HOLLY JOLLY WISHES & A QUICK AND EASY GIFT CARD GREETING; A TINSEL TIME TUESDAY POST

 Hi Stampers!

Welcome to Tinsel Time Tuesday! Here we are two days away from Thanksgiving, six days from the start of Hanukkah, and just over a month from Christmas!!! This is my 17th Tinsel Time Tuesday post for the season. Only 3 more to go!!! I hope everyone has a nice stack of Holiday cards to send out to family and friends. If not, no need to panic; today’s project is quick and easy AND does double duty as a greeting card and a gift card holder. Let’s take a look!

GIFT CARD GREETINGS

When you open the card it looks like this…

Most of the greetings for the cards come from the HOLLY JOLLY WISHES stamp set.

FOR THIS PROJECT YOU WILL NEED:

* Cardstock for card base cut at 9 1/4” x 5 1/2” scored along the 9 1/4” side at 7 1/4” x 3”. Fold each score line toward the middle of the card. 

* Basic White cardstock cut at 5 1/4” x 4” for inside of card.

* Two pieces of DSP for front of card cut at 5 1/4” x 2 3/4” and one at 5 1/4” x 1 3/4”.

* A greeting die cut or punched and a mat for the greeting. I used the Layering Circles Dies for the greetings and the mats ( 2 1/4” and 2 1/2” diameter).

* Adhesive, Tear & Tape! Dimensionals.

* Gift card, old credit card, one of those fake credit cards that come in the mail, or gift card template. This item provides a guide to ensure a gift card will fit in the card’s pocket. For the template cut a piece of cardstock at 3 3/8” x 2 1/8”. I used a punch to round the corners of my template, but there is no need to do so. 

Specific supplies for each card are listed below.

JINGLE ALL THE WAY

SUPPLIES

* HOLLY JOLLY WISHES stamp set. The little star/snowflake image is from the STARS ARE SHINING stamp set. There is a similar image in the NOTHING’S BETTER THAN stamp set.

* Real Red card base plus scrap for greeting base.

* DSP - Heartwarming Hugs - striped pattern. To match stripes cut DSP at 5 1/4” x 4 1/2”. Place the DSP in the paper cutter with the 4 1/2” side along the top and cut at 2 3/4”. Now the stripes on the top of the card and bottom of the card will match up perfectly!
