Chics Ink & Paper Gift Card Swap

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Today is to be our last really nice day of the week before rain & much colder temps come tomorrow. I am not looking forward to the cooler air! I already turned the heat on in the house and broke out my winter coat for our walks in the evenings! 

A few months ago I said I was working on some swap cards for our Chics, Ink & Paper teammates. This swap was to make a gift card holder using anything Stampin Up! and we could use retired products! I made mine with the Creative Celebrations Mix & Match Specialty DSP from the 2026 Stampin Up! Holiday Catalog. I told you that I am loving these ephemera packs!

Card Details:

Stamps: Soiree Salutations

Ink: Peaceful Pines, Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, Peaceful Pines, Creative Celebrations Mix & Match Specialty DSP

Accessories: Winter Snow EF (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Hydrangea Hue In Color Dots, Real Red & White Stitched Ribbon, Glue Dots, Circle Punch (retired- for inside notch), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I kept this design flat and simple since I had so many to make and mail out!

They were so fun to create and I hope all the recipients loved it!

I made 15 of these and sent them to my teammates and in return I got the same amount back. Each one is different which is why I loved doing the swaps!

I learned to make this style of gift card/money holder thru Splitcoaststampers many years ago and have always stuck to making this style each & every year. There is nothing complicated about it so I guess that's why I still use this today!

My thoughts today...

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!
