At a recent monthly stamping club gathering, my club members and I created a gift card holder. The card was originally created by Rose Coleman, but I used new materials to create my own version.
Measurements:
Card base: (Mine is in Fresh Freesia) 5 1/2 by 11”, scored at 3 1/2”, 7 3/4”. Fold with smaller piece (3 1/4” flap), folded in to make the inside of card, the gift card holder.
DSP: Front: 3 3/8” by 5 3/8” Inside: 3 1/8” by 5 3/8”
Adhere panels down on front and inside.
Punch the inside flap with a half circle punch (small) and then tape down inside flap that will be the gift card holder with Tear n Tape.
I used a panel from the Scalloped Contours Dies on the inside (left side) of the gift card holder.
This is what the inside looks like — see Step 2 & 3:
4. Use 16” of ribbon to wrap around the back of the card and bring to the front.
5. Decorate the front of the gift card holder with a sentiment, popping up with dimensionals. I used the Beautiful Shapes Dies largest circle, and stamped a sentiment from the Layering Leaves.
Think of the possibilities with this gift card holder — any two coordinating Designer Series papers would give this an entirely different look, right?
I hope you enjoyed my project, and thanks to Rose Coleman for the idea. So fun! The products needed to create this card are found below – click on one to start shopping with me! And don’t forget about Bonus Days! (Read on to get more details!)

My step daughter recently completed her Master’s in Environmental Studies, and now she would like to send eight Thank You Cards to all the professors and cohort members who helped her achieve this great goal. With her concentration in fisheries, I thought it would be fun to use the Let’s Go Fishing DSP. Here are the two card styles I created:
I started with a card base of Very Vanilla. To that, I adhered a panel of the Fishing DSP measuring 5 1/2″ by 4 1/4″ to completely cover the front of the card base. I also cut a coordinating DSP from the paper set at 3″ by 4 1/2″. I adhered that panel to the layer of DSP on the front, lining it up to the top of the card.
I love the sentiments from the Tropical Leaf Stamp Set — such a cool ‘scrawl’ font!
I stamped the sentiments using scrap pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock, and then a retired sentiment punch to make it quick and easy. The embellishments added just a touch of bling, and I was done.
The “Let’s Go Fishing” DSP has been one of the most popular set of papers in the Annual Catalog. Every pattern is just super! It doesn’t happen too often, but please note that the base color of these papers is indeed Very Vanilla — so rich!
I hope you enjoyed my project. The products needed to create this card are found below – click on one to start shopping with me! And don’t forget about Bonus Days!

Today my club members and I created a card that cutely resembles a small section of a quilt. The card was originally created by Lynn Dunn at Stamptastic Designs. It is so easy – you could mass produce these with very little time, and use any Designers Series Papers you wanted. Here’s one version I did:
Here are your measurements. There aren’t many:
Vellum Cardstock: 3 x 4 3/4
White panel: 4” by 4”
Two punches from bundle
Cardstock base: A2 (5 1/2” by 8 1/2”, scored at 4 1/4”)
Any two coordinating DSP papers for punching
I love the Countryside Inn Designer Series Papers — they make this card so easy because of all the beautiful coordinating blue designs you can choose from. Here they are:
To create this card, I used the two punches from the Inked and Tiled Bundle. I punched four of each of the two punches, using two different patterns. Here’s the Inked Suite Collection — the punches make this SO easy!
Once you have punched out four of two different patterns, start arranging them on your card front onto which you have adhered the Vellum Cardstock, and your white square panel. Affix the punched patterns like a quilt, and then add a Basic White punched out pattern in the middle with your stamped sentiment on it.
I hope you enjoyed my project, and thanks to Lynn Dunn for the idea. Check out p. 95 of the Annual Catalog to see another idea with the same concept. So fun! The products needed to create this card are found below – click on one to start shopping with me! And don’t forget about Bonus Days!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is CASE the Catalog. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I love to use the catalog as a source of inspiration and ideas. CASE-ing SU!’s artisans can take a lot of the work out of it. You just have to sit back and enjoy the crafting part! My treat bag comes from inspiration found on p. 115 at the top. The 2023–2025 IN COLOR TREAT BAGS come in all five of the new In Colors.
I chose a Boho Blue bag, and an entirely different set of dies for my CASE: the Paper Florist Dies. The possibilities are endless as you create all kinds of flowers using different combinations of the die pieces. Here’s my project:
I used a variety of colors to build my bouquet: Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Garden Green, and Granny Apple Green. I used a variety of the dies to create my flowers and leaves, with the Fresh Freesia larger flower as the star of the show. I like putting the flowers down first, and then fitting the leaves around the flowers.
I adhered the flowers and leaves with glue dots, and white glue — it’s very much whichever you prefer! Because these flowers can be quite “3D,” a treat bag like this can really work, because you have your gift already wrapped, so no need for an envelope! The flowers can stick up as much as you want!
The Paper Florist Dies are so amazing — look at all the fun shapes you can use to build your flowers! And the multiple petals on some dies make it actually very quick.
I used the Boho Blue 3/8″ Texture Ribbon (it comes in all the new In Colors!) to wrap the bag and tie a bow. I finished off with some Adhesive Backed Solid Gems!
I hope you enjoyed my project today. All the supplies can be found below our Blog Hop Team Links. A simple click will have you shopping for these delightful dies with me!
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are very excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month (always the second Wednesday each month), when our theme will be “Punch Your Art Out.” Until then, have fun in your craft space!
