Tutorial: Watercolor Gift Card Holder + Giveaway
Hello Everyone, welcome back for another Pretty Pink Posh tutorial.
The holidays are coming up and some may be opting for gift cards instead of gift wrapping. This tutorial will help you use your different die-cuts that you might already have on hand to create a holder for gift cards. For this project I used the new released Holiday Pals stamp set, Holiday Pals coordinating dies, Rainy Days stamp set, Rainy Days coordinating dies, along with the 6mm Clear Droplets and 4mm Clear Droplets.
To begin, I first watercolored the background for my card panel. Then I stamped the images from Holiday Pals and Rainy Days stamp sets on a watercolor paper and watercolored each image and used the coordinating die-cuts for each one. To watercolor each images I used the Zig Clean Real Brush 60 set, which really versatile. If you don’t want to color it directly on the watercolor paper you can put down the color on the acrylic block and use your wet paint brush to get the color from the block and start watercoloring this way.
To begin my holder for the gift card, I cut a piece of cardstock bigger than the gift card and traced the lines using the gift card and used the lines as guide on where to put the die-cut. Like the picture below, I left the top part of the cardstock and the die-cut hanging, this will avoid cutting when you ran the plate through the machine.
The cloud die cut from the Rainy Days coordinating dies is really pretty holding the Gift Card. You can try using different kinds of die-cuts to create your own designs for your Gift Card holder.
This is just another look of the Gift Card adhered inside of the card.
Finally, I adhered the pieces from Holiday Pals and Rainy Days using foam tape and finished it off with lots of 6mm & 4mm Clear Droplets using the Multi Medium Matte adhesive. It’s the best for little embellishments!
