Holiday Cards that double as Gift Cards w/ LOTS of Texture & Sparkle!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! Larissa here today to share a Set of STUNNING Holiday Cards that hold Gift Cards!! I LOVE being able to give Cards for the Holidays that double as Gift Card Holders and these are going to be ENJOYED by the recipients!! We've been sharing some AMAZING Projects all week as part of the Christmas in July Maker Team Collab Week w/ our Friends at Benzie Design and I hope you've been INSPIRED!!?? I wanted to share 2 different Designs to give you options for ways to include Gift Cards into your Design!! The First Set of Cards uses a FUN Shaker Tag Design and I personally will be creating more of these for my own personally needs!! The Second Set of Cards uses just the Gift Card Holder Tag as the Focal and this is just another option just incase Shaker Cards aren't your Style or you like Quick and Simple!! I started by Foiling the BEAUTIFUL Gina K. Designs Foil-Mates in Holiday Flora using some Deco Foil in Silver Sparkle!! I repeated by Foiling the BEAUTIFUL Gina K. Designs Foil-Mates in Holiday Flora using some Deco Foil in Gold Sparkle!! Next I used the Benzie Design Sparkles & Scallops Gift Tag Die and Die Cut the Tags!! I used the Same Die to Die Cut 4 Tags from Acetate and then I used my Sewing Machine to Sew two of the Acetate Tags together leaving the Top of the Tags open in order for me to add all of the Trinity Stamps Shaker Embellishments!! Then I finished Sewing the Top of the Tag!! SWOON!! I LOVE how these turned out, they are so FESTIVE and FUN to Shake!! Next I wanted to create some Felt Poinsettia's and I wanted to add some Gold Sparkle using the Glitter Dust in Gold!! The Benzie Felt Die Cuts so BEAUTIFULLY and they have so many AMAZING Color options!! I went Traditional using Brick & Rhubarb Wool Blend Felt!! I repeated the process in order to create two more Poinsettia's with Silver Sparkle using the Glitter Dust in Silver!! SWOON!! These finished Poinsettia's turned out so BEAUTIFUL and they would be PERFECT for so many different things for the Holiday Season!! I used Zucchini and Citron Wool Blend Felt for the Leaves and some Dandelion Felt for the Poinsettia Centers!! I finished off the Centers with some Silver and Gold Jingle Bells!! I Die Cut some Blue Cardstock and Embossed it with a 3-D Embossing Folder and then Inked over the Design with some Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I adhered the Foil-Mates Gift Tag and Shaker Gift Tag together using some Gold Metallic Twine and Adhered it to the Card Panel!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto the Mini Gift Tag and adhered it to the Shaker Tag!! Then I adhered the White Seam Binding Bow and the Felt Poinsettia Flower using Adhesive Dots!! I repeated the Process with the Silver Shaker Gift Tag!! Here's a Close up look at the Finished Design!! I've added a Gift Card to the Foil-Mates Tag and the recipient will LOVE the HAPPY Surprise underneath the Shaker Tag!! So FUN Right!!?? I Die Cut some Blue Cardstock and Embossed it with a 3-D Embossing Folder and then Inked over the Design with some Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I adhered the Foil-Mates Gift Tag to the Card Panel after I added the Gold Metallic Twine!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto the Mini Gift Tag and adhered it to the Tag!! Benzie has LOTS of AMAZING Wool Felt Shapes and these Candy Canes are PERFECT for LOTS of uses!! I added a Small Poinsettia and I LOVE the way this turned out!! I was hoping to find a Holiday Themed Gift Card, but this was the best I could do!! I think a Themed Gift Card would be BEAUTIFUL on the Tag and there are different ways you could create the Card around the Design of the Gift Card too!! I repeated the same Process for the Silver Tag and I LOVE how this turned out!! So there you have it a Set of Holiday Cards that Double as Gift Card Holders and are FULL of Sparkle and Texture!! I Hope they INSPIRE you to create some for your Holiday needs and get a start on those Projects you want to create for the Holidays!!
