Catching Butterflies – Sale-a-bration Gift Card Holder

Leave a comment January 23, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Sale-a-bration is the BEST time of year since you can earn FREE stamp sets and Designer Series Paper ( DSP) with every purchase of $60CAD (subtotal). This season the selection of stamps and DSP are sooo cute!

Today I created using the FREE sale-a-bration item Catching Butterflies stamp set.

Here are the dimensions of the materials I used. See the video for exactly how to cut and assemble.

Pool Party Cardstock: 5-1/2″ X 11″, score the long side at 3-3/8″ from each end. (then see video for how to cut the barn doors)

Pool Party Stitched Rectangle : 3″ X 4-3/8″

Pool Party pocket: 4″ X 3″ (die cut with basic borders clouds)

Heart & Home DSP (woodgrain): 4″ X 5-1/4″

Heart & Home DSP (green leaves): (x2) 2-3/4″ X 3-1/8″

Basic White Stitched Rectangles: (X2) 2-1/4″ X 3-5/8″

Basic White scrap to stamp girl with net

The Butterfly layer and the girl were attached to the front flap using Dimensionals. The Pool party REctangle and the sentiment layer were attached with Tear and Tape afterwards so they could be lined up to create a border aroudn the girl and butterflies.

When I attached the cloud layer I used Tear and Tape around the edges only to create a pocket for a gift card.

The finished card fits nicely in a regular Medium Basic White Envelope and perfectly hides the gift card inside.

To see all the details of these cards you can watch my video below.

Christmas Season – Gift Card Holders

Leave a comment December 16, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week I am featuring different gift card holders. I love this one since it uses DSP and is so quick and easy to make.

This design can also be easily modified for any time of the year. I love these for Teacher thank you gifts and teen birthdays.

Each gift card is created using a 4″ X 11″ piece of DSP, scored at 3″, 6″, 9″. Then you round the small end to create a nice flap.

Add tear and tape to sides of the end piece that is 3″. Then cut out the card slot and glue the end shut.

Add a piece of white cardstock inside to write on.

Next, fold it all closed, wrap a strip of coordinating 3/4″ X 8-1/2″ cardstock around the closed DSP and tape it together. Finally decorate the cardstock strip.

To see exactly how I created these – checkout the video below.

West Coast Creators Blog Hop – October 2021

4 Comments October 14, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

It’s the 14th of the month – time for another West Coast Creators Blog Hop! This one features fun folds!! Hop around see all the amazing cards created by our team members! Leave a little love and then come back to see us again on the 14th next month!

My card uses a fold whose name I don’t even know. Here are a few photos to help explain how I folded it though.

Start with a regular card, 8-1/2″ X 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. The flip it over and score again at 2-1/8″ so that it folds in the opposite direction.

Put a liner inside if you are going to have one and then close the card and hole punch through both (or all 3 layers) using the round bit on the Trio Punch.

It will look like this – punched all the way through.

Next you want to add a piece of DSP – cut at 2″ X 5-1/4″ – right along the center fold line.

Next attach the ribbon by running it through the holes on the closed card.

Then tie the ribbon around the front and back the card – creating a bow on the right hand side.

Next, create a piece to go on the front ( whatever design you want – I used the Frosted Gingerbread bundle to create mine in Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape). The inside will look like this after you attach the front panel over top of the ribbon and DSP.

That is the finished card! Have fun making your own creations with this fold!
