Coffee Cup Gift Card Holders (Waffle Flower)

Hello friends! I'm always a fan of shaped gift card holder cards and coffee shaped gift card holder cards are even better! I paired these Waffle Flower Coffee Cup Dies with the Coffee Cup Sentiments Stamp Set with the new patterned papers from Waffle Flower for these bright and happy gift card holders! These fun designs are quick and easy to put together and the gorgeous patterned paper colors make the creation of these cards even easier! Let's get started!

V I D E O T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of these shaped gift card holders from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

How beautiful are these patterns? The addition of patterned paper make the assembly so easy. No extra background stamping. Yay! I used the Waffle Flower Half Half Lines Botanical and Half Half Lines Enchanted paper pads for my cards.

To create the base of the coffee cup shaped gift card holder, a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" sheet of paper was scored and folded in half and die cut with a Waffle Flower Coffee Cup Die. The front of each coffee cup was adorned with die cut Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Labels Strips die cut from solid Waffle Flower Half Half Lines Botanical and Half Half Lines Enchanted papers.

The label image from the Coffee Cup Sentiments Stamp Set for the front of each coffee cup was stamped on smooth white cardstock with black dye ink. The image was die cut with the coordinating Waffle Flower Coffee Cup Die and adhered over the rainbow strips as shown. A red die cut heart was adhered to the center of each label.

The back of each coffee cup was stamped with text from the Coffee Cup Sentiments Stamp Set and a check mark! I love how every aspect of this shaped card has a fun, decorative touch!

The lid was die cut twice from black cardstock using the Waffle Flower Coffee Cup Dies and stamped with a greeting from the Coffee Cup Sentiments Stamp Set using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. This sentiment tells the recipient that there's a little something inside!

The gift card insert was die cut from solid Waffle Flower Half Half Lines Botanical paper and the "lids" adhered to both the front and back of the design. Additional sentiments from the Coffee Cup Sentiments Stamp Set were stamped the insert.

To finish the design, Glossy Accents was applied to the die cut heart on each card.

Honey Bee Stamps | Stocking Gift Card Holders

This week the Honey Bee Design Team is showcasing Clean & Simple ideas for mass producing for the holidays! I created a set of four Stocking Gift Card Holders featuring lots of new (plus some previously released) Honey Bee Stamps products. I absolutely adore the Honey Bee shaped cards and think you will too!

The Stocking Gift Card Holder body of the stockings were die cut from Holiday Traditions Patterned Paper and assembled back to back. You will need to panels to create the body of the stocking. *Pro tip: Remember to cut the stocking back the opposite of how you cut the front so they go together! The gift card insert, topper, and toe & heel were die cut from either Hero Hues Cranberry Cardstock or Simon Says Stamp Slate Cardstock. Toe and heels were adhered to the patterned paper stocking. The topper was glued to the top of the gift card insert.

I stamped "pull me" and an arrow from the One-Of-A-Kind Stamp Set on the top of each stocking with clear embossing ink and heat embossed these with white embossing powder. I love how this tells the recipient this card does something! This stamp set is a great one to have on hand if you love interactive cards.

Wreaths were created for the front of each stocking using the Joy Noel Wreath Dies. The wreath was die cut from Hero Hues Chestnut Cardstock and Hero Hues Palm Cardstock and assembled as shown and then glued to the front of a stocking. Instead of die cutting berries, I adhered red Holiday Traditions Crystal Gems to the wreath for a touch of sparkle and dimension.

The bow from the Joy Noel Wreath was die cut from red cardstock and shaded with R46 and R59 Copic Markers, assembled, and glued to the wreath.

A tag was die cut from smooth white cardstock using a Gift Bag Card and stamped with a greeting from the Love, Santa Stamp Set. The heart in the word "love" was colored with a red marker. The tag was tied to the top of the stocking with twine.

Gift cards can be easily adhered to the insert with glue dots (and they are easily removed!).

