Simple and easy to make gift card holders are the best.  When they show off beautiful DSP, they are perfect.  That is what I have to share with you today.

 

Stampin' Up!, Stars Are Shining, Whimsy and Wonder, Jackie Beers

And here is the good part.

 

Stamps and Punches

The beautiful stars are punched from DSP using the Starlit Punch which is part of the Stars Are Shining Bundle.  I love punch bundles!  They are so easy to create multiple cards with.  And this one gives multiple stars in one punch.  I did not use all of them on the front of this card.

The sentiment is from the Stars Are Shining Stamp Set, the other half of the bundle.  There are some great sentiments and stamps in the set.  This one fit perfectly with my theme. For the inside sentiment I went to the Christmas To Remember stamp set.  This set is all sentiments that are sweet and perfect.

I used the Banner Pick A Punch to cut the sentiment.  This may be the first time I have used the single point banner instead of the two point one.  Also I used the Label Me Lovely punch to make the finger pocket on the gift card pouch.  Although it is not really necessary if you want to skip that step.

Papers

This Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper is one of the prettiest papers this year.  I chose the snowflakes because the pink looks beautiful against the Misty Moonlight card base.  Afterwards I had the idea to punch the stars from the same paper.  The bits of foil in the snowflakes are now in the stars as well.  And it was a little scrap of DSP that I used, so no waste.  There are a few added Rhinestones for a touch more bling!
