I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Poinsettia stamp set bundle to create a Christmas gift card holder to share today. I also did a video tutorial showing you how to create this on my YouTube channel here! The card design was inspired by a fun gift card holder that Mary Deatherage shared with us at that the team retreat in mid-September!
I started by scoring a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Basic Black card base at 2-1/2″ and again at 6-1/2″. I adhered panels of patterned paper from the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP to the top and bottom flaps of the card base with Stampin’ Seal. Then I flipped the card base over and adhered another panel of Artisan Sketched Garden DSP to the center section of the card base. I folded the 2″ flap up and adhered it on the edges with Stampin’ Seal.
Then I scored a 4-1/4″ x 5-3/8″ panel of Basic Black card stock at 2″ from one side and 1/2″ from the other side. I adhered a panel of Artisan Sketched Garden DSP to the center section of the scored panel. I punched the edge of that panel with the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set in VersaMark ink under the circle punch, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder and then heat embossed it.
Then I folded the panel at the 2″ score line and adhered the flap on the edges with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card just above the 2-1/2″ score line on the card base with Stampin’ Seal and then tucked the bottom of the gift card slider into the flap on the lower section of the card base.
I folded the card base closed and then adhered a length of White 3/8″ Textured Ribbon to the front of the card. I used the ribbon to tie a bow around the card front. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set in VeraMark ink on a panel of Basic Black card stock, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and then heat embossed it. I cut the sentiment out with the fourth smallest die from the Everyday Arches Dies and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut a panel of Vellum Specialty Paper with the large leaves die from the Pretty Poinsettia Dies and then adhered the leaves with Mini Glue Dots to the sentiment panel. I cut a panel of Basic White card stock with the Pretty Poinsettia Dies and then used the Impressions Plate to emboss the die cut images. I adhered the die cut petals together with Mini Glue Dots and then adhered the flower to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I applied Adhesive Sheets to the back of a panel of Gold Foil Sheets and then cut the panel with the flower center die from the Pretty Poinsettia Dies. I adhered the flower centers together and to the card front with the Adhesive Sheets to finish the card.
