My share for today is a Gift Card Holder and Card that I designed using products from Stampin' Up!'s August 3 - January 3, 2022 Mini Holiday Catalog and/or the May 2021-April 2022 Annual Catalog and More.  Let's take a look:

I finished my Gift Card Holder to match yesterdays Card...

Pictured above is the Card that I shared with you yesterday...

You can go back to my Blog Post on the 8th of November to learn how to get One Gift Card Holder & One Card Base from One Sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock...

I chose the Cinnamon Cider Gift Card Holder from the one's that I shared with you on November 8th.  Using the Scalloped/Dashed die from the Basic Borders dies, I die cut the front flap.

I trimmed out two Panels of the Old Olive/Evening Evergreen/Striped pattern from Stampin' Up!'s Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper to measure about 2-1/8" x 3-1/4".  (When working with Stripes, make sure the Stripes are going the same way all throughout your Project.)

Using the Basic Borders dies, I die cut both Long sides of the Panels with the Scalloped/Dashed Border die.  I adhered one to the Front of the Gift Card Holder and one to the Inside on the Left Side of the Gift Card Holder with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set, I stamped two Santa Hats, the Little Doggie, two Candy Canes and one of each Present in Memento Black Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock.

Using my Stampin' Blends in Light and Dark, I colored Santa's Hat in Cherry Cobbler, the Little Doggie in Cinnamon Cider and Petal Pink, the Candy Canes in Cherry Cobbler and the Presents in Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler.

Using the Stockings dies, I die cut everything out plus the Stocking from the Sweet Stockings DSP.  I also die cut out two Holly Leaves from Evening Evergreen Cardstock and two Berries from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock.

I poked a hole in the top of Santa's Hat with my Pick Tool.  I cut a length of the White Baker's Twine from the Essentials Pack, pulled out two threads, thread both ends through the hole in Santa's Hat and tied them into a knot at the top.  (The recipient can take the Little Doggie Stocking off of the Gift Card Holder and use it for a Tag or an Ornament for their Tree if they want.)

I adhered the Santa's Hat to the Little Doggie and the Little Doggie to the Candy Cane and to the Stocking with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.  I adhered the Berries to the Holly Leaves and to the Stocking with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

I adhered the Little Doggie Stocking to the Gift Card Holder with two Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  

I cut a length of the 3/8" Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon, thread it underneath the Stocking and around the Gift Card Holder and tied it into a Bow for a closure for the Gift Card Holder.  (You can adhere the Ribbon down with a Glue Dot if you want - I did not.)

For the Left Side of the Inside of my Gift Card Holder:

Using the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set, I stamped 'Very Merry twice in Cherry Cobbler Ink onto pieces of Basic White Cardstock.  (One is for the Gift Card).  

Using the Dual Oval Punch, I punched out one of the 'Very Merry's.  I punched out a Scalloped Oval from Old Olive Cardstock.  I adhered the two Oval's together and to the Left Inside of my Gift Card Holder with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

For the Right Side of the Inside of my Gift Card Holder:

I trimmed out another Panel of the Old Olive/Evening Evergreen/Striped DSP to measure 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" and die cut the two Long edges with the Scalloped/Dashed Border die from the Basic Borders dies.  

Using my Circle Punch, I punched a smaller Thumb Hole in the Panel and adhered it to the Right Side of the Inside of my Gift Card Holder.

I adhered the last Candy Cane and the two Presents to the Right Side of the Inside of my Gift Card Holder as shown in the picture above.

For the Gift Card:

I trimmed out another Panel of the Old Olive/Evening Evergreen/Striped pattern from the Sweet Stockings DSP.  

I adhered the Panel to my Gift Card with two Small Glue Dots.  (It easily pops off when you need to use the Gift Card.)

I trimmed out the second 'Very Merry' Basic White piece to measure 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" and adhered it to the Panel on my Gift Card.

I adhered the last Santa Hat and Holly and Berries to the Panel as shown in the picture above.

I didn't feel that my Gift Card Holder needed any further embellishing...

These Gift Card Holders are so FUN and EASY to create and decorate!!!  Very addicting!!!
