Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for our Retirement Fun Fold Party – showcasing our favorite products from the Holiday Catalog that will be leaving us forever. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I used the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set for my card. I love coloring and he is perfect for that. I have made a gift card card holder for this project. I love the fold that makes the gift card, as it can be done in several different directions. It is a go to for me all year round.
The modified version I made is still super simple to do. Here is another view of the inside.
Instead of it being the normal sideways, I added a piece to the back and folded it over to create a regular layered card look from the front view.
Gift cards are so important for me this time of year that I wanted to make one a little different.
Here is how I added the back piece.
To finish off the coloring, I added the Shimmery Crystal Effects to Santa’s fur. It gives just a touch of shimmer and some shine.
Measurements:
- 4 1/4 X 9 3/4 scored at 5 1/2 and 8 1/4
- navy 3 3/4 X 5
- DSP 3 1/4 X 4 1/8
- Vanilla 3 X 3 7/8
- Extra piece of Cherry is 4 1/4 X 3 1/4 scored at 1/2 on the 3 1/4 side
- Strip of gift card is DSP 4 x 1 1/4 and vanilla 3 3/4 X 1
Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you will leave a comment with your thoughts on today’s twist to a regular gift card holder.
