Hello and welcome to our New at SU Blog Hop. This month we are aiming to make your life a bit easier with some packaging for Gift Cards and Gift Certificates because we know how busy these next few weeks are going to be.
I’m using the Sending Cheer bundle which is a really fun bundle to create gift tags. For today’s gift card holder I’m pairing it with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper.
The original design for this holder was inspired by one I’d seen by Marie Shaughnessy. I CASEd (Copy and Selectively Edit) the design and adapted with the products I am using. No need to re-invent the wheel when someone has done the hard work already and created such a fun project! I just converted the imperial measurements to metric and here they both are.
MEASUREMENTS
Lost Lagoon 10.0 cm x 28.0 cm (4″ x 11″)
Soft Sea Foam 11.0 cm x 8.0 cm (4 1/4″ x 3″)
INSTRUCTIONS
Score Lost Lagoon Cardstock on the long side at 10.0 cm, 14.0 cm and 18.0 cm (4″, 5 1/2″, 7″)
Fold as follows – Valley, Mountain, Valley
Adhere DSP to the back inside panel
Adhere the 2 bases of the Mountain fold together and fold flap towards the inside
Add glue or Tear & Tape to the sides of the flap and adhere to the back (this will form your pocket)
For the box lid – Score Soft Sea Foam Cardstock on the short side at 4.0 cm (1 1/2″)
Adhere the inside back of the lid to the upper back of the present base
Add DSP and embellish
I die cut the bow from More Dazzle Glimmer Paper and Moody Mauve Cardstock using the gift die in the Sending Cheer dies. This was then layered and attached under the Designer Series Paper.
Please leave me a comment and let me know whether you’ll be giving this little gift card holder a try and check out all our other talented team members for their fun ideas to wrap up the holiday season!

I’m having a load of fun with the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge and #nostalgicnovember and really enjoying stretching my creative thinking. This sketch was a bit tricky at first but I just had to get those circles out of my head before the ideas started coming through.
I flipped the sketch to be horizontal and it worked for the design I was going for. I used the gift die from the Sending Cheer bundle for the sides. The label from the Merriest Trees dies was lined with the Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blend to create the stripes. I did this free hand and liked the fun look it gave to the main image which is from the retired Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set.
I added a heat embossed sentiment in silver and some sparkly gems for the snowy look. The large snowflake is a retired embellishment which I had in my stash and it just fits perfectly with this card don’t you think?

There’s just something about the Christmas in the Making stamp set that makes me happy. The nostalgic images just bring a smile to my face and this particular image with the cat was perfect for our No Peeking day for the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge.
The lady looks like she is holding that present well away from the cat who is giving it ‘the look’ and wants to just get into it. Coloured with Stampin’ Blends this image comes to life. For a muted background with a subtle pattern I used the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment is from another retired stamp set, Oh What Fun and I just had to dig out the Cable Knit Embossing Folder as it just tied in with the whole scene.
This evening I send out my main weekly newsletter with a free tutorial. If you haven’t signed up already, you can do so HERE. I look forward to seeing you through the week for more #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge fun!
Thanks for stopping by and have a Blessed Sunday.

I’ve drifted a touch from Nostalgic November and haven’t used any retired products for Day 9 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge. However, I could stretch it and say I did use Blueberry Bushel which is a returning colour so it’s a bit nostalgic!
I cut a Kraft notecard into 2.5 cm strips and glued it to a Basic White panel to create the background. I like the country charm the Kraft cardstock adds to the Cottage Wreath. This background style is a great way of using up Cardstock scraps as well.
Both layers of wreaths were die cut from White Cardstock. The base layer was coloured with the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. For the top layer I sponged Old Olive and Blueberry Bushel inks using a Sponge Dauber. Then I added some moore colour with Stampin’ Blends. I also added some Blueberry Bushel sponging on the bottom layer. This created a fuller wreath with varying colours.
The bow was coloured with the Light Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Blend to coordinate with my card.
Check out the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge inspiration this entire month for lots of fun ideas and you can play along too. Products are available in my Online Store or by contacting me.

Welcome to Day 8 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge with the theme of Christmas Letters. My initial thought was postage letters and we have a lovely stamp set in our current Mini Catalogue called the Stamped with Love set which would have been perfect. One problem, I didn’t have it. I did however, have the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder which has sentiments in all types of fonts and that fits perfectly for letters.
I’ve used the reindeer image from the retired Seasonal Chums stamps and dies. This is a gift tag which I cut in half and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. The Misty Moonlight panel was embossed with the Christmas Tidings Folder and then I ran my Craft ink pad over the Cardstock to give it a whitewash look.
My card has been inspired by the sketch at Just Add Ink challenges #JAI677. I’ve used the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper for the larger square and a ink blended panel for the smaller one.
The little Christmas tree is from the dies and I added a piece of Gold Foil at the back to be the twinkling lights.
I hope you are enjoying the daily inspiration. Please join me tonight at 7:30 pm AEDT for my weekly FB Live for some more crafting.
