Video Tutorial For Slide Out Gift Card Holder

Here is a video demonstrating how to make a Slide Out Pocket Card. This particular one is a Christmas gift card holder but I also show examples of baby shower card versions.

P.S. Making a video is harder than I thought! I’m sorry the lighting isn’t great I’ll know better for next time. All dimensions will be listed at the bottom of this post in case you miss something in the video. Thanks for watching!

Cookie Swap Flyer

This was made using My Digital Studio. I was playing around with it and designed a flyer for a cookie swap using the Christmas Jingle Designer Kit elements. It’s so easy to make your own flyers, signs, cards, scrapbook albums, even DVDs with this software.

I’m not sure what cookie I’ll be bringing to the swap yet. Recipe testing will begin shortly though!

Card Organizers

I found the tutorial for these Card Organizers on splitcoaststampers.com and they are really very easy to make. Here are two versions I made, using whatever DSP and card stock I had on hand. It’s a good way to clean out your stash of old papers!

For the cover, I used a piece of Kiwi Kiss Textured card stock and stamped the bottom with Great Friend in Kiwi Kiss ink. The butterfly is from the same set and stamped in Pink Pirouette ink, which I then cut out with my snips and adhered it to the cover using dimensionals.

The font I used to type “Card Organizer” is Joyful Juliana which I downloaded for free. I cut out the printer paper along with the polka dot Printed Window Sheet using the Top Note Die. I layered the two pieces and using my cropadile, punched two hole for Ice Circle Rhinestone Brads. That was also adhered using dimensionals. The ribbon is 1 1/4″ Pink Pirouette grosrain that I wrapped around the organizer and tied the book closed at the side.  I put down some snail in a few places under the ribbon to keep it lying flat.

Inside, I used the Walk in the Park DSP from the last mini catalog. Each compartment is devoted to different occasions, which I labeled used the Scallop Oval Punch. The other stamps I used were from Oval All and Goody Goody Gumdrops.

To bind the book together, I used the cropadile to punch two holes and used looseleaf ring clips from Staples. I found it necessary to put a small glue dot in the open corner of each pocket (nearest the binding) so that my cards wouldn’t slip out.

Here is another version I made using Chocolate chip DSP, textured cardstock, and Sweet Always DSP.  This one is divided by months, so that the recipient can add in reminders for birthdays and other special occasions.

The N stamp is from Lovely Letters, stamped in Regal Rose ink onto Whisper White paper, which I layered on a Chocolate Chip Scallop Circle. I used the White Gel Pen to add the dots. Kraft card stock, paper piercer, and Regal Rose 5/8″ grosgrain ribbon finishes off the cover.
