The Stamp Review Crew is at it again! Who is the Stamp Review Crew? We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who specialize in showing you how versatile a single stamp set can be! Every 1st and 3rd Monday we feature one stamp set and show you multiple ways to use it. You will be able to hop through all of our blogs and find a variety of projects. I am #10 on the hop. You should have just left stop #9: Mary Rindal. If so, you are in the right spot. If you get off track, the full blog lineup at the end of this post will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations. This week our focus is on the Perfect Blend set. I hope you enjoy the quartet of matchbook style gift card holders I created with this set.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Matchbook Style Gift Card Holders
Each gift card holder measures 2-3/4″ wide by 3-7/8″ when closed.
- The Match Game! Matchbook-style gift card holders are a breeze to make. Simply cut a 2-3/4″ wide by 8″ long piece of cardstock, and score at 3/4″ and 4-5/8″. Fold to form a matchbook, and staple the bottom fold-up in place. For a classy look, I covered the side opposite the flap with a Modern Medley Designer Series Paper pattern to coordinate with the cups.
- My cups runneth over…with pearls! The Cup image was stamped twice for each gift card…once onto Very Vanilla card stock, and once onto a variety of Modern Medley patterns. With a few snips, I created Very Vanilla sippy lids for each cup, as well as decorative sleeves. Of course, each cup received it’s own special touch of pearls:
