Christmas Blocks - Gift Card Holders

Hello Everyone!!  It's Sheri here with a fun Christmas project using the NEW Christmas Blocks stamp set from the Holiday Release.  I don't know about you but one of my go to gifts during the holiday season are gift cards and I am always creating some fun packaging for them.   These were super easy to put together and I've included the dimensions and directions on how to create these.

And here's a peek in the inside:

Supplies needed to create the gift card holder:

• Piece of Card Stock measuring 3" x 8 1/2"

• Scoring Tool (I used my Scor-Pal)

• Scor-Tape (or Any Strong Adhesive)

• Decorative Paper (To decorate both the outside & inside)

• Ribbon or Twine (You can tie around front flap or wrap around to keep the holder closed)

  
To create the gift card holder:

•  Score a 8 1/2" x 3 pieces of Card Stock at 1 1/2" & 5"

•  Use a bone folder for crisp scored lines

•  Add Scor-Tape (or Strong Adhesive) to the sides of the 1 1/2" sectio

• Stamp & Decorate 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Merry Christmas!

Are you already in a Christmas mood after all our cards this month? I am! (meanwhile, we're having the highest temperatures we've had in weeks in the Netherlands, so the weather is feeling more like summer than the last couple of months have felt haha).

I've got another Christmas card to share with you today. For this card I used the Christmas borders set. These images are so beautiful and detailed that you don't even have to color them (but they look lovely when you do too, of course).

I stamped one of the borders and the message 'Merry Christmas' with white ink on a black paper. I added a little bit of sparkles to the stamped images with clear sparkling embossing powder (it's so subtle it doesn't show in the pictures). I used this stamped image as a focal point for my card and just added some patterned papers and sequins to finish my card. Clean and simple, great when you have to make a lot of Christmas cards!

I used the 'Christmas Borders' stamp set.

Have a nice day!

Borders Galore!

Hello everyone, Stephanie here to share with you today.  Have you been enjoying the Christmas Stamps the team has been showcasing?  So many awesome new sets to play with.  Today I am showing you the set called Christmas Borders by Krista Hamrick, such a fun set to work with by itself or it is great to combine with other sets.

For my card I stamped the sentiment in clear Versamark embossing ink and used red embossing powder and then stamped the garland in black ink and used clear embossing powder, colored in with copics and paired it with some great paper from Authentique.
