Coffee Gift Card Holder

Hi All!

Welcome back to my blog. Getting all the Stamp Camp kits ready, it's been busy. You can find the Tidings of Christmas Stamp Camp info here and the Sweet Ice Cream Class here.

This week I'm going to show you a fun card I designed as a thank you for a friend. The cool thing about this card is that there is a spot to put a gift card inside and it's super easy to make. You can do this with almost any card you create.

This card used Brew Some Fun & Nothings Better Than Stamp Sets and the Love You More Than Dies.

The standard (5 1/2" x 8 1/2") base is from Pool Party Cardstock with an Early Espresso Cardstock layer measuring 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". Cut a piece of Pattern Party DSP to 3 3/4" x 5". The strip on the inside is 5/8" x 3 1/4". The Basic White Cardstock piece with coffee stamped on it is 2 1/2" x 3 1/8". You'll also need scraps of white for your greeting and the coffee cups, which were all stamped with my Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad. The word coffee was stamped off once and twice (no full ink.) Stamping off is when you stamp your image on a piece of scrap before your project. With your Pool Party Stampin' Write Marker, colour the solid coffee cup stamp, breath (huff) onto the stamp, and stamp onto your mugs.

Using the Label Me Fancy Punch, punch out your greeting and set it aside. 

After you've stamped your mugs and coffee words, head to your Cut & Emboss Machine. Emboss the coffee words with your Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and cut out the coffee cups. 

For assembly, glue the DSP to the Early Espresso layer. Glue the coffee words piece to the bottom centre of the front of the DSP. Leave some space from the bottom - I had about the same space as the sides. Slide the two 5" strips of Early Espresso 1/4" Faux Suede Trim into the left slot off the greeting and bring it out of the right one. Line up the ribbons to where you want them and tape them down. Attach this piece to the card front. With Stampin' Dimensionals, attach the 3 coffee mugs and stamp the steam directly onto the DSP. (I don't do this before attaching the mugs to make sure they line up okay.) I also stamped a mug outline (with Pool Party Classic Stampin' Pad) on the inside of my card to add that extra touch. 

When you attach the strip for the gift card, make sure you use a strong adhesive like Tear & Tape or Stampin' Seal+. Keep the adhesive within about 3/8" on each edge of the strip. Place it on the left inside of the card about 1/2" and abut 1 1/2" from the bottom. If you have any questions, I'm always happy to help.
