Today’s card is a Card, Tag, and Gift Card Holder. I love multiple use cards and this one is a pretty one using the By The Bay Designer Series paper. Plus who does not love a Pearl!!!
This project is my design for the Make My Monday Challenge Blog. The challenge is a Tag. I went a bit beyond that. You can click on the icon and go to the blog to see what the other designers have made. And you can join the challenge yourself.
Tag
My tag is made using the Mini Pocket Envelope Die. It is the perfect size for a gift card as you can see in the second photo. There is the main pocket die and several additional decorative pieces to go with it. I used one of them to create the sentiment layer. My sentiment is shorter than the die cut, but that was an easy fix. With it being scallops it was very simple to die cut, then place it back into the die with the end that needs shortening falling right into the scallops. Easy peasy and oh so cute.
Paper
This gorgeous DSP is from the By The Bay Designer Series Paper. I love the soft colors and then the pop of Gold and Starry Sky! They are all beautiful together. The tag is angled a bit to better see the little bit of the Petal Pink in the paper.
From another piece of this paper pack is where the sea shell came from. There is a stamp in the stamp set. But this goldish version was on the back side of one of the pieces of DSP. I fussy cut it out, which was really quick, and just added a bit of Petal Pink color to it. The pearl got some Wink of Stella to give it the shine it deserves.
Stamp
The sweet sentiment came from the Seaside Bay stamp set. I did not use the matching Dies. But I thought this sentiment went perfectly with the shell and pearl. It is stamped using the Starry Sky Ink which really pops. This is an adorable set of everything on the beach , matching Dies, and this beautiful perfect which coordinates all of the stamps.
Embellishments
To complete this project I went with shiny things. The ribbon on the gift card Tag is the Petal Pink soft Ribbon and has a touch of a sheen to it. I used an old 1/8″ hole punch to make a hole in the flap of the tag and fed the ribbon through.
The finishing touch is the pink pearl. This is a larger one that is in the Pastel Pearls pack from the Annual Catalog. It was the perfect finish to this card.

This month, the theme is Last Minute Gifts/Cards to inspire you with your holiday list. We really hope that you will be enjoy all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
My Last Minute Gift idea is a small gift and Gift Card holder in one. I give quite a lot of Gift Cards over the year. But at the same time like to give a little something. This is a perfect mix.
2 in 1 Gift card Box
You can see the top of the gift card peeping out of the finger notch at the top. Here is a view of what it holds.
This sweet box holds perfectly the hand cream from Bath and Body. My Gift Card is not a Bath and Body (I forgot to purchase one!) but you can see the one I substituted. These little boxes go together really quickly. The scoring and cutting of the card stock is the most time consuming. And that is not long at all. I made this one in less than thirty minutes total.
In case you do not recognize this sweet 3D item, it is from The Paper Pixie. And since her videos and directions are the best!, I am going to give you the link instead of trying to explain how to make this. It is Hand Cream & Gift Card Box. Simply click on that highlighted name.
Stamps and Embellishments
The only stamping on this is the ‘Tis The Season from the Brightest Glow stamp set. It is a great size with a fun font. By using the Double Oval Punch, it become a tad taller than the box itself, but still fits perfectly. I think the bit of added height helps it to stand out a little. The only embellishments are the Ribbon bow and the three little Red Rhinestone Gems.
Papers
The beginning of this project, after choosing the box, was what papers would show best on a rather small scale. This DSP is from the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper. There are a couple of different Poinsettia prints in this pack. I liked this one on the White with smaller flowers. It helps the flowers to stand out individually. And I chose the Shaded Spruce as the green. There are several different ones included in the leaves of the bundles. The Shaded Spruce is the brighter one. This sweet project is a good ones for making multiples of. I am in the process of doing just that. It takes very little DSP and once the scoring is complete you are almost finished!
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on January 11th when our theme will be Sale-A-Bration Time. The design team will showcase projects made from Sale-A-Bration items.

