• Fold CS in half and burnish with Bone Folder to create the card base.
• Cut a piece of In Color DSP 5⅜" x 4⅛" and adhere to card base
  
  
• Cut a piece of Very Vanilla CS 4" x 3¼"
• Using the Soft Suede Ink, stamp the large flower from the Calming Camellia stamp set on the piece of Very Vanilla CS.
  
  
• Using the Stampin Blends, color the flower as follows:
• Polished Pink for the flowers blending the light and dark colors
  
• Cranny Apple Green for the leafs blending the light and dark colors
  
• Bronze for the stems
• Bumblebee Marker for the center of the flower
• Wink of Stella for the center of the flower

• Add Dimensionals then adhere the Soft Suede piece with flower to the DSP.
  
• Add Dimensionals then adhere your greeting near the bottom of the card.
  
  
• Using a dinner fork and make a bow.  Wrap the ribbon around the fork, go down thru the center, pull up and back thru the center.  Lay the fork down, taking both ends of the ribbon, tie a knot and pull tight then slide off the fork.  Add a glue dot to the back and adhere to the card .
  
• To put the final touches on the card front, add a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE THESE GIFT CARD HOLDERS

 In this tutorial the name Seal is referring to the use of the new Stampin' Seal

• Cut your 12"x12" DSP at 6" then put both pieces together turn 90˚and cut again at 6" giving you four 6" squares.  Alternate choice is to use any 6"x6" DSP.
• We are going to fold the 6"x6" square corner to opposite corner.  I recommend you score before folding making the corner fold easier to be more perfect.  I used the Diagonal Scoring Plate, which is retired, but there are many ways to score and then fold. If you look close you can see the score line.
  
       
  
   

  

  
  
  
• Burnish with your Bone Folder.
• With the folded points facing up, with the fold along the bottom, take the right folded tip across to the left side forming a horizontal line.
  
  
• Take the left folded tip across to the right, aligning with the horizontal line.
  
• Burnish both folds.
• Pull the top folded point down covering the folds and adhere, creating a pocket for your Gift Card or other goodies.
  
  
• Using the Layering Circle Dies, cut a Real Red or Mossy Meadow 1⅞” Circle and a Basic White 1⅝” Circle.
• Stamp your greeting on the Basic White and adhere to the color CS.
• Add a dimensional to the back of the color CS and adhere your greeting to the front.
  
  
• To add the final touches, place a couple of Holiday Rhinestones to the front.
  
  

 Here is a picture of some of the ones I made.

 

Completed without goodies

Some with Gift Cards, some Chocolate Squares

 

There will be 12 people together for dinner on Christmas Day and I made 12 of these to set on the table, with Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares.

 

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

These are fun and easy to make and can be made in a matter of minutes.
