I used the Hats Off Bundle along with Biggest Wish and A Grand Kid to make this Slimline Birthday Gift Card for my Grandson. Watch my YouTube video on how I put this card together. Channel - Craft With Barbara Drake
Project Recipe
Instructions: (measurements are in inches)
Shaded Spruce cardstock - Cut card base 8-1/2 x 10. On the 10” edge, score at 3-3/4 and 7-1/2.
Basic Black cardstock 3-1/2 x 8-1/4 (layering piece)
Basic White cardstock 3-1/4 x 8 (stamping piece)
Basic White card stock for Inside piece – 2-1/4 x 8-1/4
Use a bone folder and crease all folds. The smaller fold will be the inside of the card that will hold your gift card or dollar bill(s).
On the basic white cardstock for stamping, stamp out the word “HAPPY” from the stamp set Biggest Wish. I used 3 different inks for this step. Soft Succulent, Basic Gray and Shaded Spruce. Then stamp the word “birthday” from the same stamp set using the same ink colors.
Die cut the large and small baseball caps using Shaded Spruce cardstock.
On the large die cut baseball cap, stamp the baseball cap photopolyer stamp using Memento Black ink. You may prefer to use the Stamparatus to line it up instead of using the clear block.
For the stamped image “To an amazing GRANDSON” from the stamp set, “A Grand Kid”, I used Basic Gray to stamp the image and then die cut out using one of the die shapes from the Hat Builder die set. Adhere this with Stampin Dimensionals to the hat.
Glue or use Stampin’ Seal to adhere each layer onto the card base. Start with the black layer and then the white stamping piece on top.
I used glue to adhere the baseball hat to the top stamping layer but only putting glue on the top part of hat and not the brim. You can fold the brim up along the stitched edge to give it a 3D look.
For the inside flap, use tear and tape on the sides only. Adhere the white layer with adhesive of your choice. Using a circle punch, center the punch in the middle and cut out a moon piece to make it look like a notch. (See picture).
Attach the smaller die cut baseball hat to this inside piece. Use the sentiment of your choice for the inside.
Finished card: 8-1/2 x 3-3/4 when folded.