It is the time of year for Gift Card holders. They are a favorite of mine to make and share. Today’s card showcases the Poinsettia paper.
And here is the inside view:
Paper
The Boughs of Holly Designer is where I found the beautiful Poinsettias. The two pieces you see when the card is closed I wanted to be the same. They could easily be two different coordinating papers. And for the gift card pocket I opted for a different Poinsettia piece. There are a variety of greens in the paper, but I opted to go with Mossy Meadow as the card base. And I know you are shocked, but I did not add a layer between the DSP and the card base. That is something I almost always do. Since this card, including the gift card, is fairly thick, I did not want to add anymore layers to that.
Stamps
I used two different stamp sets on this card. The two sentiments are from the Christmas To Remember stamp set. And the greenery are from the Christmas Season stamp set. To get the focal layer greenery I simply stamped around the edges and left room in the center for the sentiment. The colors used are ones from the DSP. That made the choices rather easy! For the inside layer I only added a sentiment. That piece is rather small and did not want to take up any more of the writing room.
Measurements:
The card base is cut to 4 1/14 X 11 and scored at 2 1/2 and 5 1/2. Fold and burnish the score lines. The DSP pieces are two at 2 1/4 X 4. These are the gift card pocket and the far right pieces. The front left DSP is 2 3/4 X 4. Adhere all of the DSP pieces and then use a circle punch or die to create the finger notch on the gift card pocket. Then adhere it with Tear & Tape placed very close to the edge on each side. It also helps to place your gift card inside when closing. That insures that the fit is not too tight when you place it afterwards.
The front sentiment layer is a Mossy Meadow cut to 3 X 4 1/4 and a White cut to 2 3/4 X 4. And the final is the inside White at 2 3/4 X 4. I hope you will give this one a try!

Today’s Fun Fold is more of a Double Card plus a bit more! It is very flexible and can be utilized as a gift card holder as well as a regular card. And with that confusing beginning, here is my card.
The Star is the Paper
There are more pictures to show the various parts of the card. But I wanted to show how pretty this Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper is. There are two layers of the DSP used here on the front. Actually there is no stamping required here at all. Simply use two complimentary papers and some pretty ribbon.
Gift Card holder
Here is a view of the small card on the front open to reveal a gift card. The ribbon tied around this section ensures the card will not accidentally fall out. If you do not want to include a gift card, a little piece of cardstock with a second sentiment would work perfectly.
Inside View
This inside sentiment and the cute little gnome is the only stamping I have on this card. I love the gnomes and colored him to match the paper on front of the small card. Also, the matching dies to the Kindest Gnomes Bundle will cut a little gnome from the DSP if you would rather go that direction.
Directions
The card base of Coastal Cabana is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. The small card is 7 1/2 X 3 3/4 and scored at 2 1/2 and 5. At the 5″ score line, cut from the top of the score line down to the bottom right corner. When folded in, this makes the pocket. Apply Tear & Tape to only the bottom of that angle to finish the pocket.
The Pale Papaya large layer is 4 X 5 1/4 with the DSP cut to 3 7/8 X 5 1/8. And the small Pale Papaya is cut to 2 1/4 X 3 1/2. For the small DSP layer I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to add a little extra to the cute gnomes. Prior to adhering the small card to the center front of the large card, add the length of ribbon behind it. Tip: Go ahead and tie the bow to ensure you have enough ribbon.

