariner ink for a “matching” sentiment.






		
		
			
			
		
	





When the background was dry, I put it all together with foam tape. I also added some glitter paper to the bottom of the panel for extra shine!

If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support! 












		
		
			
			
		
	





I hope you loved this project today! I’ll be back real soon with more cards to share!
