5 tips for making handmade gift card holders using Stampin’ Up! products:
- Choose Sturdy Cardstock – Use high-quality Stampin’ Up! cardstock, like Basic White Thick or Early Espresso, to ensure your gift card holder is durable and looks professional. Layer designer series paper for added flair.
- Incorporate Punches and Dies – Stampin’ Up! punches and die sets, such as the Tailor Made Tags or Scalloped Contours Dies, make it easy to create decorative shapes and slots for gift cards.
- Add Interactive Elements – Consider including interactive features like belly bands, fun folds or flaps. Use Stampin’ Up!’s Simply Scored Scoring Tool for crisp folds and precise scoring.
- Embellish Thoughtfully – Use Stampin’ Up! embellishments like ribbon, rhinestones, and stamped images to match the occasion. Keep embellishments flat to avoid bulk if mailing.
- Personalize with Stamps – Stamp sentiments or images from versatile sets like Phrases for All or Seasons of Fun to suit holidays, birthdays, or other events. Use coordinating ink colors for a polished look.
