I recently returned from Stampin’ Up!’s incentive trip to Maui! What a treat! The weather was beautiful, and the company spoiled the earners and their guests. I truly thank all of my friends, customers, team, and supportive husband for this awesome opportunity.
The event focuses mainly on relaxing, recharging, and connecting with other demonstrators. We didn’t have any planned stamping events, but we did exchange swap cards. To participate, I made 26 of one card. (See my card here.)
Then, we receive 25 different cards back! It’s so fun to see the variety of ideas presented by other demonstrators. (Review the video of the cards I received here. Hint: the card showcase takes place near the end of the video.)
Expressions in Ink Gift Card Holder
I really liked a card I received from Selene Kempton; it doubles as a gift card holder. I changed up the Designer Series Paper and the sentiment to make it my own.
Dimensions to cut the card stock, working from the top down:
4 1/4 x 2 3/4 — your choice of Designer Series Paper
4 1/2 x 3 — colored coordinating card stock
7 1/2 x 4 3/4, scored at 1 inch and 4 1/4 inches — white “base”
5 1/4 x 3 3/4 — colored coordinating card stock mat
1 x 4 3/4 — Designer Series Paper for the inside trim piece
Gift Card Holder Inside
Be sure to watch the following video for a visual look at how this unique gift card holder goes together.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in Mesa, Arizona, I love helping people discover their creativity through both in-person classes, weekly Facebook live demonstrations, and video tutorials. Please let me know how I can help you with your paper crafting journey.

For this post, I feature the Hats Off stamp set and the Hat Builder Dies available in Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. This awesome bundle attracted me right away. My husband’s family lives and breathes baseball! I see me creating a host of birthday cards for the entire family for years to come.
Hats Off Father’s Day Card
Look for the Hats Off Bundle on page 47. Buy the stamp set and die cuts together and save 10 percent.
This card measures 4 1/4 inches x 4 1/4 inches. I love that it still fits in one of Stampin’ Up!’s basic white envelopes. It also features the paper piecing technique. What is the technique?
I stamped the hat with Night of Navy ink onto both Real Red card stock and Night of Navy card stock and die cut both pieces. Then, with a Paper Snip, I trimmed off the bill of the Night of Navy hat and glued it on top of the Real Red.
To add a little texture to the hat, just like a real one, I ran the hat piece through the Textured Textiles 3D Embossing Folder.
This card also uses the heat embossing technique. I heat embossed the sentiment white powder onto Real Red card stock and die cut with the coordinating piece.
Just think of how you can customize this hat for the team of your choice! You can add letters or images to make it your own.
