More Wedding Gift Card Holders

An old friend from high school saw my last post about the gift card holder that I made for Kathy and Kell's wedding, and asked me to make 2 for her! This time... I actually wrote down measurements and took pictures of each step! So here you go!

You will need:

5 sheets of 8.5 x 11 white cardstock.

2-3 sheets of accent cardstock/ paper. I used 8.5 x 11 and needed 3 sheets, but with 12 x 12 you will only need 2.

Adhesive and embellishments of your choice. I used:

Cuttlebug embossing folders: Swiss Dots & D'vine Swirl and the Embossing Borders were from the With Love set.

Cricut Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge for monograms

PTI Ribbon, CS, Stamps and Ink, Misc bling and pearls from Hobby Lobby, Prima flowers, SU butterfly die and slot punch, Christmas Red Stickles

 

For the box base:

Cut 4 sheets of white cardstock at 8.5 x 8.5, and score each at 4.25 in both directions.

Cut out one of the 4.25 squares leaving you with an "L" shaped piece of CS. Save these for the cake!

Adhere the 4 "L"s until you have a large square

 

For the lid:

Cut last sheet of white CS at 6.5 x 6.5 and score at 1" on each side

Slit on 4 score lines to make tabs, adhere to form the box lid

   

For the cake:

Using the scraps from your box base, you need to leave 1 square at 4.25 and cut 1 square at 3.75 & one at 3.25.

 

 
Score all 3 squares at .75 on each side and follow the directions for the lid

Adhere cake layers together with liquid adhesive (I used Zip Dry Paper Glue)

 

Now you are ready to embellish! Cut 10- 4" squares out of your accent paper. I ran 6 through my Cuttlebug embossing folders, and the other 4 I added an embossed border to and used the SU slot punch to hold the gift cards in.

I cut butterflies from the scraps for one of the boxes, and used Prima flowers and lots of bling for the other.

 

Sorry for the not so good pictures.. it was after 10pm when I finished these last night!

 

 

 

Wedding Cake Explosion Box

Ok.. now that the wedding is over I can show off the most awesome gift-card holder that I have ever made! My fabulously talented little sister Amanda made this explosion box as a Christmas gift for my Grandparents. Eric was so impressed that he insisted I make one for a wedding gift for his cousin Kathy. It took some time to figure out how to make a 3D wedding cake but I figured it out! The wedding colors were Tiffany blue, Black and White... so this is what I came up with:

 

The turquoise cardstock and butterfly die is from Stampin Up, the pearls are from Hobby Lobby, white and black CS and ribbon is Papertrey Ink, The "K" was cut from my Cricut (can't remember the cart...) and I used the Swiss Dots embossing folder in my Cuttlebug.

The other two gift card spots were filled by my FIL after I took the pictures, and he hand delivered the gift to the wedding. I hope that Kathy and Kel had a wonderful wedding!

Graduation Gift

I started out making a card for my sister and playing with PTIs new felt. I wanted to make a flower... but it turned out a little big for a card. So I turned it into a pin/ headband instead!

Then I made a card with more of the felt..

And a coordinating notepad (there are actually 2 PTI notepads in this holder

I used PTI's Hawaiian Shore CS, Felt, and ink. Lots of pearls, some glitter (applied with a Zig 2-way Glue Pen), Nesties, a little ribbon and some stitching were used to tie all 3 pieces together. 
 
 
 

Crafty Girls

PP: KI Memories
CS: Bazzill
Alpha Stickers: Urban Lily, Artic Frog
Stamps, Ink, Buttons, Ribbon: PTI

I made the orange PP strip using PTI stamps (from multiple sets) and ink to mimic the background PP and pull out the orange.

Strawberry Shortcake

I actually scrapbooked this weekend!

I made the background paper myself! I had some Rhonda Farrer PP that I loved, but was the wrong color pink. So I broke out my PTI Fancy Flourishes stamp set, some Hibiscus Burst ink, and Versamark. Then I sponged Fresh Snow ink around the edges of some Bazzill CS.

The cupcake accent is from the Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge. The "cake" is embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder, and the wrapper is crimped (Fiskars Crimper). The "M" bling is from Hobby Lobby.

Stickles, Queen and Co felt fusion, Heidi Swapp "sweet", and a napkin cut out with Nesties finishes the page. I do not like the journaling block so I will probably redo it...

Sending You

I was playing around with my new stamps and ink from PTI and came up with this card! The Maya Road stickpin matches perfectly with the PTI Sweet Blush ink, CS and ribbon.  I used my scallop nesties and paper pierced the scallops for a little more detail. The stamp sets used are Big and Bold Wishes and Fancy Flourishes.

SC266 - Birthday Card

I made the following card using the SC266 Sketch from SplitCoastStampers. All supplies are PTI except for the bling. I knew that I wanted to use the cupcake image from the Sweet Treats cartridge, so this sketch worked out perfectly. I cut everything at 3" except for the cupcake wrapper which I cut at 3.25. I then ran the wrapper through my crimper. I added some bling (from Michaels) to the cherry.

I used the Wishing You... stamp set from PTI for the sentiment, and the scallop heart Nesties that my sister gave me for Christmas. I used my paper piercer around the larger heart, and the bling heart is actually an old earring of mine. The cupcake and the mat behind it are both popped up using stamping dimensionals. I am really pleased with how this card turned out!

Megan's Card

Megan and I made a card for a Birthday Party that she is going to tonight. She picked out the image (from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge) and the papers. She even picked out the stamps! She glued everything together also. All supplies are PTI except for the stickles. For some reason I can not find my pink or red stickles...
