Reindeer Fun: 2 Festive Card Ideas Including a Gift Card Holder!

 

Hello, crafty friends! 🎄✨

I’m so excited to share this week’s projects featuring the Reindeer Fun Stamps & Dies. This versatile set is perfect for holiday crafting, and today I’m showing you how to create two festive cards—including a clever gift card holder that’s sure to impress!

---

Project 1: Gift Card Holder

Need a creative way to present a gift card? This project has you covered! Using the same Reindeer Fun Stamps & Dies, I created a festive card that doubles as a gift card holder. It’s the perfect blend of practical and adorable!

Alternative Tip:Use the dies to cut images directly from the DSP for quick and easy embellishments

Project 2: Layered Reindeer Card

For the second card, I showcased many of the 'Reindeer Fun' dies to create an adorable dimensional card. By combining stamping and die-cutting, the reindeer really pops off the card! To add even more charm, I made this card into a gift card holder.

Tips:

• The dies make it easy to add layers for a 3D look.
• Don’t forget to mix and match patterns from the DSP to create a cohesive but fun layout!

Why You’ll Love These Projects

These cards are packed with holiday cheer and are surprisingly simple to make. The Reindeer Fun Stamps & Dies are so versatile—you can create everything from intricate layered designs to quick projects by cutting out pre-printed images from the DSP.
