Hi there, Stampin' Friends! Here is the second make n take project for October. Gift cards are the popular gift in this day and age. The Gift Card Envelope & Trims thinlits make it quick and easy to create a beautiful way to conceal your gift card. There are several ways to 'seal' your gift card holder. For this particular one, we created a 'coin envelope' type closure. You can, however, use a belly band, ribbon, velcro, or glue dots.
The die requires a 6" x 6" piece of card stock. We used the Kraft Cardstock which comes in 12" x 12" sheets. You can also use 8 1/2 x 11" card stock but you have a lot of 'waste'. I am guessing designer paper would work also. I have not tried it though...yet.
Here is the front of the Gift Card Holder:
The back:
and the insert:
Your gift card can be attached to back of the insert with glue dots or you can just stick the gift card in the envelope along with the insert.
Here is the video showing how this sample is created. Hope it helps you get creative!
If you have any question, feel free to ask! Comments are always welcome.

Hi there, Stampin' Friends! Today I have the card we made at Stamp Club. Some time ago, we had used this same layout for a wedding card. Changing the color of card stock, stamp sets, and adding texture with a different embossing folder has created a completely different look.
Here is the wedding card made in black and white.
The newest version is made in Black and Crumb Cake.
My lighting is not good and doesn't reveal the true beauty of this card. Here is another angle...

The whole front panel flips up to reveal the greeting...
The first Stampin' Up! party I attended (over 15 to 20 yrs ago) used the heat and stick powder and glitter. I was so amazed by it that I ordered everything it took to make that one card. (Am I the only one who does something like that? I'm guessing I'm not alone!) It was a snowman in a window. He was adorable! However, I never used the heat and stick powder or the glitter because I couldn't remember how we had done the 'technique'. Fast forward to the present....I have ordered the products again but this time I'm using them and just love the results! That star is so beautiful in real life! I will be sharing another card in the near future using the glitter...it really does add a WOW factor! *** If you order product and can't remember how to use it, contact me. I'd be more than happy to help...don't leave it in the bag or a drawer!
Here are the measurements for the card stock:
Basic Black: one of each: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4, 4 x 1 3/4 (scored at 1/8" on one of the 1 3/4" side), 3 3/4 x 2 3/4
Crumb Cake: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8", 3 3/4" x 1 5/8", and 2 pieces cut at 3 5/8" x 2 5/8".
Here is the video showing how to create this card. You can change up the stamp set, embossing folder, and/or card stock and create a whole new look.
