This month I wanted to challenge myself and add a little variety to class, so we made a gift card with a secret compartment for a gift card!
My sister-in-law, Lisa, turned me on to this one. We were talking about the a new bundle in the Annual Stampin' Up! catalog, Stitched All Around and she asked me if I had seen the zipper card made with this set. I hadn't so, she sent me a link and I set off to come up with one for class.
I wanted to stamp an arrow of some kind on the part that zippers off and found one from a retired Christmas set. My class stamped it in Mossy Meadow, instead of the Old Olive here and it shows up much better.
We also punched a couple of 1/2" circles in Old Olive to put on the end of the zipper to make it easier to grab hold of. One of my independent thinkers put on on each end since my stamp had arrows going both ways. :-)
See the cute little pocket with the gift card secreted away! I combined a couple of different ideas I found on Pinterest.
When making this card, make sure that you do not seal the bottom before you slip in the gift card.
I like to used the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets when I am working with intricate dies, like the Happy Birthday. I've seen a few methods on how to apply. For me, I've found it easiest if I cut a piece of cardstock and adhesive sheet the same size. Peel off the protective waxy sheet exposing the adhesive then attach it to the cardstock. I then cut place the Framelit die on top of the cardstock and run it through my Big Shot. You may have a little extra cardstock left over with the adhesive, but I save those bits to use for another project, if the size warrants it.
The DSP that we used is retired, but this would work with any DSP.
What makes the zipper your ask? Well, its one of the bars shown above, the top one. It makes cute little perforations and you will need to run it through twice about 1/2 inch apart. The other bar makes little xxxxx's
I love this Framelit set, it can be used with so many stamp sets in so many ways. I'd love to see what you come up with! Share it on my FB page, Cottage Lane Stamper & Friends.
Here are the supplies, which you can purchase here. I appreciate all my customers. Make sure that you use the current host code, which can be found on the right side of my home page.
