I always make gift card holders for Christmas gifts (see below), but today’s gift card holder is for saying “thank you.” My idea began, because the tropical plant in the Island Vibes Stamp Set fits perfectly on a Stampin’ Up! Note Card. Check out the Note Cards in my Product List. You get eight, Thick Basic White Cardstock, and they come with envelopes. What a deal!

To color the tropical plant, I used the “ink to stamp” technique. This is done by placing the stamp on the lid of the Stamparatus. Then, you color the stamp with Stampin’ Write Markers, and lower the lid to the Stamparatus platform, where the Note Card is held in place with magnets. You can add color as you go, until you get satisfying coverage.
I must give you a warning about the magnets. They are very strong, can snap together, break apart, and scare you to death! But, they do a great job of holding the paper in place, and you’ll learn to keep them separated.
While the Note Card was on the Stamparatus, I stamped “Thanks” in Bermuda Bay Ink, and “friend” in Stazon Black Ink. The sentiment is from the Biggest Wishes Stamp Set, which is in our current, annual catalog.
After stamping, I added a border to the Note Card by scoring it with my Paper Trimmer, 1/4″ on all sides.
Turning the Note Card into a gift card holder was a breeze. I cut Brights 6″X6″ Designer Paper in the color of Bermuda Bay, 4 3/4″ X 2 1/4″, and attached it to the inside with Tear & Tape along the bottom and sides. Prior to attaching, I punched a finger notch at the top.

I was inspired by TGIF.
