Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ every month, with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. This month we are, of course, focusing on Christmas. So, here’s the deal. Our kids and grandkids are at the age when they appreciate gift cards more than gifts. I don’t think I ever appreciated gift cards. I would rather receive a gift I can’t use, than a gift card. But today kids are different and that’s OK. They are great and they would never tell us they prefer the moola, but a grandma knows! LOL.

Of course, we can’t (well, we can, but would never, right?) just hand a gift card. So, what do we do? We package them in little greeting cards, or wallet gift holders. I do a Mystery Stamping once a week on my Facebook group and the card I am showcasing today is the very first one I did. Of course, I had a little help. Namely Sharon Armstrong. She is the person that introduced me to Mystery Stamping and I am so glad she did. My group members just love it.

Ok enough chit chat. You dropped by to see my card. I don’t know if this fold has a name, but it is so cute, I had to re-do it.

To reproduce this card, you will need cardstock 4-1/4 x 11, scored and folded at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2; (the 2-3/4 fold gets folded in the opposite direction of the 5-1/2 fold, so I guess we call it a “Z” fold); Cut another piece of cardstock 3-1/2 x 9, scored and folded at 4-1/2 and a piece of coordinating cardstock that measures 4-3/4 x 4.

You will cut DSP pieces as follows:

2 pieces measuring 4 x 3-1/4. On one piece, cut a half circle at the top (to see the gift card when inserted. Glue that piece to the inside back of the small card.
(Hint: put glue only on the two sides and bottom of DSP creating a pocket to insert a gift card. I helps if you put the gift card down before sticking the DSP. The opening is not so tight,)

Stamp a sentiment or write a message on the bottom of the small card. When I was editing my project photos, I realized that I put an English sentiment on the front and stamped a French sentiment on the inside. It’s a good thing my grandkids are bilingual. LOL

Glue the cardstock (4-3/4 x 4) to the inside of the large card. Then glue the small card to the cardstock on the inside of the card base.

Glue the piece of DSP (4 x 2-1/2) to the small front panel of the card base.

Create an image or sentiment about 1 to 1-1/2″ and put dimensionnals only at the bottom. Adhere it the bottom of large card. Tuck the bottom of the small card under the sentiment.. Let’s not forget to decorate our envelope.

I created a wreath for my focal point. I cut one in Evening Evergreen, one in Soft Succulent and of course one in gold; layered the wreaths together off centering them to mak a fuller wreath. Added an Evening Evergreen bow with a gold bow on top and glued the to the top of the wreath. Who ever heard of a wreath without a bow, right?

I hope you enjoyed this card and that you create for for someone you love.

Please ask your demonstrator for help if you need to order any of these projects. However, if you don’t yet have a demonstrator, I would be overjoyed if you choose me to assist you.
