Crafting a Ladybug Card with a hidden pocket to stash a gift-card, cash or fun momento

Lady Bug Gift Card Holder Die

Creating a Fun and Feminine Greeting Card with hidden pocket featuring the Ladybug Die Set from Pajama Crafter Stamps 🌼🐞

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I’m excited to share a delightful project featuring the Ladybug Gift Card Holder Die Set paired with some of the fantastic patterned papers from Pajama Crafter Stamps! This combination is perfect for creating a charming gift card and greeting card set that’s both functional and beautiful.

What You’ll Need:

  • Ladybug Gift Card Holder Die Set
  • The Bees Knees 6×6 Paper Pack
  • Enamel Dots in coordinated colors
  • Solid white cardstock
  • Chipboard for reinforcement
  • Coloring mediums of your choice for your ladybug and flower
    • I used Copic Markers, White Gel Pen and coordinating Distress Ink for blending the edges.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Cut Your Die Cuts: Begin by cutting out all the die cuts from the Ladybug set using solid white cardstock. This will provide a sturdy base for your project.
  2. Reinforce Your Pieces: To make sure that your gift card holder can withstand multiple hands touching it, reinforce each die cut with chipboard. This not only makes it durable but also gives a polished look while reducing warping during mailing.
  3. Decorate: Use your favorite coloring tools to color the ladybug and flower die cuts. Feel free to choose any color scheme that you think your recipient would enjoy! The versatility of this die set allows you to customize it to fit any occasion.
  4. Assemble the Gift Card Holder: Once everything is colored and dried, assemble the gift card holder. It should have a snug pocket that can hold not just gift cards, but also cash or even a treasured photo from a special day.
  5. Finalize Your Card: Arrange the elements on top of an A2 sized card panel and embellish with patterned papers for a card and gift combo that anyone would love to receive!

Why I Love This Project:
This project showcases the creativity possible with products from a small, family-owned business right here in the USA. The Ladybug Gift Card Holder Die Set is not only fun to work with, but it also allows for personalization, making your gifts unique and heartfelt.

I hope you enjoy this crafting adventure as much as I did! Don’t forget to check out Pajama Crafter Stamps to see all the amazing products they have to offer. Happy crafting! 💖
