I used the Gift Wrapped Bundle (Gift Wrapped stamp set and Gift Bow Builder Punch) to make today’s project. It’s a Christmas card with a surprise pop-up gift card holder inside. I also used the Label My Fancy punch, Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper, and Playful Pets Designer Series Paper to create the wrapped gift on the front of the card. This is one of the cards we made in my November Stamp Club gathering. We used the Gift Wrapped bundle to make 3 cards, and I will share the other two here on my blog this week.

Here’s what I made:
I didn’t have a gift card to use for the photo, so I used an old hotel key card, just to show how it fits in the holder.

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Garden Green card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″

- inner sentiment in Real Red ink onto the Whisper White CS for the inside

Cut using the Gift Bow Builder Punch:
Cut using the Label Me Fancy Punch:
- the outer sentiment, so that it was toward the right end of the label
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base, and all the folds in the Real Red CS pieces, with a Bone Folder
- DSP strips adhered onto the SP layer using Stampin’ Seal
- SP layer adhered onto the front of the card base using Stampin’ Seal applied behind the DSP strips so they don’t show through the SP

- outer sentiment adhered below the bow using Stampin’ Seal
- the 1/4″ section of each Real Red CS piece glued onto the inside of the opposite side, to form two skinny open-ended boxes

I used the Don’t Stop Believin’ stamp set and Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to decorate these Mini Coffee Cups and Mini Coffee Holder. This is a great way to give a gift of hot cocoa, K-Cups, or any small gifts. I think this elf all tangled up on Christmas lights is adorable. Actually, I think everything in this stamp set is adorable. Don’t you?

S Don’t Stop Don’t Stop Don’t Stop Don’t Stop
Here’s what I made:
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Real Red card stock (CS) cut to 5-3/4″ x 2-1/4″ (2 pieces)
- Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5-1/2″ x 2″ (2 pieces)
- Real Red CS cut to 2-3/4″ x 2-1/4″ (2 pieces)
- DSP cut to 2-1/2″ x 2″ (2 pieces)
- DSP cut to 1-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ (2 pieces)
- Whisper White Thick CS cut to 3″ x 5/16″
Cut using Paper Snips:
- laid the coffee holder on its side and traced around the handle onto the back of the DSP strips
- cut around the traced shapes using Paper Snips, then cut about 1/8″ off the long straight side with my Paper Trimmer
- You could lay the holder over the strip so that the straight side of the handle extends 1/8″ past the edge of the DSP strip. That will keep you from having to trim off the 1/8″ afterward.
Stamped with the Don’t Stop Believin’ stamp set:
- elf in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- sentiment in Real Red ink onto the Whisper White Thick CS strip
- NOTE: You may find it easier to stamp the sentiment onto a larger piece of CS, then cut it down to 5/16″.
Cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies:
Cut using the Warm Wraps Dies:
- DSP (plaid pattern) for the cups (4 pieces)
Cut using the Classic Label Punch:
- both ends of the sentiment, by inserting the strip into the back of the punch
Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:
- elf in Real Red, Just Jade, and Ivory
- NOTE: I intended to use Old Olive, but for some reason picked up Just Jade instead. I didn’t realize until it was all done.
- elf’s cheeks in Flirty Flamingo
- elf’s hair in Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody
- lights in Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Just Jade, and Seaside Spray
- to color the light string, I used the small end of a Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker
Assembled the card:
- burnished the folds in the coffee holder with a Bone Folder, and folded it to assemble
- larger DSP layer glued onto the larger Real Red CS layers
- smaller DSP layer glued onto the smaller Real Red CS layers
- DSP strips glued onto the handles of the holder
- all Real Red CS layer glued onto the sides of the holder
- elf glued onto one side of the holder, near the handle
- sentiment adhered using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals onto the DSP layer and overlapping the elf
- ends of 2 die cut pieces of plaid DSP glued together to create a cup wrap, then the same done with the other 2 pieces
- wraps slipped onto the cups, from the bottom