Lawn Fawn | Critter Huggers Shaped Valentines with Matching Tiny Gift Boxes

Hello friends! I'm so very excited about my project share today. Last year I created THESE winter woodland critter huggers shaped gift card holders and they were one of my favorite projects of 2018. With a few tweaks, different accessories, and Valentines sentiments, these cuties work as Valentines cards, too! In addition to the shaped gift card holder cards, these critters are holding their matching Tiny Gift Boxes adorned with the Tiny Gift Box Fox and Raccoon Add Ons!

V I D E O T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of these critter huggers shaped Valentines cards and matching tiny gift boxes from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

Each card was created by scoring and folding a 2.5" x 11 piece of cardstock in half and die cutting the Woodland Critter Hugger off the top of the card. By making sure the ears didn't cut all the way through the card, you create a critter shaped card base. I trimmed the arms off each critter.

The critters were die cut from cardstock using the Woodland Critter Huggers Dies and assembled as shown.

Hair bows were die cut from patterned paper using the bow from the Tiny Gift Box and assembled before being adhered to the top of each head. Honey Bee Stamps Acrylic Ice hearts were adhered to the center of each bow.

Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were applied to the cheeks on the critters.

Glossy Accents was added to the noses and eyes of the critters for gloss and shine.

Tiny Gift Boxes and the Tiny Gift Box Fox and Raccoon Add Ons were die cut from cardstock and assembled as shown. Bows from the add on set were die cut from patterned paper and adhered to both ears on the gift box critters!

The gift box was secured to the front of each critter shaped card. Tuck some treats inside the box and a gift card inside the card! Two gifts in one!

The pocket from the Stitched Gift Card Pocket was die cut from the same cardstock color as the card base and adhered to the inside of each card. A sentiment from the How You Bean Conversation Heart Add On was stamped inside each card on the pocket. Hearts from the Heart Treat Box Dies were die cut from both patterned paper and cardstock and adhered below the stamped and embossed greeting. This is where you'll tuck a gift card!

A heart and arrow from the Stitched Heart Envelope Die Set and a heart from the Tiny Gift Box Fox and Raccoon Add Ons were adhered to the back of each card to finish off the backside as cute as the front!

Honey Bee Stamps | Valentines Coffee Shaped Cards Gift Card Holders

I can't get enough of Valentines-themed projects. If you've followed me for awhile y'all probably know this about me already! Today I'm sharing a some quick and easy coffee-themed gift card holders that are made simple with patterned papers, lots of awesome Honey Bee Stamps dies and some quick stamping. If you are giving a Starbucks or local coffee/tea shop gift card this Valentine's Day, these shaped cards add that special touch that the recipient will fall in love with!

V I D E O T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of these valentines coffee shaped cards gift card holders from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

I used various Doodlebug patterned papers from my stash for my projects today. Most of these have been in my stash for years. I've linked to similar Doodlebug patterned papers in the supply list below or use whatever you have on hand. Patterned papers make this project so fast and easy!

I used both the Honey Bee Frappe Card and the Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder for my gift card holders today. The Coffee Cup Card Dies, Mason Jar Card Dies, or Donut Card Dies would also make fantastic shaped Valentines cards.

I'm a huge fan of both the Stacking Hearts Dies and Scalloped Hearts Dies. These make lots of sizes of layered hearts perfect for all kinds of paper crafting and decor projects. The Bee Bold Numeric Dies and Bee Bold Alphabet Dies are the perfect addition to the centers of the hearts on the coffee shaped cards.

Honey Bee acrylic hearts were the perfect small love-themed accents for the cards.

Greetings from the Perfect Blend Stamp Set and Foxy Sentiments Stamp Set were used to adorn the fronts and insides of both cards.

The vellum pocket for the Frappe Card was created with the Gift Card Pocket and vellum.

These sweet cards are all ready for some gift cards! Looking for more shaped coffee-themed card ideas?

I'm back with my fifth year of last minute handmade ideas! Five years, you guys. Wow. Thank you so much for your support of this series. I have been overwhelmed and almost considered not doing the series this year but I kept getting emails and comments asking for it so I sat down to make a list of projects I could do and I got really excited. So this series is for you crafting friends. I appreciate each and every one of you and y'all make this possible. Much love to everyone.

