IT'S A PUFFIN PARTY!!!!!! TWO UNIQUE GIFT CARD HOLDERS and a TREAT BOX featuring the PARTY PUFFIN STAMP SET

 


I've always been a push over for cute animal stamp sets and the PARTY PUFFIN Stamp Set caught my eye in the new Annual Catalog.  It's perfect for any celebration projects you may need to create.  I really had fun creating this fold out gift card holder.  The pocket is on the center panel of the fold out.  This card is so festive and the cute little partying puffins make it look adorable.


This stamp set has adorable puffin images and great sentiments for the occasion.


The Designer Series Paper I used is the amazing hostess pack called PATTERN PARTY. The colors are so beautiful and the back sides of the paper give you the black and white option.


Project #1- FUN FOLD GIFT CARD HOLDER

Start with a BERMUDA BAY card base cut at 4-1/4in by 5-1/2in.  Layer a piece of PATTERN PARTY DSP measuring 4in by 5-1/4in on top of the card base. 

For the “fold out” piece, use a piece of BERMUDA BAY cut at 9-3/4in by 4-1/4in and scored at 3-1/4in and 6-1/2in.  Adhere the back panel of the “fold out” to a PUMPKIN PIE card panel cut at 3-1/8in by 4in.  Then adhere the entire “fold out” portion to the card base. 

For the panels on the “fold out” section, cut DSP at 3-1/2in by 4-1/2in.  Pocket panel for the center panel is a piece of GRANNY APPLE GREEN card cut at 3-1/8in by 2in.  DSP to layer on pocket is 3in by 1-7/8in.  . 

To embellish the card, stamp the party hat puffin, the dancing puffin and the birthday cake on a scrap of BASIC WHITE and color using the PUMPKIN PIE, MANGO MELODY, GRANNY APPLE GREEN BERMUDA BAY and POPPY PARADE BLENDS.  Fussy cut these images.  For the front panel, stamp the HAPPY BIRTHDAY image in BERMUDA BAY across the panel as shown.  Die cut a POOL PARTY label die from the STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES and place it on the front panel using DIMENSIONALS. Adhere the party hat puffin and the cake to the front of the card as shown.  Stamp HAPPY BIRTHDAY image on a 5/8in strip of BASIC WHITE and adhere to the card front using TOMBOW. 

For the center panel of the “fold out”, adhere a piece of DSP measuring 3in by 4in. Then adhere the pocket panel to the panel using TEAR & TAPE on three sides.  Using DIMENSIONALS, adhere the dancing puffin to the pocket.  Stamp the YOU’RE THE BEST sentiment using BERMUDA BAY INK on BASIC WHITE card stock, cut it out using a 1in CIRCLE PUNCH and adhere it to the right side of the pocket using DIMENSIONALS.  

For the last panel, use a 3in by 4in piece of BASIC WHITE card stock.  Stamp the MAKE A WISH sentiment using BERMUDA BAY INK. In the bottom right-hand corner, stamp the small puffin using MEMENTO INK.  Color the puffin with PUMPKIN PIE and MANGO MELODY BLENDS.   Finally, stamp the fish image on a scrap of BASIC WHITE card stock using MEMENTO INK.  Color using PUMPKIN PIE and REAL RED BLENDS.  Fussy cut the image and adhere it to the fins of the puffin using TOMBOW.


PROJECT #2- PARTY PUFFINS KISSES AND GIFT CARD HOLDER

Start with a piece of GRANNY APPLE GREEN card stock, cut a 6-3/4in by 9-3/4in.  Score on the SHORT side at 1in and 5-3/4in.  On the LONG side, score at 2-3/4in, 5-1/4in, 6-1/4in, 7-1/4in, 8-1/4in and 9-1/4in.  Below is a picture of the template after cutting.



Cut two strips of DSP at 7/8in by 4-5/8in and adhere them to the first two box panels.  Using the STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES, cut a window in the center of the second panel.  Before assembling the box, adhere a 4-5/8in by 2-1/2in piece of DSP on the largest panel.  On the back of the smaller panel, adhere a 4-5/8in by 2-3/8in piece of BASIC WHITE card stock with a 5/8in strip of DSP along the bottom and the HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment stamped in MEMENTO BLACK INK.  Assemble the box by placing TEAR & TAPE on the thin panel, fold in the large panel (don’t forget to put a piece of TEAR & TAPE on the inside left of the panel to form the pocket for the gift card). Using a 1-3/8in CIRCLE PUNCH create a notch on the right side of the panel to allow for easy removal of the gift card by the recipient.

To embellish the front, die cut a PUMPKIN PIE scalloped rectangle die from the STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES and adhere it to the front of the gift card panel.  Stamp a dancing puffin and a cake on a scrap of BASIC WHITE card stock using MEMENTO INK.  Color the images using the PUMPKIN PIE, MANGO MELODY, POOL PARTY, GRANNY APPLE GREEN and FLIRTY FLAMINGO BLENDS. Fussy cut the images and place them on the front using DIMENSIONALS.  Stamp the MAKE A WISH! sentiment on a 1/2in strip of PALE PAPAYA using MEMENTO BLACK INK.  Adhere the banner to the top left corner with DIMENSIONALS.

To place the kisses in the box, adhere them to a strip of GRANNY APPLE GREEN card stock cut at 7/8in by 4-5/8in using TEAR & TAPE.  Slide the strip into the box and adhere the end flaps to close.


Start with a piece of POOL PARTY card stock cut at 8in by 5in. Score the SHORT side at 1in on both ends.  On the LONG side, score at 1in, 3-1/2in, 4-1/2in and 7in.  Crease all the score lines using a BONE FOLDER and cut the card stock like the template pictured below.

 


Using TOMBOW, put glue on all the flaps and assemble the box.  Use a 1in CIRCLE PUNCH to place a notch on the front panel. Adhere a piece of DSP to the top of the box cut at 2-7/8in by 2-3/8in.

To embellish the box, start with a MANGO MELODY label die cut using the STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES.  Adhere that to the top of the box.  On a scrap of BASIC WHITE card stock, stamp the dancing puffin and the cake image in MEMENTO BLACK INK.  Color the images using the MANGO MELODY, PUMPKIN PIE, POOL PARTY, GRANNY APPLE GREEN and POPPY PARADE BLENDS.  Fussy cut those images and adhere them to the box using DIMENSIONALS.  Finally, stamp the HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment on a 1/2in strip of FLIRTY FLAMINGO and adhere it to the box.
