You’re the BEST

Welcome in, everyone! Glad to see you today. We’ve had quite the string of crazy weather this week. We go from sunshine to gully washer in no time flat. Yesterday, we got over 7 inches of rain at our house in about 2 hours! It was crazy and there were all kinds of street and road closures for quite some time as we had to wait for all of that water to dissipate. Thus far, we’re off to a dry start, but we do have more rain in the forecast today.

This week, it’s all about the gifty goodies as I’m preparing for a big craft fair this weekend. And I’m always looking for ways to dress up a gift card gift, aren’t you? Today’s fun fold design comes from our Luv 2 Stamp Group fearless leader, Patty Bennett. I’m calling this the dutch door gift card holder. We’re using the Lovely Blossoms paper and a few new stamp sets to create this fun gift.

We get started with a base of Cloud Cover cardstock. The backdrop is the Secret Sea diamond pattern sheet from the Lovely Blossoms paper pack. And I used a leftover strip of the Cloud Cover striped pattern from the pack to create the accent strip to break up the busy pattern. The sentiment panel is a combination of Cloud Cover and Secret Sea glimmer paper that are cut out with the Branching Out dies. The sentiment is from the new Words & Wishes stamp set. The sentiment panel is wrapped in gold & white baker’s twine. And I added some In Color and Moody Palette dots for pops of color.

The inside of our card has a nice big message panel with a combination of sentiments from the Scalloped Blossoms & BBQ Master stamp sets. I repeated the diamond pattern paper for the small panel and for the gift card pocket. And a few Moody Palette dots tie the outside and inside of the card together. TIP: to make the gift card easier to slip out of the pocket, add a ribbon pull like I did here.

I really love this gift card design because it comes together in a flash. If you’re interested in whipping up a few on your own, you can download the free PDF tutorial here!

Today’s card is a part of the Luv 2 Stamp Group Instagram Hop, which goes live at 9 AM Pacific Time (PST). Click here to head over to my Instagram feed at 9 AM Pacific/11 AM Central and check out what the other demos in our L2S Group have created for you today!
