Gift Card Holder | Beth's Fancy Stamping

And as I promised yesterday here is a more ‘adult’ version of the Slide up Gift Card Holder in Mint Macaron! Pretty don’t you think? I love this DSP too!

Again, this was cased from Sweet Serenity’s You Tube video: Slide up Gift Card Holder. She used Velco dots to keep the top down, I used tiny magnets to hold the top. Love the little ‘click’ when they meet. Amazingly strong for such little magnets. Available from Amazon. img_1803_edited-1

The main part of the gift card holder is Mint Macaron Card Stock with layers of Presents and Pinecones DSP (from the Holiday Catalog) adhered with SNAIL adhesive. The inside mechanism is using Emerald Envy Card Stock and only adhered to the inside top flap with Fast Fuse or another very strong adhesive.

The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black Ink using the HO HO HO stamp from the Oh What Fun Stamp Set. The tag on the right was die cut from Emerald Envy Card Stock using the Merry Tags Framelits Dies. The little deer was done by die cutting an additional piece using the Merry Tags Framelits Dies in Crumb Cake Card Stock then carefully cutting him from the Crumb Cake at the bottom of his feet and adhering him to the Emerald Envy die cut.

I then heat embossed the sentiment on the tag using VersaMark and then sprinkling White Stampin’ Emboss powder. The sentiment is from the Merriest Wishes Stamp Set. I also touched the edges of the pine trees with Versamark and then sprinkled White Stampin’ Emboss powder and heat embossed all. The backing was die cut using the solid form from the Merry Tags Framelits Dies in Whisper White Card Stock and adhering together using Multipurpose Glue. (I did use the Precision Base Plate for both die cuts). By the way, the Merry Tags Framelits dies and the Merriest Wishes Stamp Set can be purchased as a Bundle and save 10% .

The tag was attached to the Gift Card Holder by punching a hole in the top of the inside front and using the red twine from the Candy Cane Bakers Twine set I threaded the Pin Cone Embellishment on it and tied the ends together, clipping the twine very close and hiding the knot in the back.

This is a good view of the mechanism attachment to the top flap.

Looking at this I can see where it can be adjusted a bit for a piece of Ghiradelli’s chocolate squares to be put in the little mechanism instead of a Gift Card.

Oh, my goodness. I love Candy Cane Lane DSP! with it’s matching Real Red Ribbon and Card Stock. Everyone needs some quick to make gift card holders and this one would be a best seller at a Christmas Craft Bazaar I bet. Take a peek inside!

To make this gift holder I watched Sweet Serenity’s You Tube video: Slide up Gift Card Holder. She has wonderful, easy directions to follow with measurements that are perfect.

The base is Real Red Card Stock , outside is Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog. Around the top of the card is 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon in Real Red tied in a bow. It is applied from the back side before finishing the inside. The Jingle Bells in Real Red and the cute little Gingerbread boy charm come in different sets. The Gingerbread boy is from the Christmas Trinkets Embellishments-so cute the set also includes bells and holly charms! The little jingle bells are from the Mini Jingle Bells Set that include 60 bells, 30 each of silver and red.

The charms are tied on with the Red Candy Cane Lane Baker’s Twine. A little fiddly but they can be strung on the Twine with patience! In her video she uses little Velcro dots to hold the top closed. I have not had very good success with Velco dots in the past so I put in little tiny magnets to hold it closed. They are available on Amazon.

The inside is an easy lift mechanism of one sheet of Crumb Cake Card Stock just adhered to the top of the ‘lid’ with Fast Fuse. She explains that it is important to use Fast Fuse or a very strong adhesive because when you lift the top it pulls up the inside mechanism. Before adhering I stamped the sentiment in Real Red Ink using a stamp from the Oh What Fun Stamp Set in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.

Quick and easy! And so colorful and full of fun and Gift Card. Tomorrow I will be sharing another slide up Gift Card holder in a different DSP. Hope you will check back. It is a bit more ‘adult’.

Here is a list of the products that I used.
