Gift Certificate – Creative Juice by Loni

The Trucking Along bundle (an Online Exclusive in my Stampin’ Store) is an all-occasion crafting set of stamps and coordinating punch and today I’ll demonstrate how to make a slide-up gift card holder to present gift cards, money, gift certificates or other flat items for ANY occasion:

This is the outside of the holder and below you’ll see the holiday version we created at the Christmas Card Class in Cedar City a few weeks ago. When you open the card, the pocket slides up to show the gift inside!

You probably noticed the coordinating envelopes…as long as you are stamping the truck for the front of the card, you may as well stamp a second time on the envelope to make it festive!

Cutting and scoring instructions:

Card base (I used Fresh Freesia for the birthday version): 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 1-3/4″ and 7-1/4″, plus the same color card stock 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ for the mat on the top layer.

Sliding insert: THICK white card stock 6-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ scored at 1/2″, then flipped to the back side and scored at 5-1/4″ (I explain why in the video)

Designer Series Paper: 4″ x 3″ for top layer, 3-1/2″ x 4″ for top part of card and 1-1/2″ x 4″ for bottom section.

Watch for the tips to make this easy to assemble:

If your significant other starts asking what YOU WANT for Christmas (because it is now less than 2 weeks away 😆), did you know I offer gift certificates? They can be used on an order through me and/or toward one of my classes or events! Send them my way and I’ll take care of them (and you).

If they are really early, they could take advantage of a JUST ANNOUNCED one-day of FREE SHIPPING on December 14th (on orders over $75):

Pre-printed card bases and envelopes can be the jumping off point for your creativity to explode!

The Warm Wishes Cards & Envelopes “Add On” pack to the November Paper Pumpkin Warm Wishes kit are BIG (5″ x 7″) and SPARKLY (glitter accents on the snow and in the sky) and a perfect canvas to add to with other supplies.

First, they also coordinated with the OCTOBER Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin kit (subscribers can grab the refills HERE while they last), so I just cut off the front of the landscape card from the kit and mounted it to the front of the card.

Next, you can add stamped, punched or fussy cut images from Designer Series Paper (like Beary Christmas) to the scene for a festive holiday card in the nighttime forest! I added sentiments using the stamps from the Oct. Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin Kit, and there will probably be more coming in the Warm Wishes kit in November…

My creative friends voted on Facebook and 90% of them prefer an EXPERIENCE over a tangible gift. Good News! You can gift Paper Pumpkin subscription (which is both tangible AND an experience) to a friend with a 1-, 3-, 6- or 12-month pre-paid craft box to their mail box each month!

When the receipt is emailed to you, it includes a printable Gift Certificate you can dress up in a BOX made from the Warm Wishes Cards (or you can just forward the email to your friend and follow up to make sure they redeem the gift):

All of these projects were demonstrated in my Live Video today:

REMEMBER: The Warm Wishes Cards & Envelopes Add-On package are available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST and are ONLY available to Paper Pumpkin Subscribers, so SUBSCRIBE NOW!

I do expect them to sell out, so get yours QUICKLY, then you can enjoy using them with the November 2023 Warm Wishes kit as well:

The Warm WIshes kit will create 8 treat packaging boxes (4 each of 2 different designs), 1 Mossy Meadow ink spot, 8 clear food-safe bags, linen thread and a photopolymer stamp set.
