Hello Friends,

We're 3 weeks out from Christmas.  How many Gift Cards do you give?  Joe eats boat loads of Peppermint ALTOIDS  throughout the year, hence I have bookoos of these tins and they make really cute Gift Card Holders.  ALTOIDS Christmas Gift Card Holders are super easy to make and what could be sweeter?  Let me show you how.

ALTOIDS Gift Card Holder Design Details

For the Inside Pop-Up cut a 5-1/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Whisper White Card Stock.  Score at 2", 2-3/4" and 3-1/4".  Fold as shown above. 

Cut and "stitch" your tree and package  with your Sweetly Stitched Dies.   Note that there are 2 dies for each design.  One will do the stitching and one will cut the shape.  You can use them together, as I did or use them separately.   Stamp "Just for You".  Sadly, the Sweetly Stitched Dies and the Nothing Sweeter stamp set are only available through December 31, 2018 or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, so get yours before they are gone for good.

To make the Gift Card Slot punch with the Classic Label Punch on the middle score line.  Note:  You will need to make the slot bigger with your snips to fit your gift Card.  Round Corners with the Detailed Trio Punch and adhere to inside of tin.

To decorate your lid cut a 2" x 3-1/2" piece of Whisper White Card Stock.  Add zigzag stitching with Sweetly Stitched dies.  Stamp Christmas greetings Using Cherry Cobbler Ink.  Round Corners with Detailed Trio Punch.  Cut and "stitch" a tree and package with Sweetly Stitched Dies and Dashing Along Designer paper.  Make Garden Mat 2-1/8" x 3-5/8", then round corners.  I popped up my tree with some Stampin' Dimensionals.

Last Day to Order for Delivery Before Christmas

The festive season is a busy time of year for sending and receiving packages, so naturally shipping times may slow down. If you are placing any orders that contain gifts for Christmas, please be advised to submit your order by Thursday, December 13.  Orders submitted after this date are not likely to arrive before Christmas. 

Have a fabulous day,
