Endless Creations Make n Take


At the Friday night make 'n takes party Endless Creations and Everyday Cards taught us how to make this amazingly cute gift card holder. Stamping, masking, punching and coloring were the order of the day!




We constructed the card from scratch and stamped the borders separate from the $ amounts. Guess what? It was very hard for me to line it all up. I had to have the teacher stamp it for me after several failed attempts. I'd use a ruler to do this type of stamping at home.


This is one of the cutest gift card presentations I've seen to date. I love that there's lots of room to write a message. Perfect for any event - especially with graduation season coming up!

    1. Hi Mary Ellen! Thanks for your kind comment. We were provided all the parts for the card. The card, embellishments, layers and the part where the gift card sticks out. It is shaped like an A with two small flaps on either side at the bottom. stick it down on either side of the inside of the card and cover with the white paper. The instructor sliced the area needed to slide the gift card into. then the stamped scallop was added. hope this helps!

  2. I'd need a ruler also! I can't seem to write or stamp in a straight line to save my life. I really like this idea and may try something similar for Christmas this year! Thanks!

    1. Hi Angelica! Even the person who helped me ended up doing it crooked a bit since she was stamping upside down. I would line the two papers up side by side and do the stamping before attaching it to the card. that might work better.

      It's a great presentation for a gift card for Christmas. Please do share once you've pulled it all together. Thanks for stopping by!
