Hi everyone!
For the Keep It Contained Challenge, I created a Halloween gift card holder featuring the new 6112-Pumpkin Parade Set. This little holder is perfect for any occasion and so much fun to decorate!
Step 1: Cut a piece of purple cardstock to 4" x 8" and score it at 2" and 5-1/2".
Step 2: Cut two pieces of star pattern paper for the center panel (front and back). The center section is 4" x 3-1/2", so cut your papers slightly smaller for a border.
Step 3: On the inside lower panel, add strong tape only along the sides to create a pocket for the gift card. You can use either the shorter or longer flap for the bottom (I used the shorter one).
Step 4: Cut a white cardstock piece for the top front panel (2-1/2" x 4"), again trimming it slightly smaller for a border.
Step 5: Blend Distress Oxide Ink with a cloud stencil to make a soft purple sky.
Step 6: Die cut a grassy border from bright green paper.
Step 7: Cut another piece of the same green paper for the lower front panel (2" x 4") and ink the edges for extra color.
Step 8: Glue the grassy border to the bottom of the cloud panel. Attach the green piece to the front bottom panel.
Step 9: Use a small circle die to cut a notch from the bottom panel (do this before removing the score tape).
Step 10: Remove the tape backing and fold up the card to create the pocket.
Step 11: Stamp one of the cute Halloween critters and candy pieces from the Pumpkin Parade Set, then color them with Copic Markers. I added glitter to the candy for some sparkle!
Step 12: Attach the mouse with foam tape and glue the candy into the pumpkin wagon; it’s the perfect “container” for this challenge!
Step 13: Emboss the “Pumpkin Parade” greeting on black cardstock, then layer it on orange paper to match the Halloween colors.
Step 14 (Optional): Add enamel stars to the sky and use a small Velcro square to keep the holder closed.
I hope you enjoyed today’s project and feel inspired to join the Keep It Contained Challenge!
