Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects made featuring our favorite bundle from the Spring January-June mini catalog. Please read on to learn more about my bright and cheery gift card holder.
I absolutely fell in love with the super adorable Hello Ladybug stamp set and punch bundle and wanted to use it to create this fun gift card holder for my project this week. Please click on the photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order. If ordering online, please be sure to use Host Code QNTFU7G6.
I knew I would be making more than one of these, and didn't have DSP that had the right colors so I decided to create my own. I took a piece of 8-1/2" x 11" basic white card stock and stamped all over using the images from the stamp set and the following color palette: daffodil delight, granny apple green, mango melody, poppy parade and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used this piece to cut up for the background of the card front as well as for the pocket inside the card.
Here is a close-up of the front panel - I stamped the leaf and sentiment directly on the panel, then stamped the lady bug body and wings on a scrap of basic white card stock and cut them out with the ladybug punch. Each layer is popped up on the card panel for added dimension.
The gift card holder is actually a tri-fold card with the inside center having the pocket for the gift card and the right panel being where to write your sentiment. The pocket uses a piece of the stamped "DSP" that I created, but I stamped the left inside side panel after stamping the ladybug body in the lower right corner. The wings are glued on top and then I stamped around it with the various images from the stamp set. I also added a bit of the black & white gingham ribbon (so cute!).
Wondering how I made the pocket panel? First I cut out a piece from the "DSP" that I created, then flipped it over and marked the center. I then used the body of the ladybug from the punch for the notch. It was added with tear & tape adhesive to the center of the tri-fold panel.
Want to make this yourself? Please see below for dimensions... when I made my card, I stamped a full sheet of Basic White card stock all over to create my "DSP" and then cut it down to size as listed below:
