My Too Cool Demo Team gathered together last night for a Holiday Shoebox Swap. We each brought supplies for everyone in the group to make a cute & quick holiday gift! We had SO much fun! I'll be sharing all the projects we made on upcoming posts, but today, I'm showing you the project I brought to the event!
CASEd from Heather Summers at Stamp With Heather.
Aren't these the cutest gift card holders?! Love them, especially the gingerbread man! Both images are from the Scentsational Season stamp set. Cute, cute, cute!
The Real Red gift card pouch is created with the Fancy Favor Die…I provide more details on assembly below.
The pouch holds a 2-3/4" x 10" folded, Soft Suede mini card, stamped with peppermint images from the Jolly Bingo Bits stamp set stamped in Soft Suede. I punched a 1/4" hole in the top by the fold and tied on some Real Red Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon.
Inside is the perfect size to hold a gift card and/or add a sentiment. You could tack the card in with a Glue Dot, but I added a slit with the retired Slit Punch. I stamped the top with mini gingerbread men from the Jolly Bingo Bits set in Soft Suede to match the front.
The pouch is embossed with the Chevron Impressions Folder, then wrapped with a 1" x 7" Soft Suede card stock piece, and 3/4" x 7" Polka Dot Party Designer Series Paper piece.
I added a Decorative Label Punch layer in Soft Suede underneath the Scentsation Season gingerbread man stamped in Soft Suede and die-cut with the Holiday Collection Framelits. He's embellished with a Real Red button from the Brights Buttons tied with some Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine.
Make Your Own Gift Card Slider Pouch
Here are instructions for using the Fancy Favor XL Die to create your pouch…
- The Fancy Favor Die is an extended die, but you only need part of it for this project. So, I started with a standard half sheet of card stock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". You'll need both "sides" of the box, plus the front panel. You won't need the back of the box or the tab that's adjacent to it.
- Once it's cut, you'll trim off any excess so only the sides and front panels show.
- Also trim off the bottom tabs from the sides of the box, but keep the "v-shaped" tab from the center panel.
- Line up your die-cut piece in your embossing folder so that the word "Sizzix" is on the top of the folder.
- The new, longer embossing folders will cover one side, the front and nearly half of the other side.
- On the raised embossing side, add Sticky Strip to the bottom tab and the non-embossed edge. (I had to switch up the colors so you could see the red tape…haha!)
- Flip the piece over and add more Sticky Strip to the bottom and edge of the fully embossed side panel, as shown.
- Fold in the bottom tab first, then the half-embossed side, then the fully embossed side. I was surprised to discover that the embossing practically matches up on the back-side! Too Cool!
My second project used the Delicate Designs Impresions Folders for the scallop border (which also matches up nicely in back!). I stamped the candy cane from Jolly Bingo Bits in Real Red on the Real Red card stock, and the tie is Soft Suede Taffeta Ribbon.
I also added a couple of layers of the Decorative Label Punch in Whisper White to give the candy cane embellishment more contrast. Simply punch two extra white punches, cut them in half (one vertically, one horizontally), then adhere each piece peeking out of the side of the Soft Suede punch.
This was lots of fun to make and really quite easy! Have fun trying it out!
