Bash My Stash: Christmas Tag Gift Card Holder Freebie

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.



I'm finishing up my holiday preparations and quickly put together a couple of the Christmas Tag Gift Card Holders by Printable Cuttable Creatables.

I imported the file into Cricut Design Space and resized it to make a large tag.  I have a couple of certificates that aren't standard gift card size.  The finished tag is approximately 6" tall by 3" wide.  I added the rectangle so I would have a piece to stamp on since the Recollections patterned paper is very busy.

Since I am still working on bashing my stash, I used an old stamp from SU All Year Cheer II and some stickers that I have had since the early 2000's. I also used up some old embossing powder that I've had for at least 15 years, not my favourite as far a quality goes but the colour was right for this project.   The ribbon is SU Whisper White.

These will hang from the tree until my kids get here to open gifts on Christmas Day.

I might even make a couple more in a standard gift card size if I have time - they are perfect for gift card giving year round.

Santa Gift Card Holder by Jamie Lane Designs

My final gift card holder for this Holiday Season.   This gift card holder will be used to hold a card that is part of a larger gift and not just a stocking stuffer so I decided to make a small box and will tuck it into the branches of our Christmas Tree.

I found this design by Jamie Cripps in the Silhouette Design Store.  There is a tutorial on her blog that was helpful for putting it together.

I used Recollections cardstock and sponged the white cardstock with CTMH Whisper Exclusive Inks™to give it a bit of a shadow effect.  Then after threading the belt buckle onto the belly band I added some shine to it using my CTMH Clear Shimmer Brush.

My Scrap Chick has a gift card insert available as a freebie right now (Dec 23 & 24) that will fit in the bottom of the box to keep the card from sliding around.

Popcorn Gift Card Holder by Lori Whitlock

Here's another cute gift card holder using a file from the Silhouette store and designed by Lori Whitlock - perfect for movie passes.  I used Recollections cardstock and sponged the popcorn kernels with my CTMH Canary Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad.

These will go into my kid's Christmas Stockings, I like doing gift cards but they can be a bit boring so I wanted to dress them up and this file was perfect.

Christmas Kisses Gift Card Holder by Lori Whitlock

Here's the first project I've made with my Silhouette Portrait using the Christmas Kisses Gift Card Holder by Lori Whitlock.

 

It fits a standard size gift card and five Kisses perfectly.

The sentiment is a print and cut and I had some Recollections cardstock with a holly print that I thought would be a great match. 

I folded all the tabs in then folded the card top-down and bottom-up and used double sided tape on the tabs. 

I adhered the gift card holder and sentiment pieces first.

Then folded the bottom box in towards the line created by the edge of the gift card holder. 

There is a solid piece at the back for writing on and a decorative strip to fill in the space below. 

The SVG file is available in Lori Whitlock's Store or in the Silhouette Design Store as a .studio file.

Last Craft Fair of 2014

I did my last craft fair for 2014 last weekend at the Murrayville Hall, just down the street from my house.  I had some handmade items available for sale this time. The first fair that I did there was in November and my tendinitis had flared up so I wasn't able to make much beforehand.

Love the ideas I see on Pinterest.  I was able to make up some bottle toppers and gift card holders to sell along with some cards that I had made before the craft fair I attended at the end of November.

Close to My Heart Artiste Cartridge - Boxes & Gift Card Holder

Had fun making these boxes & a gift card holder with my Artiste cartridge for a craft fair that I was at last weekend.

This little tree box would be perfect for holding some candy or small gift item.

I used the Snowhaven cardstock for the gift card holder.  The stampset is from the Snowhaven Workshop on the Go Cardmaking Kit.  I cut the patterened strip from the top of the sheet of cardstock and used it to keep the card closed. 

Here it is opened with a gift card in the inner pocket. I cut it at 5" Real Dial Size. 

Here's a Christmas Cracker - I cut it at the recommended size in the handbook. 

Love this snowflake box.  It folds almost flat so would be good for small items or a gift card.
