Hang an Ornament in Gold

I’m back with a Christmas card post after the last brief break with a heart fun fold. (Missed it? Click here to view the post.)

Today’s card features Stampin’ Up!’s Hang an Ornament Bundle in conjunction with the gorgeous Season Elegance 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. I just love the gold accents and swirls in this patterned paper.

Pop-Up Gift Card Holder

I don’t know the official count of how many days are left until Christmas. But, I do know, I should start to prepare!

Gift cards have become popular present options. And, it’s nice to have a fun wrapping mechanism for them. A look at Pinterest shows so many gift card holders in an array of designs. Today, I show you one of those: a pop-up gift card holder.

Here’s what the inside looks like:

Here are a few measurements to help you get started:

  • Real Red card stock measuring 4 1/4 x 10, Score at 2, 5, 6, and 7, 1 inch x 7 inches
  • Designer Series Paper: two pieces measuring 1 3/4 x 4 and two pieces measuring 2 3/4 x 4. I used the Take a Bow 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.
  • For the sentiment, I used the Season’s Greetings from the Greetings of the Season stamp set. I die cut it with a circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies and layered it on Real Red and Garden Green circles.

Pop-Up Gift Card Holder Video

Be sure to watch this video from my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, where I offer step-by-step instructions for creating this gift card holder. In addition, I show several variations and options.
