Vintage Mailbox Gift Card, Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy Monday!

Today's card features the super cool Mailbox Card Base from the Vintage Love Release from Honey Bee Stamps which I magically turned into a mailbox for a Gift card, so keep reading to see how I did that.

CARD RECIPE

Mailbox - A2 Vintage Mailbox Card Base Dies

Gift Card Post Card- Mini Postcard Die

Frame - Lovely Layouts Posted Dies

Inside sentiment - Mailbox Memos Stamp Set

Background Stamps - Postmarked Stamp Set

Gems - Vintage Love Gem Stickers

To create the space for the Gift Card, I added a thin piece of foam tape along the edge of the top layer of the mailbox and then glued it to the bottom layer. 

To hold the gift card I simply used a tape runner and applied low tack tape to the back of the gift card I then attached it to the Mini Postcard Die that I had stamped using images from the Postmarked Stamp Set.

To keep the mailbox door closed I cut a thin strip of magnetic material and attached it to the door and the inside of the mailbox.

On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Mailbox Memos Stamp Set.

Once the recipient removes the gift card they will also see another little message that I stamped from the Mailbox Memos Stamp Set.

Hope this Vintage Mailbox Gift Card inspired you to use your supplies creatively! Hidden surprises are always fun for the recipient, making this card extra thoughtful!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Bake a Cookie Gift Card | Picket Fence Studios

Hello friends! 

I have another post to share with you today, this time featuring some new goodies from Picket Fence Studios and I think this one is pretty sweet 😉 yes, pun intended. The simple technique I am sharing is a great way to give a gift card to someone and this fun Bake a Cookie A2 Layering Stencil Set makes the perfect backdrop to gift a sweet treat.

CARD RECIPE

Background - Bake a Cookie A2 Layering Stencil Set

Sentiment - Lick the Bowl

Stencil Stabilizer  - Paper Inking Palette - 4x9

Stencil Paste - Paper Glitz - Buttercream

Stencil Paste - Paper Glaze Luxe - Chocolate Frosting

Inside ink - Black Hybrid Ink Pad

To start, I used the bottom cookie layer stencil from the Bake a Cookie A2 Layering Stencil Set and applied a thin layer of Paper Glitz - Buttercream. While that layer was drying I stamped out the sentiment from the Lick the Bowl stamp set using white pigment ink that I then heat set with white embossing powder. I then trimmed out the sentiment strip with a paper trimmer. 

Now back to the background, add the top layer of the cookies using the other stencil from the Bake a Cookie A2 Layering Stencil Set this time using Paper Glaze Luxe - Chocolate Frosting. Once that is dry it is time to assemble the card.

Add foam dots behind the sentiment strip, the width of the foam placement should match the width of the gift card, snug enough to secure the card in place, but not too tight that it is hard to remove it. Once that is figured out center it onto the card front and stick the strip in place. Snip off any excess paper that hangs off the edge of the card. I then added some gems to the strip for extra sparkle. Here is another look at the card without the gift card in place.

On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the Lick the Bowl using a Black Hybrid Ink Pad.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this simple gift card technique, and for those of you who want to see my debut Reel for Picket Fence Studios, make sure you are following along on Instagram.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Coffee Gift Card/Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Is it a shaker card or a gift card? Well, it's actually both!

Hello friends and happy Monday! I am back today with more inspiration for the Heartfelt Harvest Release from Honey Bee Stamps. The gift card holder part was actually an afterthought. I initially was just going to glue the coffee tag to the acetate but then I had the idea to pop it up using foam on each side, the width of a gift card. I then added a floating heart beneath it to act as a stopper for the gift card, and voila... a two-for-one card design was born!

On the inside of the shaker pocket, I used die-cut coffee beans and some gingerbread shaker bits that I had. 

CARD SUPPLIES

Vintage Gift Card Box Add-On - Fall Treats Stamps

Vintage Gift Card Box Add-On - Fall Treats Dies

Fancy Fall Layering Frames

Lovely Layers Fall Treats

Pinstripes and Polka Dots Harvest Paper Pad

Homestead Harvest Gems

Intense Black Ink Pad

White Foam Dots With Tab - 1/2" x 1/8"

I hope this Coffee Card Shaker inspired you for the next time you are looking for a creative way to include a gift card in your card. 

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Spring Birthday Gift Card Box | Adventure Awaits Release | Honey Bee Stamps

Hey Friends, I am back again today with more inspiration for the Adventure Awaits Release from Honey Bee Stamps.

Today I am featuring the Vintage Gift Card Box Dies not in the theme of the Release but rather as a Spring Birthday Gift Card Box. This Gift Card Box could easily be made to suit your needs for any occasion by simply changing your papers and the sentiment. Make sure to check out all the supplies I used in the links below.

Here is a photo of me holding it for reference of scale. It is large enough to hold a gift card plus it could hold some treats as well.

The window is optional, but I like that it's there. You could easily also change the shape of the by using an oval or a rectangular die too. Other than die cutting and assembling the box and flowers there is not much to explain. The sentiment comes from the new Hooked on You Stamp and Die sets.

I hope this little birthday gift card box inspired you. The Box Die itself is a bit pricey, but if you are someone that loves to give out gift cards this die will definitely come in handy and pay for itself. I think this would make a great little treat box to give as a gift to your guests for a larger event like a shower or even a wedding.

Don't forget to stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more inspiration. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
