Card holder – Stamper's Blog

Can you believe it’s November and the holidays are just around the corner? This sweet little box is perfect to help you with your holiday gift giving. And the best part – it’s free! Hop along with us and see lots of great ideas for this pattern.

This is the box filled with cards. It’s a substantial size and I was able to get 10 2 layer cards and envelopes inside! I used Cherry Cobbler card stock and the Season of Cheer Designer Series paper for the box and the Merry Everything for the tag. I die cut the top with the Perfect Pines Framelit Dies and added a piece of window sheet to the opening.

Here’s the set –

But it’s not only great for cards – it’s great for gifts too. I filled mine with chocolate. Wouldn’t this make a cute gift for a teacher, hair dresser, babysitter, neighbor – anyone you want to remember during the holidays?

The box opens with a cute fold –

So now that you’ve seen my ideas for the box, follow along on the Blog Hop and see other ways to use the pattern. You can get your copy of the pattern here.

I’ve been asked to join the Creative Circle Design Team – focusing on lovely 3-D creations and Stampin UP products. If you’ve just come from Barb’s post, you’re int he right place! This month’s template is a “murse” – or a man’s purse. You can get your own copy of the template at the end of this post. It’s an SVG file designed by Liz Holloway and I was able to cut it out on my Eclips. (or you can print and cut!) I chose the Go Wild and Cherry on Top Designer Series paper to make my card holder and cards.

For my closure, I staggered 3 front panels (Go Wild, Tip Top Taupe and Basic Black) and added a closure “button” using Awesomely Artistic.

I used Antique Brads on the handle to help it swing out of the way.

This card uses Flower Shop and Go Wild DSP on a Heavy White base. The leaves are the Bird punch.

This card features the Bold Butterfly die.

And last, but not least, Awesomely Artistic and some Irresistibly Yours DSP. Hope you’ve enjoyed these samples. Hop on over to Liz Holloway’s blog to see more fun ways to use this template. Hugs, Fran
