February Meeting

Hi and welcome to the new Stampers 10 club and blog.

This month has been pretty crazy and I would like to say a massive thank you for your patience with me!

Well I made the most of the last few days of Sale-a-Bration and we used Happy Moments and Whimsical Words and some lovely bright Spring like colours...the weather will hopefully follow suit and be 'Spring like' soon!

As promised here are the directions for the gift card holder:

Gift Card Holder

Taken with Teal c/s 8” x 4¾”
Cameo Coral c/s 4½” x 3¾”
envelope
sticky velcro
grosgrain ribbon 5”
cardstock  and tab punch for insert
All in the Family, Curvy Verses and Whimsical Words (SAB) stamp sets

1. Using VersaMark ink pad, stamp the polka dot image onto the Cameo Coral cardstock. Trim this piece along smallest edge at 3” giving you  two panels.
2. Stamp sentiment onto largest Cameo Coral piece.
3. Stamp cake image white cardstock, the colour using favourite colouring technique.
4. Punch out image using 1¾” circle punch. Set aside.
5. Score Taken with Teal cardstock at 3¼” and 6⅝”.
6. Punch a scallop edge along the top of the cardstock (small flap). Save the waste strip.
7. Fix the waste strip from the scallop edge to the small piece of Cameo Coral cardstock along centre. You will need to trim the end.
8. Fix Coral panels to the front of your GC holder as in example.
9. Seal envelope then fold in half with seams facing outwards.
10. Punch half circles in the middle of the smaller edges, then trim edges away.
11. Apply sticky tape down the middle of the inside of the folded envelope and stick.
12. Next apply sticky tape to both of the outsides of the envelope either side of the half circle.
13. Attach folded envelope to the inside of the GC holder.
14. Decorate insert as required.
15. Finish the front by punching small holes using the crop-o-dile on the small flap
16. and tying a simple bow.
17. Attach cake image with foam pads.
18. Finally attach Velcro.
19. You should now have a cute little gift card holder that can be used for so many purposes if you change out the images and maybe even the size!

 Here are the pictures of the baby gift card holder that I had also made:

 

 

Take care
