Hello and welcome to our Hump Day Lunch Break. Today we made this adorable quick and easy gift card holder using scraps of designer paper, punches and dies. But you can use anything in your stash. These gift card holders are so quick and easy to make- they are great for those last minute gifts you need. I love this gift card holder, I have used this so many times to make multiple ones quickly and always have these on hand. Many times, I leave the sentiment off unitl I know what I need it for. I just go grab a sentiment set, stamp on a scrap piece of white cardstock and well-la card to go done!
The measurements for this holder are

I don’t’ know about you , but one of my most favorite thinga about fall is the changing of the leaves. They go from various colors of green to yellow, orange, red, purple. It is one of the most gorgeous times of the year here in Wisconsin. The fall colors inspired me to use Blackberry Bliss and well if you are going to use that color, you may as well add in Rich Razzelberry and Fresh Freesia. Stampin’ UP!s colors coordinate so well together. And you know that the cardstock, ribbon, inks etc will all match. It’s granimals for adults.
Today’s Hump Day Lunch Break (featured as a FACEBOOK LIVE and them Uploaded to YouTube features the Soft Seedlings Stamp set and the wonderful colors mentioned above.

Here are just a few more card ideas. Staying with the Color Resist Technique, I tried out using Very Vanilla cardstock as well as Basic white cards stock with Soft Succulent and Soft Suede inks. I mounted the card fronts to Evening Evergreen cardstock to given them some depth. This time I changed up the sentiments that were used. I chose the Charming Sentiments and coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes dies. Did you know that you can bundle the two and save 10%? You can check it out in my Online Stampin’ Up! store
Do you ever wonder what to do with those leftover pieces of Designer Series Paper? I mean they are too pretty to just toss out right? Well, stop saving those scraps and start using them. Today’s Hump Day lunch break share quick and easy card and uses some leftover papers. Check out the video below- and make sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel to see all of the crafting videos!
My Original design was a Halloween themed card using the Witch Builder punch, but so sad that the punch is no longer available and won’t be returning…
It’s a good thing I had some other scraps handy. I decided with the Cottage Wreath bundle.
Today’s Hump Day Lunch Break was about using one card layout (or sketch) to create mutliple cards by simply swapping out stamp sets. The goal was to feature Stampin’ Up!s beautiful cardstock colors. The colors featured in today’s Live are the same colors that have been posted to the Ink Trail team Color Challenge. Each month, we have a Color Challenge and a Sketch Challenge that we participate in. We make projects using the colors or sketch that have been posted and we share our ideas with each other. If this is something you would be interested, I invite you to join my Ink Trails Team. Would you like to learn more or participate in a team meeting? Please reach out to me and I will send you an invite. October’s Team meeting is in person and a zoom meeting, October 16th at 6:30 pm (central)
now on to our cards…
Our first card uses the colors below: Starry Sky, Parakeet Party and Balmy Blue. And these are the pieces for our card layout. I used the Layering Circle Dies and the Decorative circle punch to cut out the cardstock pieces. You can easily use and punch or die shapes
To showcase our colors and sketch layout, I thought I would be fun to use the Gnomes dies. Did you know that the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and Gnomes dies are the featured products in this months Studio Card Club? You can see more information and register for that class by going to the Studio Card Club page.
We used the same Card layout for the second card and just swtiched out the colors and stamp set. This time I used the Snowman Magic Bundle. (Snowman Magic Stamp set and coordinating Snowman dies). This is such an adorable set. I have had quite a bit of fun making cards using this set. Check out this blog post: for more Snowman Magic Ideas.
