Fun Foam Gift Card Holders by Janet

Hi Ai fans! As I do every July, my mind turns to the upcoming Christmas season. This week I decided to make some cute gift card holders. I thought I would try making them out of foam. I'm so glad I gave it a try! 

The base of these gift card holders are the 5344 Envelope GHC Set. You can make any of the gift card designs using this set. There are separate sets that can be used to decorate this envelope. There are no stamps with these sets but there are tags and other fun shapes you could add to further decorate the gift card holders. I've made these before with paper and they turn out well. I recently picked up a large stack of various colored foam and I thought I would use the foam and see how they would turn out. I couldn't have been happier!

To make these, I cut pieces in the foam that would fit the dies that needed to be cut. Before I cut them, I backed the foam with wide double-sided foam tape. Once cut this made it very easy and quick to put them together. The dies were able to cut through the foam. If you're machine doesn't cut all the way through, try running it through 3-4 times. I have a Crafters Companion Gemini and it cut the pieces perfectly. 

The snowman was created with 5340 Snowman GCH Set. He sure is a cutie!

Santa is pretty cute too. It was made with 5399 Santa GCH Set.

I think these will be very fun to give and receive. They're so happy and cheerful.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I invite you to check out all the Gift Card Holder sets available in the store. It's such a fun line to work with. 

Wishing you a very crafty weekend!

Santa Gift Card Holder by Jil Lebel

 

Hello Ai fans!

Christmas is rapidly approaching!  My family is all about getting gift cards.  I was so excited to see the new gift card holder release. I used the Santa Gift Card Holder die set along with the Envelope Gift Card Holder die. Remember to get the envelope die because it is separate from the decorative die sets.

I cut out the envelope die with red scrapbook paper.  I folded it on all of the score lines and attached the sides with glue.  I then cut out the face with pink paper.    One nose and two cheeks are cut from pink embossed Tonic paper.  I used black paper to cut two eyes and the mouth. I used white Tonic paper to cut out the beard, a pom pom, two eyebrows and a mustache The packaging tells you what each piece is supposed to go. I used glue to attach most of the pieces to the envelope. I did raise up the eyebrows and mustache with foam tape.

Be sure to watch Bonnie's video.  She shows you how to put together every Gift Card Holder in this collection.

Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Day!
