Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Wishes Cash Gift Card

 

Hi! Welcome to my blog.  Today's project is this fun Christmas card/cash holder!  I love making these to make cash gifts a bit more fun.  They don't take much time, and really don't take much product.  Just make sure you save those cardstock scraps for other projects! 

I chose to use the Christmas Trees Dies from the 2021 July - December Mini Catalog.  This is a great die set to have on hand, even if you don't have the Whimsical Trees stamps that coordinate with it.  Of course, if you can, I totally recommend getting the stamps too.  It's one of my favorite sets!

MEASUREMENTS

Card Base ~ Evening Evergreen Cardstock ~ 7" x 7", score at 1-1/2" and 4-1/2"

Layer 1 ~ Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper ~ 2" x 7"

Layer 2 ~ Cherry Cobbler Cardstock ~ 2-3/4" x 2-3/4"

scraps of Basic White Cardstock 

Inside Layer ~ Basic White Cardstock ~ 2-3/4" x 6"

scraps of Evening Evergreen Cardstock and Soft Succulent Cardstock 

• Heat Emboss 'Merry Christmas' with Gold Embossing Powder on the inside of the card, as shown.
• Cut out three Basic White trees with the Christmas Trees Dies. Use Wink of Stella to add a bit of sparkle to these trees. 
• Emboss Layer 2 with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder.  Then, cut it out with one of the circle dies from Layering Circles Dies.
• Wrap a piece of ribbon around Layer 1, attaching it with Tear & Tape.  Tie a faux bow around the ribbon.
• Attach Layer 1 to the card front, aligning the bottom edge of layer 1 with the bottom edge of the top flap of your card.  
• Use Liquid Glue to adhere the three trees to Layer 2, as shown. 
• Place Stampin' Dimensionals behind Layer 2, then attach it to the card as shown. 

I suggest adding a 6" x 2-3/4" Basic White Cardstock piece for writing your message on.  This piece can be decorated with a couple of small trees, like you used on the front of the card, and tucked into the pocket with your cash gift.
