Inspired by a Junk Journal Tutorial I saw, I came up with a folio version for a gift card holder. It’s fun to use the Snowy Wonder and Reindeer Fun Bundles for this project, along with the Snowy Wonder and Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper Packs. Check in on the Last Chancce Product Category in my online store, or click on the thumbnail image at the end of this post for more details on these products.
The Snowy Days and Reindeer Fun Bundles were on top of my Wish List in the September-December Mini Catalog. I got them because of the variety of stamp and coordinating die images. The images are great for little decorative elements. Use them on cards, boxes, and gift card holders (as I’ve used them here). They’re great for creating your customized ephemera. I enjoyed mixing the elements and Designer Series Paper to create these Mini Folio Gift Card Holders.
Below are photos of the inside of two of the Folio Gift Card Holders.
PDF And Video Tutorials
The PDF Tutorial includes all the cutting dimensions you’ll need to design your version of the Folio Gift Card Holder. I also included the belly band dimensions if you choose to design yours with a belly band closure.
Keep in mind, you can use the belly band, create a magnet closure, or a little latch closure. It’s up to you!

So, I hope you enjoy the Tutorials here for you. The Folio Gift Card Holderis quick, easy, and fun to make. Get them ready for those last minute gifts. You’ll enjoy re-visiting your holiday paper stash. Have fun with it.
It’s that time again. I’m getting tags ready and showcasing the Snowy Wonder Bundle. The Bundle is in the Last Chance section, while supplies last.
When I originally saw the Snowy Wonder Bundle, tags came to mind. I knew it would be a great Bundle for tags, along with cards, and creating my own ephemera for other holiday and winter projects. There are lots of little elements you can stamp and cut with the coordinating dies.
Creating these tags was easy since I cut some of the elements directly frm the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper using the coordinating dies.
So, let’s make a tag!
Parts & Pieces For the Little House Tag
I die cut the tag from one of my Tailor Made Tags Dies (they’re no longer available). You can cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 1 3/4″ x 3 3/4″, use a corner round punch to round the edges, and punch a hole in the top.
I stamped the house directly to the tag using Poppy Parade ink.
I created a “mask” of the house using the stamp and a sticky note. (You can also use Masking Sheets – #155480. I die cut the sticky note house with the coordinating die.
Place the mask house over the stamped house on the tag.
Stamp the snowflake image (using Pool Party ink), over the masked house, as shown.
Remove the mask. The snowflake appears to be behind the house.
Stamp the smaller snowflake as shown.
I stamped and die cut the two little snow drifts.
The Garden Green trees are die cuts.
Assemble the elements as shown, and use your Markers or Blends to shade the windows and door.
Technique Tip: Masking
I chose the first tag in my photo to illustrate the “masking” technique. I masked the house and stamped the snowflake over the mask to give the appearance the snowflake is behind the house. For those who have never tried “masking”, you can download and print the PDF Tutorial by clicking the blue button below. There are additional photos in the Tutorial.
The snowman and penguin tags are quick and easy. I die cut them directly from the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper.
The Snowman Tag has no stamping. The trees and snowflakes, along with the snowman, are die cuts.
The Penguin Tag has two stamped snowflakes, and I stamped the snow drifts.
You can quickly and easily put together a bunch of tags using the Snowy Wonder Bundle and the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper. They’re both in the Last Chancecategory on my website under “Specials & Promotions.
A new month, and a new Customer Mini Card Kit! It’s my gift to customers with a minimum product purchase of $50.00 through my Online Store.
I couldn’t resist celebrating the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper. It’s a recent Product Release in the Online Exclusives, and it’s gorgeous! My cards are both “thank you” cards. Think about changing the sentiment to create a pretty “happy birthday” card, or “thinking of you” card. The sentiment part of putting these cards together is up to you!
Let’s talk about the Card Kit.
You will receive everything you need to put the cards together as I’ve designed them except for adhesives.
The Kit will include the card bases, layers, die cuts, embellishments, sentiment layers, and envelopes.
I cannot send stamped images, but you will have a sentiment layer you can customize to a stamp you have.
You will also receive a printed PDF Tutorial, along with a video link so you can put the cards together with me.
You will automatically receive this Kit with a minimum product purchase of $50.00 through my online store.
This card kit will be available through December 31st, 2024.
