Stampin' Up! Sunday Swap Day! Giftcards Galore!
December 28, 2013
Hey there! Hope you are enjoying the time between Christmas and New Year's. We have our nephew, Nathan, and his sweet wife, Laura Beth, with us from Murfreesboro, TN, for a few days, so we are enjoying their visit!
After showing you all of the Christmas gift card holders, I still have a few non-Christmas ones left. Today's post is all about gift card holders!
This first one was created with the Monstermaniacs stamp set( #134972 $14.95):
Monstermaniacs is not shown in any catalog, but you can download the flyer with all of the zany images here:

The Pop 'n Cuts Bigz L Die was also used to create the gift card holder, along with Bermuda Bay cardstock and Birthday Basics Designer Paper. "Happy Birthday" is from the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set.
This masculine gift card holder was made with the Remembering Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Catalog (and only available for a few more days! After January 2nd, it is gone, maybe forever.)
The Woodgrain Textured Impressions folder was used on the Early Espresso cardstock, and the "thinking of you" is from the Wetlands stamp set. Susie Wood is the creator of this card. She used the Envelope Punch Board in a different way to create a card instead of an envelope!
Speaking of Wetlands, this card is a beautiful example of the use of that set!
Marina Mist, Baked Brown Sugar, and Very Vanilla come together with Midnight Muse and Baked Brown Sugar ink to create a masculine but very attractive card.
The Painter's Tape technique was used for the background behind the goose.
Inside the slot for the gift card was punched with the Word Window Punch.
Here's another gift card holder using the Remembering Your Birthday stamps and Birthday Basics Designer Paper again:
The bow was created with the Gift Bow Bigz Die from the Holiday Catalog. If you were waiting to order this die later, DON'T WAIT! As far as I know, this die will no longer be available after January 2nd! It might come back in the new catalog in June, but there's no guarantee!
The Word Window Punch was used again for the gift card slot.
Here's a couple more that are not gift card holders, but I just couldn't resist including them for you today:
Lots of punches used to create the clown, along with Chalk Talk stamps and framelits, Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper, and the Stripes Textured Impressions Folder!
Lastly, this cute card was created using the Zoo Review stamp set, Soft Sky, Whisper White, and Basic Black cardstock, Circle Collection Framelits, and Soft Sky 1/2" Seam Binding.
The penguin stamp in Zoo Review is actually just one single penguin. The creator of this card stamped the center bird first, then covered it with a mask before stamping the same stamp on either side of it. "You Can Never Have Too Much Happy" is from the Yippee-Skippee! stamp set.
There you go! SIX cards for today! How do you like that?

Thanks, Sue! I'm glad you enjoy them! I seem to always have more samples than I have days to share them, so Sunday swap days are a good time to get them in!
Thanks for leaving a comment. It is encouraging to hear from you!
