Gift Card Holder

My kids are at the ages where gift cards are the way to go for their friends' birthdays.  I was browsing the internet for some ideas recently, and came across this awesome YouTube video by a clever Stampin' Up! demonstrator in the USA, Jackie Topa.

My son is going to a birthday party today, so this was just what I needed!  I made two while I was at it:

I used the following products:

Cardstock:  Real Red, Midnight Muse, Whisper White

Ink:  Real Red Classic Ink, Midnight Muse Classic Ink, Daffodil Delight Classic Ink

Stamps:  Bring On the Cake, Perfect Pennants (Sneak peek - this is from the NEW mini)

Other:  Gingham Garden washi tape, Paper Trimmer, Score Board, Envelope Punch Board, SNAIL Adhesive.

Check out Jackie's video:




Have fun trying this yourself!  As always, you can purchase these products in my Online Store.

What We Made Part 4

Last but not least, clever Bec O'Gorman created these lovely cards:

Stamps:  Delicate Doilies, Oval All
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Pear Pizazz, Vellum, Early Espresso
Ink:  Versamark, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz
Other:  Heat Gun, White embossing powder, brads, paper snips, Oval punch, scalloped oval punch, Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Perfect Pennants die, Scallop Trim Border punch

Stamps:  Bring On The Cake, Pennant Parade
Paper:  Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Island Indigo
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Island Indigo, Early Espresso
Other:  Paper Crimper, Linen thread, Itty Bitty Circle Punch, 3/4" circle punch, Petite Pennants Punch, Big Shot, Polka Dot Embossing Folder

I've noticed that each of us used the Big Shot in some way on at least one of the cards we designed - funny to think the Big Shot was only in our catalogue a year ago, now it is hard to create anything without it!

If you still don't have your own hard copy of the new Idea Book & Catalogue, let me know and I'll get one to you.  It would be the perfect time to book a workshop - Christmas will be here before you know it, so we will be getting busy with Christmas Cards soon too!