The goal of this series is adding handmade touches to gifts for our friends and family. Even with the craziness of the season I like to be able to personalize the gifts under our tree. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be sharing mostly quick (an hour or less) Handmade Holiday ideas for cards, tags and gift wrapping sure to add that handmade touch we all love. Most ideas will include multiples (today I created 3 stenciled gift bags with monogram tags)!

Each Handmade Holiday project blog post will feature a brand new, never before seen project(s) plus an incredible giveaway from a generous sponsor!

STENCILED GIFT BAGS WITH MONOGRAM TAGS

Today I'm sharing some stenciled and embellished gift bags with monogrammed tags created by mixing and matching dies from several sets for these simple, yet elegant gift bags. These bags would be perfect for giving a gift card or other small, flat gift. Monograms are one of my favorite ways to customize a tag!

Today's post is in conjunction with Honey Bee Stamps 12 Days of Christmas Event where you will get to see daily inspiration from twelve designers, receive daily discounts on the products that they used & HBS will do a drawing from the comments on their blog for a winner of one stamp set that the designer used. (I have a giveaway on my blog, too!) Lots of chances to win and save today!

To watch the creation of these stenciled gift bags with monogram tags from start to finish, click HERE or watch below:

The Gift Bag Card die was used to die cut red cardstock for each bag. I cut two panels for each bag. The bags were stenciled with one of the Plaid Background Stencils and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. Once each side of the bag was inked, adhesive was applied to the tabs on one side of the bag and the gift bag was adhered together as shown.

Labels for the front of each bag were die cut from both black cardstock and white glitter cardstock using the Truly Great Friends Die. On the inside black cardstock rectangle sentiments from the Fa La La Stamp Set were stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The "ho ho ho" sentiment from the Fa La La Dies was die cut from white glitter cardstock adhered to Fun Foam with Stick It Adhesive and adhered above the stamped and embossed sentiment.

The label was adhered to the front of the bag and both the black cardstock scallop frame and white glitter cardstock frame were adhered around the rectangle to finish the label.

The circle tag from the Gift Bag Card Dies was die cut from smooth white cardstock. Monograms were die cut from red glitter cardstock using the Bee Bold Alphabet Dies and adhered to each tag as shown. Holly leaves from the Threshold Card Dies were die cut from green cardstock and adhered to each tag. Red sequins finish the holly and berries next to each monogram.

Ribbon handles were added to each bag and the tags were tied to the handles with crochet thread. Each bag was finished with a "tissue paper" insert created by die cutting the Gift Bag Card die using woodgrain vellum.

Simon Says Stamp | Under the Sea Animals (Set of 6 cards)

Hello friends! Building a background that ties a scene card all together is almost more important than the focal point of a design. For this set of six cards today, I switched up the greeting (two different styles) and only added two adorable stamped, colored, and die cut images from the Under the Sea Animals Stamp Set for my cards. Even though the images are a minimal, the backgrounds are the real scene stealers here because they showcase the adorable fish perfectly!

I made these cards for the four senior swimmers on my daughter's high school swim team and for the two coaches. The girls on the team signed the cards for the seniors and coaches and presented them to them with a gift at the end of season swim team banquet.

For the backgrounds, I stenciled Blueprint Sketch and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Inks through the Simon Says Stamp Waves Stencil directly onto smooth white cardstock. After lifting the stencil, I took the ink blending tools and without re-inking, I went over the stenciled design lightly to completely cover the "ocean". I spritzed the backgrounds with water from a Distress Sprayer and let the oxidation create the illusion of bubbles! So easy and so effective for an ocean scene card!

Greetings from the Simon Says Stamp Under the Sea Animals Stamp Set and Your Next Stamp Sports Fanatic Two Stamp Set were stamped on each background. Fish from the Simon Says Stamp Best Fishes Stamp Set were stamped on the background to give the illusion of depth and dimension.

The backgrounds were die cut with a Mama Elephant Dotted Detail Frame Die to remove a thin frame from each background. A new thin frame was die cut from smooth white cardstock to replace the frame for an inlay style background. This is one of my favorite ways to create an instant frame and not lose the look and feel of the background.

Images from the Under the Sea Animals Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Jet Black Ink, colored in with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating dies before being adhered to each scene card as shown.

