International Highlights Winners Blog Hop - November 2023

Monday 27 November 2023

I’m so excited to be featured in the the International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop hosted by Kylie Bertucci. I was selected to participate in this hop by finishing in the top 10 in the November 2023 International Highlights. Thank you to everyone who voted for my Meandering Meadow Gate Fold Card.

I made this adorable pop up Gift Card Holder using the Fluffiest Friends Bundle. This Bundle is available in the Online Exclusive section of my Online Store. It is so adorable! I love to have gift cards on hand to give to family or friends for any occasion! "Just because" is a perfect occasion - maybe with a coffee card!

Isn't this cute!

Instructions

Cut Poppy Parade cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 4 1/2", 5 1/2" and 6 1/2".
Fold and burnish on the scoreline using a Bone Folder in a Mountain, Valley, Mountain configuration.
Add Tear and Tape on the outside edge of the "V"
Use a punch or die that is about 3 3/4" wide. If you have one that is smaller, you can use that and cut multiple times to get an opening for the gift card. Cut down about 1/4" only into the flap - this will hold the Gift Card.
Stamp sentiment using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in top right corner
Cut Designer Series Paper using the hive die
Adhere to the front of the card
Stamp bear image on Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
