Denita Wright - Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Hello, and welcome to my blog.

As promised I have a photo tutorial for the 'Love Blossoms Gift Card Holders' I created for the February Creation Station Blog Hop.

The Gift Card Holders are very simple to make, and a lovely way to use the 6"x6" 'Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack' (or any other DSP you may have hiding away).

I used the Stampin' Trimmer with the Scoring Blade to score the Designer Series Paper. You can also use the Simply Scored.

Here is a little bit of help for those requiring Imperial to Metric conversion, or click here for a conversion chart.

Step 1: Trim 1cm from the bottom of the 6"x6" DSP. Either discard, or keep this piece for decorating your Gift Card Holder. Score the bottom at 8mm - a perfect width for Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Step 2: Turn DSP so the 6" piece is along the top of the Trimmer. Score 8mm & 8cm.

Step 3: Trim the bottom of the DSP along the score line as shown. Don't forget to notch the tab.

Step 4: Place Tear & Tape adhesive onto the 8mm scored edge, and bottom tab as shown.

Step 5: Remove backing from the Tear & Tape adhesive and fold over the scored edge, keeping the flap tucked in.

Step 6: Remove backing from the Tear & Tape adhesive on the bottom tab and fold to adhere to the back of the Gift Card Holder.

Step 7: Punch a semi circle using the 1" Circle Punch at the top (open) end of the Gift Card Holder.

Step 8: Cardstock dimensions for the insert - 13cm x 7cm (5 1/8" x 2 3/4"), using Whisper White cardstock.

I decorated my Gift Card Holders with different elements that coordinated with the Love Blossoms DSP.

Colours: Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake, Rose Red & Whisper White. One of my favourites is the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper - so pretty, and sparkly and just divine!!!

I hope you make your very own Gift Card Holders from my photo tutorial. Again, you can use any 6"x6" DSP and I would love to see your creations! Please ask any questions, and I love a comment too.

Happy creating. D x

Hello and welcome to the February Creation Station Blog Hop! You may have started with me?, or have hopped on over from Julie, or back from Jen. Just make sure you hop all around to visit the other fabulous Design Team Members.
(The links are at the bottom of my blog post).
And we have a brand new logo! Isn't is divine? Thanks to Cindy, Jen & Dena for their combined effort. Love it!

This month we are celebrating all things 'LOVE' and I have used the 'Bloomin' Love' Bundle and the 'Love Blossoms' Suite to make my LOVE creations for Valentines Day. But, this lovely lot is so versatile - think Weddings/Engagements/Anniversaries... and the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper is the prettiest and sparkliest - it is a MUST for your stash!

I have made some sweet notecards in Blushing Bride, Rose Red & Whisper White. The Bloomin' Hearts Thinlits Die is the most beautiful die, and I wanted to leave it quite simple to showcase the intricate details. I added the die cut flowers and some Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper to the centre of the flowers.

Inside... I used Stampin' Write Markers to colour the Banner and Sentiment, and tiny strips of Love Blossoms DSP Stack & Blushing Bride Glimmer to finish.

My Rose Red version, and some Basic Pearls added to the centre of the flowers for a pretty, vintage feel. I love the simple matting of the Blushing Bride & Rose Red cardstock too.

A very simple bannered sentiment for the inside of my Rose Red notecard.

These are Gift Card Holders using the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack - I am loving the combination of Blushing Bride & Crumb Cake! There are 48 sheets of this beautiful patterned 2 sided paper measuring 6"x6", and these holders are so easy to make. And not forgetting the Glimmer Paper. Swoon...

(I hope to have a photo tutorial for the Gift Card Holders for you soon - so make sure you are Subscribed to my blog so you can receive email updates and you don't miss out.)

I loved the way the Blushing Bride Glimmer heart turned out. It had to be in a frame, lifted by Stampin' Dimensionals and nothing else.

...it's in the air

I changed up the colour palette and used my favourite colours; Pool Party & Crumb Cake with some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper for the required bling! I love how these notecards turned out.

A close up of the intricate details and the gorgeous Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. So dazzling!

NEWSFLASH!!! There is a brand new product in the Occasions Catalogue called the Big Shot Die Brush. It is the best thing ever, and it helps remove the paper from intricate dies without tearing the paper. See photos below:

*A big THANKYOU shoutout to my gorgeous Upline, Karen. If it wasn't for Karen, I would not be here! A few weeks ago I went to Karen's where I borrowed her products for my blog hop. I didn't have the Bloomin' Love Bundle, and I wanted to get cracking for this blog post. I am so lucky to have a wonderful and supportive Upline. That's what Stampin' Up! is all about.
