Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Reindeer Days DSP Fun Fold Gift Card Holder

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is December holidays. Are you ready for some fabulous projects?

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Julia Quinn's blog. What a wonderful project she shared!

I'm a fan of giving gift cards as the recipient can choose the gift of their choice when they need, or want, it. My fun fold gift card holder card features the Reindeer Days designer series paper (DSP) which I paired with a sentiment from the Peaceful Season stamp set and die bundle.

Peaceful Season Die Bundle #164021

Reindeer Days DSP #164166

I stamped evergreen trees from Peaceful Evergreens stamp set as a focal point in both Grany Apple Green and Garden Green since both colors coordinate with the DSP. Then I tied a bit of Iridescent trim around it for a touch of sparkle.

Reindeer Days DSP Gift Card Holder Front

For the Merry sentiment, I die cut banners in Real Red and Basic White cardstock, then stamped the sentiment on the Basic White die cut and used my snips to trim it down to fit on the Real Red die cut.

Fun Fold Gift Card Holder

For the gift card holder, I adhered a piece of the DSP with the tree pattern to the left side. I notched out a circle with the 1¾" circle punch.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Gift Card Holder

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month we are sharing gift packaging projects. Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, created a packaging project. Each month we share projects with various design styles. You may have arrived from Julia Quinn's blog. Wasn't her packaging project wonderful!

I love giving gift cards as gifts. They always seem to be the right size, color, or something the recipient had a hankering for 😉

Another demonstrator, Joy Nelson, shared the template for this gift card holder during a stamping party we held in a private Facebook group, WooHoo Weekend. It was new to me and I fell in love with it! If you would like access to our WooHoo Weekend group, hit me up. I'd love to have you join us.

Whimsy & Wonder DSP with Christmas to Remember sentiment

Inside the card the gift card is revealed

My version features the lovely Whimsy & Wonder designer series paper (DSP) - it's one of my favorite DSPs in the Holiday mini! 

For the sentiment, I used a stamp for the Christmas to Remember stamp set for the front that picked up on the the holly in the DSP. I added a bit of bling with the Gold Holly leaves and rhinestones I colored using a Stampin' Up Flirty Flamingo alcohol Blends marker.

Whimsy & Wonder DSP #156329

Whimsical Trees #156330

Inside I used the holly image from the coordinating Whimsical Trees stamp set with alcohol Blends markers and a greeting from the same set.

Thank you for hopping around the world with us. Keep hopping to see even more projects celebrating December! Click on the Next Blog image below to Joy Nelson's blog see her wonderful project.

VLOG Hop - Gifting a Gift Card Bagalope

Hi friends!

It's the last day of the month and that means it's Video Blog Hop (VLOG) day! The participants in this Global SU Share Fair VLOG Hop are located across the globe. Our theme this month is gift wrapping ideas.

I like giving gift cards. They are always the right color, size and fit 😉 Since they are my favorite I am sharing a east way to gift a gift card. Using my favorite holiday designer series paper, Whimsy & Wonder, I created a bagalope. The bagalope is super easy to make, just start with an envelope!

Bagalope for gifting a gift card

I usually prefer traditional Christmas colors. This year the pastel colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP really spoke to me and it's become my go for Christmas crafting. The Blushing Bride Frayed ribbon ices the cake.

Whimsy & Wonder DSP #156329

The Season's Greetings sentiment comes from the Penguin Place stamp set; I punch it our using the Double Oval punch. The greeting works perfectly with the DSP.

I made a couple variations

Treat Bag featuring the You're a Peach DSP
