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.

Here’s what I did:
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″
- Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (SP) layer cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Playful Pets Designer Series Paper (DSP) strips cut to 3/4″ x 4″ and 3/4″ x 5-1/4″
- 2 pieces of Real Red CS cut to 3-3/4″ x 3-1/4″, and scored along the shorter side at 3/4″, 1-1/2″. 2-1/4″, and 3″
- Whisper White CS cut to 3-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Gift Wrapped stamp set:
- outer sentiment in Garden Green ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- bow in Real Red ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- inner sentiment in Real Red ink onto the Whisper White CS for the inside
- holly in Garden Green & Real Red beside the inner sentiment – I used Stampin’ Write Markers to color the holly stamp, then huffed on it to reactivate the ink before stamping
Cut using the Gift Bow Builder Punch:
- the bow
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
- bow adhered onto the intersection of the DSP strips using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- 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
- one of the Real Red boxes glued into the corner of the inside of the card base, putting glue along the back and bottom sides of the box
- second Real Red box glued in front of the first one, putting glue along the bottom side of the box
- the two boxes glued together only at the very ends, leaving space between them for the gift card to be tucked down into
- Whisper White CS with inner sentiment glued onto the inside of the card base, in front of the Real Red boxes
