Beautiful Card Ideas from Our Team

All the cards that I'm sharing today were created by my lovely and talented team members.  At most of our team meetings we swap cards for ideas & inspiration.  It is always optional to participate, but most do because it is so much fun!  At the end of this post I will share links to the products used on their cards.


Carolyn used the Winter Woods Bundle paired with Silver Foil Paper & the Softly Falling Embossing Folder for her card.  Beautiful!


Laura used the Farmhouse Christmas Bundle & the Corrugated Embossing Folder to create this clever Gift Card Holder made from an envelope.


Vicki's card uses the Alpine Adventures Bundle , Corrugated Embossing Folder and Designer Series Paper from the Festive Farmhouse Suite.  Wonderful not only for Christmas but winter birthdays, too!


Cindy's card highlights the beauty of the Petal Promenade Designer Paper on matching Fresh Fig cardstock.


And this is my card created using Wishing You Well.

Farmhouse Christmas Pocket Card

This is just the first of many projects I have planned for Farmhouse Christmas.  All of the images in this set are as cute as can be but I'm especially fond of the old-fashioned truck.


These are pocket cards made to hold a gift card.  My embellishments are made using die-cuts, but the basic card shape can be made with just a scoreboard.  Each of these cards is a little different, but the basic directions are the same for each.


The gift card is adhered with 2 glue dots.


There's room on the back of the note card for a personal note.  

To begin, you'll need an 11" x 4-1/4" piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock (1/2 sheet).  Score the short edge as shown here:


Now turn the cardstock and score on the long edge as shown here:


Next, trim away the 3/8" scored edge except for the tabs as shown below.  Cut angles on the tabs for a better fit and round all four corners.



These are the additional pieces you will need - Thick Whisper White for the inside note, and contrasting designer papers to decorate the pocket.  Round the corners on the inside note and the pocket flap.


Adhere designer paper to the pocket flap using Snail adhesive.


Turn the cardstock over and adhere the larger piece of designer paper to the front of the pocket.  Use Tear & Tape (double-sided tape adhesive) on the tabs, which will fold to the inside.


Fold all the scorelines and assemble the pocket, tabs folding to the inside. The 2 strips of Tear & Tape are all that's needed to hold it together.  


The Cherry Cobbler & Gray Granite colors give this project a masculine flair.  I hope you like it!

Making Gift Cards Extra-Special

Hi Stampers,

With gift cards becoming more & more popular for every occasion, wouldn't it be great to have a special way to present them?  Here's a pop-up gift card holder that you can make with a half-sheet of cardstock and your favorite designer papers!


This gift card holder features a matchbook style closure!


The gift card slides up from the bottom pocket as you open the top cover.


 The card base is a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut at 4-1/4" x 11" (1/2 sheet).  Score at 2", 7-1/4" & 7-3/8".  The insert is Whisper White cut at 3-3/4" x 6-1/2".  Score at 1-3/4" & 6".  Fold on all scorelines.  Use the Envelope Punch Board to cut the notches as shown here.




 Stamp "to & from" using Cherry Cobbler ink on the insert as shown.  I used the Oh, What Fun stamp set for all the stamping on this project.  Place double-sided tape adhesive as shown here.


Stamp "oh what fun" as shown.  Punch 2 circles from Garden Green cardstock.  Score & fold them in the center and use them to secure the sides of the insert.  Use a strong adhesive for this - Tear & Tape or Glue Dots.  This forms the pocket to hold the gift card.  Align the insert with the top score line on the card base and remove the backing from the tape.  Fold the top of the card base down and press firmly.


The decorated front panels are cut from Garden Green cardstock, 3" x 4" (top) and 1-3/4" x 4" (bottom).  The Be Merry Designer Series Paper is 2-3/4" x 3-3/4" (top) and 1-1/2" x 3-3/4" (bottom).  Two circles punched from Cherry Cobbler cardstock secure the bottom half of the gift card holder.

"Happy Christmas" is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.  It's die-cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits and layered on a scalloped oval cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  Adhere it to the front of the gift card holder using Stampin' Dimensionals.  The 1/8" Gold Ribbon is attached with a Glue Dot.


Here's a birthday version made with retired Stampin' Up products.  Let your imagination go wild!
