Stampin’ Up! Pop-Up Gift Card Fun Fold

Posted on November 20, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh I’ve a fun gift card for you today using both the Spotlight on Nature Dies (one of my favorite die sets!) and the gorgeous Nests of Winter DSP.

We start with a card base of Pool Party, score, burnish and adhere layers of Basic Black and Nests of Winter DSP to the top section and the lower section. Next I used one of thew gorgeous Spotlight on Nature Dies to die cut the black circle and also this sweet chickadee from the Nest of Winter DSP. I adhered the bird image to the Basic Black circle with dimensionals. I used the Stampin’ Seal+ to the back of this larger circle and added this wonderful Silver 1/8″ Trim then adhered the circle to the upper section of the card. I added three Drusy Adhesive-Backed Dots and the front was complete :O)

For the inside… here you can see that lower front section is folded up for the inner ‘liner’ to slide into – like a pocket. And, that inner liner also has a ‘pocket’ – this time for the gift card. This basic White panel has two score lines, one at the top where it adheres to the upper section of the card and another to create the pocket for the gift card. It is also stamped using the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and Memento Black ink. What’s nice is this card can be used for Christmas or birthday or anything really. The measurements are listed below.

Measurements:

Card base: Pool Party – 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 3 1/2 & 9, burnishing both inward
Upper layers: Basic Black 4 1/8 x 3 3/8; DSP 4 x 3 3/4
Lower layers: Basic Black 4 1/8 x 1 7/8; DSP 4 x 1 3/4 – – once layers are in place, fold up lower section and secure in place with glue dots in each bottom inside corner. This allows the insert to slide easily.
Pop-up insert: Basic White 3 1/2 x 7 1/4, score @ 1/2 & 5 3/8. Burnish score lines so the 1/2″ score goes back and the bottom score is forward. Stamp upper sentiment. Decorate bottom panel of insert.
- Basic Black: 33/8 x 1 7/8
- DSP: 3 1/4 x 1 3/4
Add glue dots to bottom inside corners and close to create pocket.
Insert into card base pocket; add tear ‘n tape to the 1/2″ area at top and with this section open and flat, close the top of the card. Bingo – the card opens with the insert in place and ready for the gift card.

Stampin’ Up! Shining Christmas and Merriest Trees Dies Gift Card Holder

Posted on December 4, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday morning! Gosh – here we are really INTO December. Have you decorated the house yet? We are in the midst and it is so very messy with all the boxes of decorations. The tree is the last thing to do… as we purchase a live cut tree. So we wait so it doesn’t become too dry and a hazard. :O)

Today’s post is all about gift card holders – and I have one to share that’s different. I like it!

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas SDSP & Merriest Trees Dies

Love this little gift card holder and I’m in the process of making a few. This SDSP is shiny and of course, two-sided. The panel is 4 x 12 scored at 3, 6, & 9 1/8. Burnish gently. On last panel mark 1/2″ from the last score line at the top of the segment; make another 1/2″ mark up from the bottom of the end panel and cut diagonally.

Add Tear n Tape where the white strips are. Cut a panel of Basic White 2 7/8 x 3 7/8, stamp with sentiment (here I used the Brightest Glow stamp set and Cherry Cobbler ink) and adhere to second panel of SDSP (between 2nd & 3rd score lines). Remove Tear n Tape & close.

Cut about 20″ length of ribbon (here I used Real Red from the Real Red & Garden Green combo pack); add Stampin’ Seal to ribbon about 6 1/2 from one end and for about 6″.; add to front panel and to second panel, centering from top to bottom. Now decorate!

I used the various sections of the Merriest Trees Dies to die cut the layers for the tree in Basic White. I attached each layer with dimensionals and added it over the ribbon – with dimensionals. I used the Silver & Gold Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper and Merriest Trees Dies to die cut the trim and the star atop the tree and added these ever to easily to the complete the tree. I die cut a banner to add a name with the Tailor Made Tags Dies in Basic White and two circles over the hole in Cherry Cobbler. I colored a length of white twine with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends and tied it in a bow. This tag was attached with dimensionals. I die cut another tag jst as an illustration of where the gift card or check could be placed in the enclosure. And done!

This could so easily be used as a birthday gift card holder or graduation, or anniversary – just change up the Designer Series Paper and decorating the front panel – and there ya go.

