Hi Stamping Friends!
Today I'm sharing another project from our "Anything But A Card" team swap last week.
Cheryl's Festive Fireplace Gift Card Holder
I was blown away by all of the details on this awesome gift card holder designed by Cheryl Wifong! She featured the Festive Fireplace stamp set and Festive Fireside Framelits, as well as the matching Hearth & Home Framelits, to create an adorable holiday scene with a surprise inside!
When you pull the mantle up, it reveals a gift card that can be tucked neatly inside! Too Cool!
Fireplace Gift Card Pocket—Cheryl stamped the Festive Fireplace image onto Cherry Cobbler card stock in Basic Black ink, then die-cut it with the coordinating Hearth & Home Framelits and adhered a 2-1/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Basic Grey inside the fireplace hole. She cut a 2-3/4" x 3" piece of Cherry Cobbler for the back and adhered them together with Tear & Adhesive Tape. It's the perfect width for a gift card as long as you keep your adhesive flush with the edges.
Fireplace Top—The fireplace image was stamped again onto Chocolate Chip card stock and trimmed down to form the top part of the fireplace pocket. When it's closed it forms the bottom part of the mantle where the stockings hang.
Fireplace Décor—The fire image was stamped in Black onto Whisper White, die-cut with the matching Festive Fireside Framelit, then sponged with Soft Suede, Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight. She used the framelits to die-cut the stockings from the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper. So cute!
Fireplace Mantle—The fireplace mantle image was stamped onto Chocolate Chip card stock, then die-cut with the Hearth & Home Framelits. And, the pine bough image was stamped in Old Olive onto Old Olive card stock and die-cut. Looks like she used an Early Espresso Marker to color in the pine cones to make them stand out.
Candles—It looks like Cheryl hand-cut the three Whisper White candles and adhered them behind the mantle, along with some Daffodil Delight card stock flames.
Pocket Topper—Once all of the pieces of the mantle were in secured in place, Cheryl adhered the top and side edges to a piece of Whisper White card stock with Tear & Adhesive Tape, then hand-trimmed around the mantle, bough and candles for a custom-fit back. The bottom of the mantle isn't adhered, so it will fit nicely over the top of the gift card.
Festive Fireplace Stamps & Festive Fireside Framelits Bundle—Don't forget that you can save 15% when you purchase the Festive Fireplace stamps and Festive Fireside Framelits together in the Festive Fireplace Bundle!
Hearth & Home Thinlits & Happy Scenes Stamps Bundle—Did you catch that TWO Cool dies work together to create this festive fireplace? The Hearth & Home Thinlits can be used with the Festive Fireplace stamp set to cut the fireplace and mantle images, and can also be used with the Happy Scenes stamp set to cut a window and window sill! Talk about fun & versatile! Bundle these two and save 15%, too!
