Can’t wait to see how you all interpret this challenge!

A pretty package is an inviting way to encourage loved ones to dig into gifts with gusto. Presenting gift cards in a unique way can pose a challenge but trust us, it’s a challenge we’re up to tackling. Our Blueprints series includes an abundance of elements that help make your gift card presentation as exciting as its contents.

Need pretty gift card containers in a hurry? I’ve got just the thing for you! These two were easy and quick to make—just what you need sometimes, right? I used Gift Card Envelope Die-namics to cut them from Cool as a Cucumber Card Stock and In the Buff Card Stock—two colors that I don’t use often but that blend so well with the shades in Itsy Bitsy Polka Dots Pastels Paper Pack. After I constructed the envelopes, I cut the big balloons from Blueprints 26 Die-namics from the patterned paper, and popped them up on foam mounting tape. I stamped the sentiments from Handwritten Happiness on the fronts with Black Licorice dye ink, added the string and bow, cut from Sweet Tooth card stock, and some stars, cut from Silver Sparkle Card Stock with Blueprints 13 Die-namics and Blueprints 25 Die-namics.



To keep the envelopes closed, I added a Wild Cherry card stock heart, cut with Blueprints 27 Die-namics.

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!
