Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Gift Card Holder with #simplestamping

This cute little gift card holder is super easy to make using the Note Cards & Envelopes that are all ready to stamp on. The Note Cards are a little smaller than the standard card and come with coordinating envelopes.

Measurements

Measurements: One Basic White Note Card: 5 x 7 inches with a score line at 3 1/2 inches; Basic White Card Stock (CS): 2 x 3 inches and 2 x 5 inches; Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper (DSP): 2 x 3 1/2 inches.

Stamping

The first step is to use the Memento ink to stamp the sentiment “Treat Yourself” onto the bottom right hand corner of the front of the notecard.

The next step uses a Two Step Stamp and Pool Party ink to create a yummy popsicle.

The popsicle stick is also a Two Step Stamp. Here I used the Cinnamon Cider ink. That’s it for the stamping!

Putting It All Together

Use a Bone Folder to make a nice crisp fold.

Adhere the Ice Cream Corner DSP to the front of the note card.

Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the popsicle to the card front.

Use the 1 1/2 inch Circle Punch to make a notch in the 2 x 5 inch Basic White CS.

Apply adhesive to three of the edges and adhere to the left side of the inside of the note card. This is where the gift card goes.

Viola! That is all there is to this cute little note card!

The package of Notecards and Envelopes comes with 20 cards so you could easily make a whole set of cute gift card holders!

Thanks for stopping by today. I plan to have a nice Wacky Wednesday Technique for you tomorrow. I hope to see you then!

Today is the first day you may order the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set, the Butterfly Bijou 6 x 6 inch Designer Series Paper and the Brilliant Wings Dies! Don’t delay as the DSP is only available for a limited time!

Stampin’ Up!® Butterfly Bouquet Blog Hop with Kylie & Bruno Bertucci Demonstrator Training Program

Hello and Welcome to my blog for the Butterfly Bouquet Blog Hop. This blog hop is put on by Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Program. The Program includes Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. You are on Theresa’s Treasures blog written by Theresa McEntee in Arizona in the USA. I hope you will visit all of the wonderful projects offered by following to the next person on the list at the end of this blog. You will be amazed at all the inspiration that awaits you!

This gorgeous butterfly Thank You card is made using the Bleach Technique. I just love how different colors come out after some color is bleached. For this card I used Pretty Peacock Card Stock (CS) and the bleached images appear to be Granny Apple Green!

Preparing the Bleach

The most important part of the Bleaching Technique is to have a good bleach “ink” pad. I used 4 layers of an absorbent paper towel in a Standard Stamp Case and soaked the paper towels with straight household bleach.

Measurements

Measurements: Very Vanilla Card Stock (CS) card base: 4 1/4 x 11 inches with a score line at 5 1/2 inches; Granny Apple Green CS: 4 x 5 1/4 inches; Pretty Peacock CS: 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 inches; and Very Vanilla CS: 1 inch strip.

Stampin with Bleach

Let the stamp sit in the bleach-soaked paper towel for about 10 seconds. Then pat the stamp on that paper towel a few times then place it on the 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 inch Pretty Peacock CS. Leave it sit for about 5 minutes to ensure that the bleach will soak into the paper. If you have too much bleach, let it sit for a shorter period of time.

See the magic when you remove the stamp!

Stamping

I used the “Thank You” sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and stamped it in Pretty Peacock ink onto the 1 inch Very Vanilla CS strip.

Assemble the Card

Begin to assemble the card by adhering the bleached card piece to the 4 x 5 1/2 inch Granny Apple Green CS. Next adhere that piece to the 4 1/4 x 11 inch Very Vanilla CS card base.

Add the “Thank You” sentiment to the card front.

Viola! That’s all there is to it.

Note: it is only recommended that you use the Bleach Technique on the red rubber stamps, not on the Photopolymer stamps. Be sure to rinse the stamp with a copious amount of water to remove any residual bleach.

Try the Bleach Technique with any of the colors of cardstock and be surprised by the color that comes up after bleaching the paper.
