A Gift Card Fold for Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop

 

Welcome to our Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop for November - I'm so happy you dropped by to share our fun projects today! Our theme this month is "folds" and I thought this was a great way to remind you of a quick and easy way to add gift cards to your family or friends Holiday greetings - grab your cuppa' and take a look!

I've loved making cards with the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Papers this year - such a pretty colour palette and the hits of silver make for some great sparkle too! For my main card today, I decided to make my card base in Misty Moonlight as it's a perfect contrast for the lighter shades in the DSP and it's one of the coordinating colours listed on the back of the package (see how easy it is to match your look?). 

Simply score your 4 1/4" x 11" base at 5 1/2" and at 2". The 2" score line tucks under to become the gift card holder and the rest gets decorated like a normal card.  You can add a variety of embellishments to your card and envelope - today I decided to add some of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon as a backing to my greeting and I fussy cut some of the packages on the DSP to pop them onto the card front before adding a few rhinestones. I added some DSP and a Silver Foil strip to the envelope flap. 

Inside the card got a Basic White panel to add your personal touch and the gift card pocket was fastened down with Tear & Tape and prettied up with more of the DSP in a more neutral Misty Moonlight pattern.

While I'm sharing gift card holder ideas, I thought I'd include a couple I did for my Craft and Chat evening earlier this month. Our Basic White (or Very Vanilla) Notecards and Envelopes are the perfect size to adapt for gift cards -  and I had fun sharing them with everyone on our Zoom call.  They are so quick - simply trim about 1" off the 5" side, fold on the score line, add some DSP to the top panel, then decorate the front panel as you like. Use your Tear and Tape to fasten the pocket down and you are ready to pop in your gift card. Add some DSP to your envelope, emboss the back flap or stamp one of the smaller images on a corner of the envelope - it adds a fun bit to your gift!

Do you send gift cards? I know it's the perfect way to give gifts to those who are far away and I try to personalize the gift card holders so they are special to each recipient. Here's another one from my Zoom Craft and Chat using Tidings of Christmas DSP and Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. 

If you need any products, I'd love to help you shop or you can go directly to my online store by clicking this link and getting orders sent directly to you! Use my current Host Code W2DSCW4M to get in my monthly draws for Host Rewards - if your order is over $200 before shipping/taxes don't use the code as you will earn your own rewards!

Sunday Share - Card Ideas From My Card Kits for The Wesbrooke

 I haven't shared the card kits that I make up for The Wesbrooke Seniors Residence for quite awhile. I'm so happy to be able to do the kits with my ladies again although we are still using lots of precautions as none of us want to get sick . . . 

The first cards are some "Welcome" cards for new residents - it's such a special way to let them know they are part of The Wesbrooke family!

Birthdays are another special occasion and each person has their birthday recognized on their day with a card made by the ladies who craft with me. 

Use these ideas for making some quick cards for yourself so you always have some ready to send . . . no need to make a quick trip to the dollar store when you can put together one of these cards with a few supplies and minimal tools. I don't always use current products for these card kits but you can ask me for the supply list if you aren't sure!

I share projects on my Zoom events each month - check my newsletters for details and join me. If you aren't on my newsletter list, you can sign up here with my pop-up or send me a quick email and if you need any supplies, my website is open 24/7 to shop anytime.  I also put in group orders for local pickups at least a twice a month so check with me if you want to place your order that way! Use this link to shop online and please use my current Host Code W2DSCW4M so I can track your orders and you might be in the draw for shared Host Rewards!

Reminder we have our Join Now special going on until November 30th so you can be a budget shopper all the time - the "try it" kit is only $100 (regularly $135) and you can get up tp $165 in product of your choice! What a great deal - here's my link for more information on my site.

I want to thank each of you for being part of my small business and supporting me - I earned these badges of recognition at our Annual OnStage@Home Conference last week (held virtually) and it wouldn't have happened without all of you!

Until next time - Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Walking On The Wild Side!

 

I'm changing topics up today to share one of the fun sets in the Annual Catalogue that is perfect for safari adventures, or for birthdays that will bring a smile.  Take a look . . .

Take a walk on the wild side of creativity with the In The Wild Suite. Orange tigers, white tigers, or Tiger team mascots are just the beginning of the purr-fectly fun projects you can create with this suite.

The In the Wild Designer Series Paper from the suite features rich, bold colours so this card tutorial takes a unique look at the softer side of this suite.

I took a break this past week from Holiday themed projects while I attended a three day online event with Stampin' Up! instead of their usual in person conferences. It was so well done - all the workshops were inspiring and the demos from fellow demonstrators around the world with new products in the coming Spring Mini made me wish for a way bigger budget! If you ordered from me in the past year, watch for your new Spring Mini and Sale-a-Bration flyer in the mail near the end of December!! 

Happy Stamping!

Sunday Share - Peaceful Place Suite For Cards and Layouts Too!

 

PEACEFUL CABIN SUITE

A cabin in a snowy meadow, surrounded by trees, is about as iconic of a peaceful scene as I can imagine. It reminds me of our log cabin growing up that was north of Montreal - but it was too snowed in to get to in winter! With the Peaceful Place Suite you'll have all the elements for creating cards, scrapbook pages, and more with beautiful, wintery landscapes.

The Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper features a lovely, soft monochrome style with silver accents that are perfect for elegant and natural looks. The Peaceful Cabin stamp set is a DistINKtive set, which means it creates detailed, shaded images. You'll love creating with this set for the holidays and the winter months that follow.

The tutorial below features a diorama-style, that layers down to the focal image, instead of up like most cards we create. I think you'll love creating and sending this beautiful card.

Check my post from yesterday if you want to get a great deal on a starter kit - only $100 for $165 in products that you choose! Check off your wish list in one great kit order! And get discounts on all your orders as long as you decide to stay on! I'd love to have you on my team 😉

Happy Stamping!

TIPS: The Peaceful Cabin stamp set is a special stamp design called DistINKtive(TM) by Stampin' Up! DistINKtive stamps are designed to give a detailed, shaded, 3D-like effect. An ink pad with too much ink will create a blotchy, blobby image with these stamps. This is a real case of less is more. Use a Bone Folder or the back of a plastic spoon to push the ink away from the center of the ink pad and towards the edges. Then ink and stamp.
