Sparkle - die cutting, embossing, gift card holder


My make for today is a combo tag and gift card pocket using die cuts with a glitzy cardstock to make the pocket and a fun sentiment from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Putting It Together

This is my equivalent of 'popping a single' when I would really like to set up a triple axel (I love watching figure skating). It wasn't the "not a card" project I was wanting to make this month, but one that really sparkles on its own :)


I used dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs and Scrapbooking Made Simple to cut the pieces for the tag and pocket.


I ended up cutting a bigger tag so I could have room for a sentiment, too, when I found my first dry fit was too small. After dry-fitting the second time, I trimmed off the bottom of the tag.


To make the pocket, I used foam mounting tape on 3 sides, leaving the top open.


I stamped the sentiment and embossed the 'sparkle' with sparkly iridescent powder. I then added rhinestones and flowers with rhinestones for more sparkle. The gift card will be visible through the open work of the die cut.