The Simon Says Stamp Painted Grad Die was die cut from Aqua Glitter Cardstock adhered to Fun Foam with Stick It adhesive and adhered to four of the cards as shown.

I die cut a Lawn Fawn Gift Card Pop Up and adhered it inside the two coaches cards.

Black and white gel pens were used to add detail to the eyes on the fish.

Handmade Holiday 2017 | Picture Book Gift Card Holders + GIVEAWAY

Welcome to Day 3 of my last minute Handmade Holiday 2017 Series!

I'm back with my fourth year of last minute handmade ideas! Even with the craziness of the season I like to be able to add handmade touches to gifts for our friends and family. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be sharing mostly quick (an hour or less) Handmade Holiday ideas for cards, tags and gift wrapping sure to add that handmade touch we all love. Most ideas will include multiples (today I created two gift card holder cards)!

Each Handmade Holiday project blog post will feature a brand new, never before seen project(s) plus an incredible giveaway from a generous sponsor!

PICTURE BOOK GIFT CARD HOLDER CARDS & ENVELOPES

Broken China Distress Oxide Ink was applied to Bristol Smooth Cardstock using an Ink Blending Tool and a light hand. I spritzed the background with water from a Distress Sprayer and blotted it dry with a paper towel.

A border was die cut from Noble Fir Cardstock using the Pine Needle Border Die and stamped with a greeting from the Christmas Squad Stamp Set using embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The border was adhered to the bottom of the inked background as shown.

The Picture Books Secret Penguin, Picture Book Snowman, Picture Book Deer, and Picture Book Polar Bear were die cut from smooth white, Black Licorice, Chili Pepper, Peacock, Canned Pumpkin, Vanilla Malt, Chocolate Bar, Paper Bag, Blue Jay, and Noble Fir cardstocks and assembled and adhered to the card as shown.

Mini hearts were die cut from Chili Pepper and adhered to the design to finish the front of the card.

Nuvo Crystal Glaze was applied to the eyes, noses, and hearts.

For the inside of the card I used a Basic Rectangle and Gift Card Slots Die to create a gift card pocket from Lawn Fawn Mermaid Cardstock. The Picture Book Happy Penguin was die cut and assembled on the inside pocket along with some red Mini hearts. Nuvo Crystal Glaze was applied to the eyes, nose, and hearts.

A greeting from the Merry and Bright Stamp Set was stamped on a Metallic Green Envelope with embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Handmade Holiday 2017 | Vellum & Yeti Favor Bags + GIVEAWAY

Welcome to Day 2 of my last minute Handmade Holiday 2017 Series!

Each Handmade Holiday project blog post will feature a brand new, never before seen project(s) plus an incredible giveaway from a generous sponsor!

VELLUM & YETI FAVOR BAGS

The bases of each Favor Bag were created by die cutting vellum using the Favor Bag Die. Each favor bag base was stamped with snowflake images from the Holly's Snowflakes Stamp Set using StazOn Cotton White Ink. A stitched rectangle was die cut from smooth white cardstock using a Favor Bag Die and adhered to the inside of the favor bags. I assembled the bags using 1/4" Scor Tape.

The yeti and hat from Me and My Yeti and a banner from Sentiments From Yeti were stamped on smooth white cardstock using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink, colored in with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating Me and My Yeti Dies and Sentiments From Yeti Dies.

The bursting through panel was die cut from Lawn Fawn Chili Pepper Cardstock using the stitched scallop rectangle from the Favor Bag Die and the Pretty Pink Posh Peek-A-Boo die. The Peek-A-Boo die is a favorite for creating that "bursting through" effect that instantly adds a touch of fun to a project!

Greetings from the Sentiments From Yeti was stamped below the Peek-A-Boo opening using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The Peek-A-Boo was opened up, the yeti adhered to appear to be bursting forth from the opening and then the banner and hat were glued in place. The panel was secured to the front of each favor bag.

Mini tags were die cut from smooth white cardstock using a Favor Bag Die. Greetings from the Mini Messages Stamp Set were stamped on each tag. Ribbon and twine secured the mini tag to the top of each favor bag.
