Frosted Gingerbread Gift Card Holder

Frosted Gingerbread Gift Card Holder

It’s that time of year! It’s gift-giving time. We buy a lot of gift cards. So, we need a special, hand-stamped holder for them.

I love this particular design. It fits perfectly in one of Stampin’ Up!’s medium envelopes.

I’m loving the Candy Canes background stamp from Stampin’ Up!’s July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. See this blog post for a host of other fun card samples.

For this card above, I:

  • sprinkled White Embossing Powder over the image
  • heated it with the heat gun
  • die cut with a scallop rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies
  • layered it on Basic White card stock embossed with the Star-Crossed Embossing Folder
  • Adhered it to a piece of Real Red card stock
  • Stamped the sentiment with Real Red ink and used dimensionals to pop it up on the front of the card
  • Added my very favorite Red Rhinestones