The product I am showcasing today contained a wonderful surprise. It is the Celebration Tags Dies and a gift card will actually fit inside of it. How exciting is this?
Dies
Since the tag / envelope on the front of the card is the star of this show, I am beginning with the tag. There are two foldable tags included in the Celebrations Tag Dies, along with several other pieces. This card includes the larger of the envelope / tags plus the balloon. It also includes the layer the sentiment is stamped on. With this versatility I believe this is a must have die set.
The best part of this card, besides being cute, was the discovery that a gift card will fit in the tag. After gluing the tag / envelope together, I had the idea to try a gift card. Having not seen anyone demonstrate that one would fit, I had my doubts. But surprisingly, and with great excitement, I discovered it fits perfectly!
Here is a view of the card being pulled out of the tag.
Stamp set / Bundle
Since I have been going on about the die set, I should tell you that it Bundles with the Celebration With Tags stamp set. The stamp set includes the Happy Birthday as well as some other great sentiments. Even though the dies are my favorite part, the stamps are very good and fit the layers. That is always a good thing.
Paper
The paper choices were dictated by my needing a female birthday card. And with a different sentiment, these colors and papers would be great for a baby shower. Backing up to the DSP, you know that it was my first choice, as that is how I generally begin. So the pink and blue from the Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper is what prompted the Balmy Blue and Blushing Bride cardstocks. The balloon is die cut from the same piece of DSP. It is showing the reverse side. And has a Heart Pearl as an embellishment.
Gift Card Pull
Having the tag containing the gift card on the front of the card required an easy means of retrieving the gift card.. This “Pull” idea came from The Paper Pixie on a gift bag she did recently. Since the tag already has the holes on both the front and the back layers, all I had to do was thread the ribbon through them. The ribbon is 12″ of the Old Olive Ribbon that is part of the Sahara Sand and Old Olive Ribbon Combo in the Annual catalog.
Feed the ribbon through one side and all the way through the other side. Pull through to the back with about 3″ of ribbon. While holding on to that piece, place the gift card in the opening and push down. This will take the length of the ribbon from the front down into the tag with the gift card. When the gift card is fully inside the tag, you should have about the same amount of ribbon left on the front and the back. You can tie with Bakers Twine, as I did, leave as is, or use your own idea. Then simply trim the ribbon ends to the same length.

Today’s card is a fun birthday card using a Christmas set from the new Mini Catalog. Using it for a different occasion is a great bonus!
Stamps
Since I love most animal stamps, and especially cats, it was a surprise to No One that I would purchase this stamp set as soon as possible. A mischief cat is just a fact! So when I needed a birthday card for someone who loves cats as well, I was ready to give this stamp set a try. The name is appropriate as it is North Pole Mischief. It will be such fun to make Christmas cards with these stamps, but this was the first use.
Sentiment
At first glance in looking at the stamp set, this sentiment is for Christmas and the good or naughty list. But I looked at it for a birthday and feel that it fits there as well. Plus the recipient is an adult and would get a kick out of those words! And with the lighter color of the DSP, I took a scrap and used it to stamp the sentiment.
To finish the front sentiment I added a couple of the Solid Faceted Dots. Grounding the little banner was a necessity I thought.
The inside birthday wishes are from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. Here is a look at the inside of the card. It is a gift card holder which adds to fun.
There is still plenty of room to write underneath the card. No worries for you there.
Paper
This gorgeous DSP is from the Sun Prints Designer Series paper. Both the stripes and the distressed looking gray work perfectly together and are pretty to boot. Plus they highlight the stamped images. It always surprises me when I think to stamp on the DSP. When the paper is a light enough color it works for images, but this paper was perfect for the sentiment and helps tie everything together.
Measurements
This gift card layout is a good one for multiples. It only requires a half sheet of cardstock cut to 4 1/4 X 11, and then scored at 3 1/2 and 8 3/4. Fold up the smaller scored end for the gift card pocket. There is a White layer under the DSP pieces. It is 4 X 3 1/4 beneath the stripe and 4 X 2 beneath the gray. The Sun Prints striped paper is cut to 3 7/8 X 3 1/8 and the gray is 3 7/8 X 1 7/8.
For the stamped area, the Starry Sky cardstock is cut to 3 1/2 X 2 1/8 with the White at 3 3/8 X 2 1/16. Sorry for the funky measurement there, you can adjust the size to fit your image of course. On the inside of the card, the stamped White is 4 X 2 3/4 with the piece beneath the gray at 4 X 2. And the gray is cut to 3 7/8 X 1 7/8.
