How many days until Christmas? I’m not counting yet! But I do know I give a lot of gift cards. That’s where gift card holders come in handy.
Today’s project features a gift card holder that doubles as a greeting card. It fits in one of Stampin’ Up!’s regular envelopes. And it is so easy to make.
Here are the measurements beginning from the top down for the Peaceful Place Gift Card Holder:
Basic White: 1/2 inch x 3 (sentiment)
Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper: 4 1/4 x 2 3/4
White Base: 7 1/2 x 4 3/4, scored at 1 inch and 4 1/4 inch
Black Back: 5 1/4 x 3 3/4
DSP for inside piece: 1 x 4 3/4
The holder also uses the Evergreen Border Punch found in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog and the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set offered in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog,
I made a few other samples that fit well for other occasions.

I grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, and spent most of my life in the Midwest. Fall always brought the changing colors of the trees and leaves, offering gorgeous views. Since moving to Arizona more than two years ago, fall looks a little different. We still see a few color variations, but not as brilliant as I’m used to.
Even though I don’t experience a “traditional” fall, I still love to create cards and projects commemorating the season that follows summer. For this card, I used Stampin’ Up!’s Picture This Dies in conjunction with the Banner Year Stamp Set.
Picture This Dies Fall Card
This set of two dies offers a unique way to use our rubber stamps. I’ve had so much fun filling the spaces with a variety of images and sentiments. See this post for a variety of other card using the die set.
For me, the Banner Year Stamp Set works perfectly. I can showcase the smaller images, and it covers Halloween, fall, winter, and Christmas.
In addition, I also used the Timber Embossing Folder and a variety of ink pads to create this fun, fall card. Look for a list of supplies at the end of this post.
Also, be sure to watch the video below to see how this card came together.

My card features a host of products and a fun technique, most importantly the rubbing alcohol and Stampin’ Blends technique. I love the results this technique produces. See this additional blog post for other examples of this.
Rubbing Alcohol and Stampin’ Blends Technique
Here are some basic directions to achieve this cool background.
Scribble or color with your choice of Stampin’ Blends on a piece of Stampin’ Up!’s vellum.
Pour some 91 percent Isopropyl Alcohol into a small container.
Dip a paint brush into the alcohol and drip and/or touch the liquid to the colored markings.
Watch it do its magic or use a straw or your breath to move the colors around.
Let it dry.
Once the vellum is dry, I adhere a piece of Stampin’ Up!’s Adhesive Sheets to the back of the vellum.
I remove the adhesive backing and attach it to a piece of card stock. The example above shows Basic White.
For today’s card, I die cut the piece with a layer from the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
Use the piece any way you like!

I also used a few other products to complete this design:
Here’s a quick video to help you understand the process.

Stampin’ Up!’s Stamparatus, a stamp positioning tool, makes stamping easier for a number of reasons. It helps you:
get your images and sentiments straight, time after time;
re-stamp an image if it’s not dark enough;
stamp repeat images evenly; and
handle the stamping process smoothly, especially if you have arthritic or weak hands.
And, it lends itself well to some fun techniques, including the mirror image technique. It’s the technique that allows the two sheep to look at each other in the card above.
I used that technique on today’s card with one of the sheep stamps from Stampin’ Up!’s Counting Sheep stamp set. This set and its coordinating Sheep Dies are available during SaleABration — through September 30, 2021. Earn each of these products free with a minimum purchase of $50 (before tax and shipping) for each.
See this post for a variety of other card ideas using these fun, exclusive, and limited-time products.
Be sure to watch the video below to view a visual of how this technique works.
