Make a Gift Card Holder – Details
This Little Piggy is not only a great name of this stamp set but a wonderful way to say “thanks”. This image works perfectly with the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Paper. Who could resist a pig holding a daisy?
The flip up tri-fold panel reveals a wonderful area for the inside greeting as well as a pocket to hold a gift card. The inside greeting uses the Ornate Thanks stamp set – a brand new product that will be in the new annual catalog debuting on June 3. But you can purchase it now during its early release promotion.

Make a Gift Card Holder – Birthday #1
As the years pass, we all need to be reminded we are “Young at Heart”, which is the same name for this adorably witty stamp set.
I used Stampin’ Blends markers to color in the image. It’s great therapy for all of us quarantined creatives!

I love tape runners but which ones hold over time? I have some cards I made 3 months ago and they are falling apart.
Hi Linda! Many paper crafters prefer liquid glue but I’m horrible with it as I always apply too much. While others haven’t enjoyed the Snail Adhesive I’ve used in this video, I’ve never had a problem with it. So it’s my adhesive of choice. What are you currently using now? Please email me at lisa@lisasstampstudio.com so I can address your concerns personally.
This was great! Thanks for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it, Martinette!
I like this gift card holder. Simple. Thanks
