Stamp It Group Birthday Blog Hop

February 18, 2017 by Linda


Welcome to Stamp It Group Birthday Blog Hop.  We are all using current Stampin Up Product.  I’m Linda Cullen from Massachusetts, USA and you are visiting my blog Crafty Stampin’.   At the bottom of my post you will find a list with all the participating blog hoppers so you can move along from blog to blog and see all the fantastic projects. Make sure to leave a comment on each blog with the hash tag #stampitcontest to be entered to win a Designer Tin of Cards Kit and stamps.

I made a gift card holder birthday card.  I used the Stampin Up Big on Birthdays stamp set for my greeting on the outside of my card.  I used two papers from the Succulent Garden DSP, the Sweet Sugarplum gingham and the busy floral.  This paper is just so gorgeous.  I added several Old Olive Enamel Shapes to add interest.

The big difference to this gift card is that it opens down from the bottom towards you.  This allow’s me to add a gift card pocket that won’t allow the card to money to fall out.  I stamped the greetings on the inside from BYOP stamp set. The gingham DSP on the inside looks so cute, but it also is visible when the card is in the closed position.

The back of the front of the card has the pocket to hold a gift card or cash.

I finished off the card with a stamped Medium Whisper White Envelope stamped with #ImBringingBirthdaysBack stamp.

I hope you enjoyed your stop at Crafty Stampin’ on the Birthdays Theme Blog Hop.  Remember to leave a comment on my blog and visit each of the blog hoppers.
