As I stand at the checkout, I often scan the array of gift cards that are available. And, then I think about how I could make coordinating gift card holding cards.

When I spotted the gift cards for the Apple Store I knew it would be perfect for using the APPLE BUILDER PUNCH.

I chose to use PACIFIC POINT because it is the closest colour match to the gift card.

As I was looking through my stamp sets, to find the right HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I rediscovered BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM. This was the first time I used the sentiment for a project.

The front of the envelope was stamped using Post It notes to mask the birthday greeting and split the sentiment across two rows.

The gift card pocket is under the left hand flap that has been stamped, with the same birthday greeting, several times.

Now it’s time to decide who to give a gift card for their birthday.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can buy any of them through me.

The designer series paper in the BOHO INDIGO PRODUCT MEDLEY is one of my favourites. I love the two blue tones, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy, used alongside Very Vanilla.

This cute little 3″x 3″ x 1″ box can fit all sorts of chocolate treats or other goodies inside.

Using the corner rounder from the DETAILED TRIO PUNCH leaves a soft edge to the DSP pieces and front flap.

The Medley also has these gorgeous paper flowers. There are two sizes and I love the way they are finished with a little wooden bead.

I was able to punch the small round hole, for the ribbon, using the LABEL ME FANCY PUNCH.

This is such a lovely little gift box and I am so pleased with the way it finished up.

What would you put inside?

When I first saw the HEARTWARMING HUGS SUITE I didn’t put it on my list … initially.

After I combed through the AUGUST – DECEMBER MINI CATALOGUE, I gave it a longer study and tried to think of other ways I could use some of the products.

A few ideas started developing … and I also started looking at other products I could use …

Eventually, this is what I decided on – a house warming gift carrier.

The cruet set is a little tall for the carrier, but it shows you what I was thinking. I need to try two mini bubbles bottles next.

It took two stamp sets to create the greeting.

So the project was a collaboration between the HEARTWARMING HUGS SUITE and the TRIMMING THE TOWN SUITE … and nothing Christmas related in site.

Now I just have to wait now to find someone who is moving into a new home to give them a house warming gift.

One of the great features of the TRIMMING THE TOWN DSP is that the HOME TOGETHER DIES die cut the house images perfectly.

So you can either stamp and colour all the little houses and die cut them or just die cut the DSP!

I’m going to enjoy finding goodies to pop inside the carrier and then decorate accordingly.

I may also create something using the coffee cups – so many things to create – projects for another day.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this project. If you live in Australia, you can order any of these through me.
