Crafty Gift Card Holder

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s combine two stamps sets today to create a fun “Crafty Tool Bag” gift card holder! We will be using the Ai Craft Bag and Die Set (5502) and the Ai Tool Bag and Die Set (5503). I thought the tool bag looked a bit like the craft tote that I bring with me when I am going to a friends house to do some crafting. So let’s fill it with all of the fun elements from the Craft Bag Set including the scissors, pens, ruler, pencils, notebook, etc. When you die cut this little tool bag with your dies…it will cut out all of these openings and pockets so that you have a place to tuck in all of your fun craft supplies!

To create a fun pattern for this bag we will stamp the tool bag onto some pretty lavender floral paper from Lawn Fawn. We will stamp the tool bag image again on some white cardstock and cut out some of the trim work for additional interest.

Next we can stamp and color all of the crafty supplies using the Tombow Twintone Dual Tip Markers in the Brights colors! These bright colors will look great on our little gift card holder! Let’s blend these colors using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Blender Pen….but you could also use a water brush here as well!

We can tuck all of these items into our craft bag! Now let’s create the Gift Card Holder using the Ai Envelope GCH Die Set (5344). This is so quick and easy to assemble!

We can also create a notecard for the inside of the gift card holder and add a few more crafty elements here as well. A few buttons, scissors and a pretty bow will complete this notecard!

And finally…for the front of the gift card holder…we can add a few baubles and a bow!

Your crafty friends will love this….especially if you add a gift card to their favorite craft store!!!

Art Impressions “Java” Valentine Gift Card Holder

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!

In today’s video we will be creating a special Valentine Gift Card Holder using the Java GCH Set (5343)! This set comes with all of the dies needed to create a take-out style coffee cup for the front of your Envelope Gift Card Holder (which does need to be purchased separately). But once you have the Envelope GCH Set you can then add any of the GCH Sets to this little pocket envelope.

We will be repurposing some left over Christmas/Holiday papers! This is a great time to look through your holiday paper stash and use up some of those leftovers. Many of the holiday papers include reds and pinks that are perfect for your Valentine cards. The paper pack that we are using today has some coordinating double sided papers that I thought would be perfect for my gift card holder. I did create this in a more masculine palette but you could certainly change out your pattern papers to get a more feminine look.

The GCH collection also includes the Santa Set (5339), Snowman Set (5340), Birthday Cake Set (5407), and the Black Cat Set (5341). If you really love these little gift card holders you may enjoy watching a few different videos I have done using these products, which are linked below:

Wedding/Birthday Cake Cards

Today’s card was inspired by the current Art Impressions Blog Challenge which is to create a fun and unique shaped card and I thought this “Java” cup would be perfect! Please join us in this super fun challenge by linking your card creations or just by checking out the cards submitted by your crafty peers!

Art Impressions Vintage Christmas Wreath Card

Hello Ai Fans!!!

For todays card and video I’m excited to show you this elegant vintage Christmas Wreath Card! This was created using the Christmas Wreath Set (4791). This is just such a beautiful wreath set which includes a lovely bow, sentiment and holly/berry sprig! We will be using all of the elements of this stamp set for this card today!

I will show you how to easily create this archway shaped card! To add some dimension we will be using a 3-D Textured Embossing Folder and we will stack up several of the bows for some nice visual interest!

To give this card a vintage vibe, we will add some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink. For even more dimension we will add some Crystal Glaze to the little berries in our wreath!

We will also finish the inside of the card by adding another archway and decorating it with the holly and berry sprigs and we will stamp the “Merry Christmas” sentiment with some Red Geranium ink!!!

Art Impressions Masculine Scene Card and Gift Card Holder

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!!

In today’s video and card I thought I would create a masculine scene card and matching gift card holder.

Shhhhh…don’t tell my husband that this is his Valentine Card Set! He loves the outdoors and takes long walks everyday….rain, shine or snow. So I thought that it would be fun to create a peaceful winter scene using the beautiful “As the Deer” stamp set (5128) and the sentiment “Life with you is Wonderful” from the “Enjoy the Ride” stamp set (5186)!

This is a very simple scene to create. So if you are little bit intimidated about trying an elaborate watercolor scene card then this might be just the card for you!

To set the scene I have used a wonderful Sizzix 3-D Textured Embossing Folder with Jeweled Snowflakes!

I think this could also be used for a retirement (which I show an example), birthday, anniversary, or even a sympathy card due to its peaceful nature!