Stampin’ Up! 6 x 3 Gift Cards

Posted on November 7, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! I have some small gift cards for you today. I was inspired by a. post by Artisan Design Team member Tammy White who made 3 x 3 cards. I happen to like something a bit larger in order to write my message, whatever that is. And, I like it in an envelope. Stampin’ Up! has envelopes for 3″ size creations and they really are quite perfect for a 6 x 3 gift card.

Aren’t these fun? The card stock base is Thick Basic White cut 6 x 3 and scored @ 3. Each uses a panel of Winter Meadow DSP, some torn and one attached on an angle. I like this particular panel of DSP – shades of Pebbled Path & Smoky Slate, trees and deer. It’s comforting and not bold and can be used for a masculine gift as well. Supplies to make these were not a lot, but the list may seem long – I just don’t do two exactly alike and there’s the rub!

For the gift card on the far left: I ran the bottom Winter Meadow DSP through the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and die cut the pine bough from Shaded Spruce card stock using the Joy of Noel Dies. Embellishments the Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins. I also used the remaining glitter from the October Paper Pumpkin on the pine bough. It doesn’t show in this photo, but in real life it does! The stamp on the envelope front is from the Magical Meadow stamp set and stamped in Lost Lagoon ink.

The gift card next to it has a piece of the Snowflake Magic SDSP as the bottom layer. The two die cut pieces are from Shimmer Paper and Snowflake Magic SDSP die cut with Magical Meadow Dies. They are held in place with a glue dot and a Metallic Ribbon In Tahitian Tide was added over top. Three Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins were added for a bit of bling.

In the next photo, the gift card on the left the Winter Meadow DSP is added at an angle and on dimensionals. The die cuts use the Magical Meadow Dies, Shimmer Paper and Snowflake Magic SDSP. You can see one of the die cuts was trimmed and peeking out from the left side under the DSP. Over top is a double bow tied with separated black twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. The envelope front was stamped in Pebbled Path ink using the same stamp from Magical Meadow stamp set.

The last card is probably my favorite: it has the Snowflake Sky 3D EF embossed panel of Winter Meadow DSP on the card with the layer of the trees/ deer from Winter Meadow DSP on dimensionals. Before attaching the top layer, I wrapped separated black twine around one end and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot. The twine is from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. On this card I added three gems from the Faceted Gems Trio Pack. I also stamped a portion of the sentiment in Memento ink using the Stars At Night stamp set, then stamped the rest of the sentiment on the inside of the gift card on the adhered torn DSP. The envelope front got the same tree stamp from Magical Meadow stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink.

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Circle Card

Posted on August 21, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Sunday ~ or is it Sad Sunday since the weekend is, you know, almost over. :O( Whatever you’re up to today, stay safe and be wise… My card for you today is a small one, but oh so sweet. It’s less than 3 1/4″. Here it is…

And here it is open.

Stampin' Up! Shaded Summer Circle Card.2

Isn’t this just adorable. So perfect for a special gift – birthday or even wedding. And, this is not hard to do.

On a 3 1/2 x 11 card stock, fold over one end larger enough for the largest scallop circle. Place this scallop die just slightly over the fold so it does not cut a full circle, but does allow for a circle ‘fold’ cut. Then die cut one full circle at other end of paper. I used Coastal Cabana. It should look like this…

Stampin' Up! Shaded Summer Circle Card.3

Notice how the one ‘set’ is die cut on the fold? And one side is then folded in half.

The extra circle will be adhered to the folded front half, matching the scallops.
Die cut three circles, (largest circle die) from Basic White card stock.
Cut one of those circle in half.
Stamp near the straight edge the desired sentiment and any additional stamp. I used the sweet leaf stamp in Garden Green ink from Shaded Summer stamp set. The sentiment is from…….
Adhere this stamped half circle to another full circle with dimensionals. This portion on dimensionals becomes the ‘stand’ for the upper portion.

Stampin' Up! Shaded Summer Circle Card.4

The next part is decorating the front – and you can do just about anything! I chose to use the Summer Shadow Dies, Daffodil Delight & So Saffron card stock, then Flirty Flamingo and Basic White for another flower and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves. The background is a piece of 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink. Here’s another look.

Because this is slightly larger than 3″, I DID have to make an envelope – and I used a piece of very retired Envelope Paper in Mint Macaron.

Stampin' Up! Shaded Summer Circle Card envelope. 5

You can easily see how it is trimmed and shaped in the photo above and where I used Tear ‘n Tape to adhere it together. Dimensions: 4 3/4 width, 7 1/4 in length. When slipping the card in the envelope, I found it easier to slip in face down, so the die cuts do not snag on the envelope :O)
