It's getting to that time of the year when you need gift card holders or chocolate treat holders for Teacher Gifts, Birthdays, Thank You's, Holiday Greetings, etc. Today, I used the coffee mug from the Warm Hugs Stamp Set to create a gift card holder perfect for your Fall and Winter gift needs. I used the Swirly Frame Stamp Set and an assortment of fun ink colors, including Highland Heather, Terracotta Tile, Bumblebee, and Coastal Cabana to create a card with an inside pocket perfect for holding gift cards, a business card, or a flat chocolate like Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares. You'll have fun coming up with your own ideas for color combinations and decorative die cuts to personalize cards from you to someone special.

The basecard for this card is Sahara Sand Cardstock. Then a layer of Terracotta Tile Cardstock, and the image layer is Whisper White Cardstock. The inside of the cards uses the same cardstock layers, stamps and die cuts, and includes a sentiment from the

Coffee mugs card using Warm Hugs Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

I used the Swirly Frames Stamp Set and stamped the square in Highland Heather, Terracotta Tile, Bumblebee and Coastal Cabana inks to create patterns all over the card front. Then I used the mug stamp from Warm Hugs using the same ink colors to stamp a color and a snowflake on each cup. The cups outlines were stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. One of the dies in Warm Wraps Dies cuts out these cute mugs. (Yeah! you don't have to fussy cut them!)

The sentiment is also from the Warm Hugs Stamp Set, and it is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then die cut using one of the coordinating dies from the Warm Wraps Dies. The Whisper White layer on the edges of the card were dry embossed using Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Then a Highland Heather design using one of the dies from Many Medallions accents each end panel.
