Christmas Tags & More Gift Card Holder for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #283

It’s Thursday! That means it’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge!
Here’s this week’s inspiration board.

I really enjoy choosing elements from the Tic Tac Toe board and creating handmade cards! This week I went straight down the left side with ornament, red, and Christmas sentiment. Here’s my card:
Stampin' Up! Jolly Holly Christmas Gift Card Holder with Christmas Tags & More Specialty Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This fun fold card is called a Vertizontal Pocket Card. Huh?!
The “Vertizontal” Pocket Card is a vertical square pocket card plus a horizontal layer. This unique pocket card design (from Robin Armbrecht) is perfect for giving gift cards (or cash) for any occasion.

Here are the measurements:

  • Vertical Cardstock- 4 1/4 x 10 scored along 10″ side @ 1 1/2 & 5 3/4
  • Horizontal Cardstock- 4 3/16 x 5 1/2, 4 x 4 (front layer)
  • Designer Series Paper (*coordinating patterns)- 1 1/8 x 4(H), 1 1/4 x 4 (L),
    3 3/4 x 3 3/4 
  • Basic White – 2 1/2 x 4 (for inside sentiment)

The horizontal cardstock adheres to the middle section of the vertical cardstock and sticks out on the right side. The 1 1/2″ score line at the bottom folds up to create the pocket for the gift card.

This unique assortment of paper and precut images makes it easy to coordinate colors and images on your Christmas cards and gift tags. It includes 6 x 6 full-sheet designs, cut-apart designs for card fronts and tags, and precut images for quick accent. The ornament on the front of my card is one of the precut images. I just added some ribbon and Pearl Basic Jewels.

This fun fold design is one of 3 cards I created for my Mystery Monday Stampin’ Challenge this week. If you are new to my blog, you may be wondering what is Mystery Monday Stampin’? First of all, it is super fun!!!! The best part is you USE WHAT YOU HAVE to create a handmade card! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned stamper, this is a creative way to kick off your week with stamping fun. When you follow my clues you will end up with a fun fold card layout you can use over and over. Plus, after the Mystery is solved I share the PDF with the clues so you can print it off to make the card again.

E is for Evergreens for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #18

Welcome to my ABC Holiday Series. Evergreens are a holiday symbol and the focal point on my card today.

Stampin Up Carols of Christmas Card Idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I chose elements from this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge to create my card. It’s not often I make a card without a sentiment on the front. That’s one of the things I really enjoy about the Tic Tac Toe Challenge…. I try different things. Here’s this week’s board that inspired my card today:

img_7860

I made tic tac toe 2 ways…down the left row and across the bottom. It was easier than I thought! I hope you will pick 3 and play along this week!

Yesterday I shared a project I made using the Carols of Christmas Stamp Set. (If you missed that post you can see it HERE.) Today’s card uses the Card Front Builder Dies from the Carols of Christmas Bundle. I love that Stampin’ Up offers a 10% savings when you purchase the bundle!

Today’s evergreen card is for my nephew. He recently purchased his first home and it’s in the woods with lots of trees and animals. He has been busy renovating his home so I made this card with a pocket for a gift card. Here’s the details how I made it.

I started with a 4 1/4 x 10 piece of Garden Green cardstock.  I scored it at 4 1/4 and 8 1/2.  I layered a piece of 4 x 4 DSP from Be Merry Designer Series Paper on the front.  I used the Layering Circles Framelits to cut 3 circles.  I embossed the white piece using the Gently Falling Embossing Folder. I cut the bottom off the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper circle and adhered it to the white layer. I used the Card Front Builder Dies to cut the evergreen trees from Garden Green cardstock and the deer from Chocolate Chip cardstock. I love all the layers with texture and sparkle!

I used the grid paper to line up my card before adhering the circle layer to make sure it was 5 1/2″ tall so it would fit in a standard envelope. I wrapped the Quilted Christmas Ribbon around the front of my card and tied a simple knot.

I cut a 4 x 4 piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Carols Of Christmas. I added Tear & Tape as shown to hold my gift card and used a 1 1/4 x 4 piece of matching DSP on the inside of my card.

I love to decorate my envelopes to coordinate and tie it all together.
