Senior Years Birthday Card

 Do you ever need a sassy birthday card for an "old" friend? This layout would be perfect for you to give! Any Designer Series Paper would work for this layout and it's a good way to use up what you have!

You'll need two card bases - one that's 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4", then a slightly smaller second base that is 5" x 8", scored at 4".

Adhere the 4" x 5-1/4" Designer Series Paper to the larger card front. Using the Layering Ovals Dies cut out the largest oval. Save the cut-out pieces.

Stamp your "lady" from the Senior Years stamp set on a piece of Basic White. Die-cut out with next smallest oval.  On the smaller card front, adhere it to the inside of the larger card base with the fold on the right side. Adhere a 3-3/4 x 4-3/4" piece of Designer Series Paper to the front of the smaller card. Now close the card completely and place your white stamped oval on dimensionals centering it in the largest oval.

Last you'll stamp your sentiment on the inner Basic White layer in Memento Black ink. Then adhere your cut-out front oval to the inside of the smaller card as shown in the photo. Add the small Happy Birthday tag to card front. Add pearl embellishments and you are all set!

Yummy Gingerbread & Peppermint Gift Card Holder

Today wraps up my eight days of the Gingerbread and Peppermint Suite over the last two weeks here on my blog. I hope I've inspired you, and shown you a wide variety of projects you can make with this fabulous Suite. 

Everyone needs a Holiday Gift Card Holder! GCH's have become one of the easiest ways to give a loved one who has everything, a special treat! But you still want to make an impact with your gift, so this great holder would do the trick!

The flap is made with the largest Seasonal Labels Dies scored at one end and attached to the backside of the Basic White before you adhere to it.

I discovered that the gift card flap really wouldn't hide the gift card when closed, so that's why I turned it on end. It hides nicely under the Seasonal Label shape.

The mini velcro fasteners that I used below, are years old and I don't remember where I purchased them. However, our dear friend Amazon has something similar here. I would recommend you cut those 3/8" circles in half or even in fourths, so they will hold, but not rip the cardstock or DSP.

Products Used to Produce this Gift Card Holder can be purchased here:

Cinnamon Cider cardstock 

Basic White cardstock 

Real Red cardstock

Gingerbread and Peppermint 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP) 

Gingerbread Dies

Seasonal Labels Dies

Layering Oval Dies

Frosted Gingerbread Stamp Set 

Real Red Ink

Multipurpose Liquid Glue 

Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Dimensionals and Stampin' Seal adhesive

Tiny piece of mini velcro (see Amazon link above.)

Don't forget to cover the outer flap of your Basic White Envelope with a piece of matching DSP that's 2-3/8" x 6" and fussy cut off the excess.

------------------------------------------------

Thanks so much for stopping by this week. Next week I'll be sharing the six card designs from my Stamp and Chat classes I'll be hosting this weekend. Come back and take a peek.

Peach Mango Sanitizer Holder to Make

Earlier this month when I held my Stamp & Chat classes, I always try to give a favor to my customers as a way to show how much I appreciate them and to encourage them try making 3D items. The theme for the classes were a combination of Christmas in July, Peaches and Strawberries, plus we played Bingo for prizes! 

This favor holder is designed for the Bath & Body Works Mini Sanitizers and is my original design.

One sheet of Balmy Blue cardstock will make 4 holders.

Cut Strip - 2-1/8" x 11"

Score at 3", 6", 7-1/2". 8-1/2", and 10" on the long side. Fold the score lines gently, it doesn't need a bone folder.

You're a Peach Designer Series Paper (DSP):

For the back piece - 2" x 2-7/8"

Small front piece - 7/8" x 2"

For Tag on Front

1" circle punch for scraps of Basic White cardstock

1-1/4" circle punch for scraps of Calypso Coral or Petal Pink cardstock

Just for You stamp from Sweet Strawberry Stamp set

Balmy Blue Ink

Retired Layering Ovals Dies

Die Cutting Machine of Choice

This photo shows you the size oval you need.

After the DSP is adhered, you will need to take your paper snips and fussy cut around the back side of the oval, as the sanitizer bottles are just a little wider than the oval die selected. Start with only trimming 1/16" and gently try the bottle in the oval. You want the bottle to be hugged inside the oval, not sit loosely.

Flip holder strip over and add Stampin Seal adhesive so back of holder will be double thickness.

Fold on score line and press well to adhesive.

I was using up some wider double stick tape I had on hand, but two pieces of Stampin' Up!s Tear and Tape would work nicely. Position as shown in photo.

If you want a cleaner edge on your Tear and Tape, use a credit card to tear the tape against.

Peel off Tear and Tape

Notice how the 1" DSP covered section on the front and the 1" section on the end of the cardstock goes nicely against the back section to create a level surface where the sanitizer will go.

Going with my peach theme, the ladies received Peach Mango hand sanitizer.

Punch out the needed circles and stamp the greeting. Adhere layers together and adhere directly to the front of the holder as shown.

These little holders will fit nicely in a Stampin' Up! Clear Envelope with the flap folded down a bit more.

Ta-Da! 10 holders as favors for my customers.

Here's a close up of the design of the DSP sheet I used.

I hope you'll give this Mini Hand Sanitizer Holder a try. It's a perfect little gift for any time of year. It's also a great way to use up little scraps of Designer Series Paper you may have in your collection.

Happy Creating!

Quick Valentines Card Layout for You

Earlier this month when my customers dropped by my garage for a "socially distanced" curb-side catalog pick up, I had a goodie bag waiting for them. With every catalog release one way I thank my customers for their loyalty is to include with their catalog(s) a party favor, some free "clearance rack" items, catalog wish list, class schedule, and this time I included parts and pieces for a make and take card with an invitation to join me on Zoom a few days later. 

It was so much fun to see how everyone made their card from the same provided pieces.

Here's my sample, and yes, Valentines was on my mind.

Products I Used and Cutting Instructions:

Melon Mambo cardstock base - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"

Basic White layer cut 4" x 5-1/4" then embossed with Painted Texture Embossing Folder

Blushing Bride strip - 2-1/4" x 5-1/4"

Basic White strip - 2" x 5-1/4"

Melon Mambo piece cut with Scallop Oval from Layering Ovals Dies

Basic White cut with oval Stitched Shape Die stamped in Melon Mambo ink with greeting of your choice.

Two retired from long ago - Melon Mambo Enamel Dots

Meant to Be Stamp Set -  filigree heart stamped with Melon Mambo ink, Blushing Bride ink and Flirty Flamingo ink in a random pattern.

Oval label was raised up with Dimensionals

Many of these items can be purchased at my online store.

Here's some of  the card my attendees made. Don't they look great?!

Peggy S. did a landscape view and changed the mat to Basic Black.

Cherie M. had fun with some flowers and added some Designer Series Paper for the envelope flap.

Suzanne L. went with some butterflies including on the envelope flap.

Sue V. also had a floral idea.

So there you go! A fun and quick card layout you can use over and over again. You could even substitute the embossing folder layer with some Designer Series Paper for a totally different look!

Give it a try!

Happy Stamping!
