Stampin’ Up! Festive Cheer Gift Card Holder Christmas Card

I used the Stampin’ Up! Festive Cheer stamp set bundle to create a quick Christmas gift card holder to share today.  I also did a quick video showing you how to create this on my YouTube channel right here.  One of our team members shared this great fun fold design at our team meeting this month, thanks to Nikki Reiser for sharing the idea with us!

Stampin' Up! Festive Cheer Gift Card Holder Christmas Card

I started by scoring a panel of patterned paper from the Yuletide Carols DSP at 3″, 6-1/2″ and 10-1/2″.  I folded the panel on the 10-1/2″ score line “in” and applied adhesive to the very top and very bottom of the panel to create the “pocket” for the gift card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Festive Cheer stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.  Then I stamped the stars image from the Festive Cheer stamp set in Early Espresso ink three times on the panel.  I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Early Espresso card stock and then to the area between the 3″ and 6-1/2″ score lines.

I adhered a panel of Yuletide Carols DSP to a panel of Early Espresso card stock with Stampin’ Seal and then adhered the layered panel to the left edge of the DSP panel.  Then I folded the DSP panel on the score lines and then adhered the DSP to a panel of Early Espresso card stock with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Festive Cheer Gift Card Holder Christmas Card

I cut a panel of Autumn Woodland Glimmer Specialty Paper with the bow die from the Festive Cheer Dies and then adhered the die cut to the top of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Festive Cheer stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and then cut around it with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I punched a panel of Early Espresso card stock with the 1-7/8″ Circle Punch and then adhered the two die cuts together with Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish the card front.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
