Pop up Gift Card Holders

     I just want to thank Kim Score for sharing her tutorial for making these pop up gift card holders on Pinterest!  I can't wait till my husband and sons open them.  The red one on the right side did not turn out the way I wanted but still works fine.  These are my versions of the gift card holders.  Hope they help you out with gift card giving ideas.  Thank you for visiting my blog!

Table from Christmas Shopping Event

     This is my table at a Christmas Shopping Event today.  There were hot chocolate sliders in the green basket but they were sold out quite quickly.  Now I know what to make lots of for next year!
The green matchbooks in the green basket held After Eight hot chocolate mix, the red matchbooks (in the striped box) held Spiced Apple Drink mix, the brown matchbooks held Rolo hot chocolate mix and the yellow ones held Coffee Crisp hot chocolate mix.  It was a fun day!  I still have lots of matchbooks, note pad holders and tea holders which I will use as gifts.

Small Post it note holders

     These small Post it note holders are made in three of the 2014-16 In Colors from Stampin' Up!  They are Mossy Meadow, Tangelo Twist and Blackberry Bliss.  The sentiment was stamped in the matching colors and with the Label Love stamp set.  The matching pens are from Staples. 

Note pad holders

     These two note pad holders each hold two 3" x 5" note pads.  They also include a matching gel pen from Staples.  The bases for both of them are made from Baked Brown Sugar from Stampin' Up!  The white card stock, stamp sets (except the trees on the green one) and the toppers to close the bags are all from Stampin' Up!  The top one is stamped in Hello Honey and Tangelo Twist classic inks.  The images and sentiment from it are from For All Things stamp set.   The bottom pad is stamped with Mossy Meadow classic ink on Natural White card stock.  The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! stamp set called Occasional Quotes and it says, "We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give".  

Another beach card

     This is a Double Dutch fold using Pacific Point card stock for the base, Whisper White card stock for the stamping mats, sand piper stamp from Wetlands stamp set.  The background on the top flap was made by rubbing masking tape on Baked Brown Sugar, Marina Mist and Soft Sky classic inks. All of these products are from Stampin' Up!  The birds were stamped with black Stazon Ink. The sentiment is punched out with the Word Window punch with the mat under it punched out with a Modern Label punch from Stampin' Up!   I had these two beach cards on display at a recent Trade Show.  They can be ordered as is or customized with different sentiment.

Beach birthday card

     This summer my husband and I went to California to help our son and daughter-in-law move to their new home.  While we were there, we spent some time at the beach with them and saw sand pipers for the first time.  I came home inspired to make beach cards!  This one was done with a navy card base and whisper white card stock, turquoise and navy ribbon.  The sand pipers are from the Wetlands stamp set from Stampin' Up!  The sentiment was also from that set.  The tag die cut is from Spellbinders.  The envelope was also stamped with this set in Baked Brown Sugar ink (my favorite).

Penguin Waterfall card and mini post it note holder

     My friend's daughter is having a penguin theme for her 10th birthday so I decided to do a penguin waterfall card and mini post it note holder for her.  Since she learned some cheerleading at school last year, I decided to count by 2's.  I found the post it note holder idea on Pootles Papercraft (Youtube) and decided to use velcro closures instead of brads and just rounded the corners instead of using the scalloped tag topper punch.The snowflake stamp on the holder is from a Stampin' Up! Around Array stamp set and punched out with the 7/8" scalloped circle punch and mounted on with a Stampin' dimensional.  The Happy Birthday stamp is also from Stampin' Up!  It is from the Label Love set and punched out with the Artisan label punch.
The card stock for the card base and the stickers are from Michael's and the penguin paper are from another scrapbook store that is no longer available.

Thank you card

     One of my nieces came over one afternoon in June and wanted to learn how to make a card.  I  think she did a great job!  She was so excited to be able to use some of my supplies and tools - like a child in a candy store. 

Cards made by my sister

     My sister made the  top one for one of my sons for his 22nd birthday.  Yes, there are 22 candles across the bottom!  The bottom card was a retirement card she made for my husband's early retirement.

     My sister was visiting us during the month of June so during one of our card making sessions, she made these 2 beautiful grad cards.

Graduation cards

     Here are 2 graduation cards for high school graduates.   I stamped the envelope flap and the front of the envelope to match the card.

Graduation cards

     These are graduation cards I made for some high school students in their school colors.  I used Whisper White card stock for the sentiment.  This white piece was punched out with a Stampin' Up Scalloped top tag punch on both ends so I could thread the ribbon through.  The ribbon colored card stock and stickers are from Michael's.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up Pure Gumption stamp set which is now retired.  

Thank you cards with ocean theme

Birthday card

     Here is a card made big enough for our preschool students to sign for their teacher.  This morning we are celebrating all the summer birthdays of our students.  The teacher I work with, also has a summer birthday so I made this card 51/2" x 81/2". The image and sentiment are from the Wetlands stamp set.  I sponged with Sahara Sand, Marina Mist and Soft Sky Classic ink pads and stamped the image 3 times across with black Stazon ink.  I also used black Stazon ink for the sentiment. The seashell sticker is from a set of stickers I bought for one of my scrapbooks.

Card set

     A friend/co-worker gave me a card stock pad with these designs so I decided to make her a card set made with these designs for her birthday this year.  It is a set of four cards and matching envelopes.  They are inside a 6"x 8" cellophane bag with the open end tucked inside the chevron printed piece.  I punched a couple of holes to thread the ribbon through and tied a bow with a black ribbon.  The sentiments are from the Wetlands stamp set (Stampin' Up) and are stamped on Whisper White card stock.  

Fruit card set

     This card set is made from some paper I had bought about a year or so ago before I became an Independent Stampin' Up demonstrator.   I decided to use it up.  The flaps on the envelopes have paper to match the cards.

Black and White Graduation card

     Here is a graduation card using the triple time stamping idea but instead of stamping, I embossed the two larger white rectangles together and separated them with a black mat.  The smallest white rectangle is stamped with a sentiment from Stampin' Up's Pure Gumption stamp set.  This stamp set has retired with the 2013 catalogue.

Wetlands Post it note holder

     This is a post it note holder for 4" x 6" post it note pads.  I started with a piece of blue card stock cut to 91/2" x 61/4" and scored at 41/4", 45/8" and 5" along the 91/2" side.  I used gray textured paper for the mat and the band across the front is embossed with the wood embossing folder from Stampin' Up.  The stamped image is done with the Wetlands stamp set also from Stampin' Up!  Thank you  to all the demonstrators I was able to learn from.
