Gift Card Box with Makers Movement

Making a gift box for use with a gift card with the Makers Movement. #sponsored @jointhemakersmovement

I am making a gift card box with a die from the Makers Movement. It is part of the Donut Box set. The donut box die has a coordinating stamp set making them so useful. No longer will you need to buy packaging for a gift card. You can make your own gift box and stylize it for the occasion.

The Donut Box die and stamps work together so well and can be used in a variety of different ways. Aren’t those donut stamps cute? They have coordinating dies to cut them out!

I planned on using the Special Delivery stamp as a surprise under the gift card inside the box but I totally forgot about it until after I was finished with the gift card box! – Oh well, next time.

CrossOver II from the Makers Movement was used with the Donut Box dies to cut the card stock. Be sure to check out the tip in the video tutorial below, I am not sure the die is meant to be used this way, but it worked for me. (notice the washi tape)

Links below are affiliates, thank you for considering to use them.

Materials:

1/4″ double-sided tape
white card stock
vellum
blue bakers twine
blue satin ribbon
CrossOver II

I wonder how you would use this die and stamp set? If for a gift card as I did, what card you would include? Let me know in the comments below.

Follow along as I made a motion card using a die from TLC Designs.

I received this Double Dial Die from TLC Designs. This is my first time using a die with motion or activity and making a motion card. The process is rather two-fold in that you put the mechanism together and then design the visual elements for the card. It was fun trying to decide what images would work well with the motion.

Materials:

Double Dial Die
Hampton Art stamp set
CrossOver II
Mini Maker
leaf die
3 ink pads

foam tape squares
scissors
white card stock
brads

Directions:

This is the die and stamp set that was used.

Unboxing Sizzix Sidekick

I have wanted a small die-cut machine for a while now. I don’t want to lug out my larger die cutting machine for small quick uses. This Sidekick can be left on my crafting table without taking up too much space. So far, I am really happy with it. In the video below I walk you through the unboxing and first use.
