TSSC 345 - Gift Card Holder

Here's my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. It's a gift card holder made with the envelope punch board. It's super easy to make! The stamps are from Endless Wishes. You probably recognize the rest of the supplies I used, but if not, leave me a comment and I'll reply.

  Here's the back side of the gift card holder open. You can see where I punched it with the envelope punch board.

Start with a 4.5" x 6.5" piece of designer series paper (DSP). I used the Trim The Tree Designer Series Paper Stack. These packs are cut to just the right size - no waste and no little scraps left over.

Punch 3.25" in from each side.

Score the bottom at 1.5" and fold up.

Use Fast Fuse just on the outside edges and adhere. You want to keep the adhesive at the outside edges so that the gift card can tuck down into the pocket.

Fold the top down and tuck the flap under the folded up edge (see next picture).

Crease top edge and make crisp with bone folder.

 

 Here's the back side of the gift card holder closed. See how the flap tucks into the bottom?

Here's this week's sketch. Be sure to head to the Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge site to see the rest of the design team samples and to link your entry. Hope you'll play along this week!

Fun Packaging - Gift Box Punch Board

The Gift Box Punch Board is so much fun! We made the red and green Christmas box in stamp club last week. The Marina Mist one is made the same way, but with different colors. And fantastic news - the Gift Box Punch Board is 30% off tomorrow (Monday, 10/24). Only $13.96! It's a one day door buster, so don't miss it!

I didn't use adhesive on this box, so when you open it, it's like an explosion box, which is kind of fun.

Here's the Marina Mist box from the top. The tag on this one is a little smaller than on the other box.

Here's a side view. I attached the side flaps on the outside on this box. It kind of looks like the sides of a take out box.

Lots of colors of chevron ribbon, including Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist used on these boxes, are half off (yes, 50%!!) during the Online Extravaganza (11/24 to 12/01/14). The 1/8" Silver Ribbon is not on sale, but the gold one is half off.

Stamp set used is Endless Wishes. It's a fantastic set. Love that font and the way you can mix and match words and phrases. The snowflakes are also part of the set. I used the gold sequins on the tag on the top box, but I didn't think they'd go as well with the Marina Mist.

Be sure to check out the Online Extravaganza page. There are lots and lots of great products on sale!
