Framed Florets tag Gift Card Holder

Do you love giving gift cards to people when they need a present? If you answer is yes, Stampin’ Up! has a wonderful kit available called the Christmas Gifting kit. This kit come with everything that you need to make 9 tags with a gift card holder on the back which have a Christmas feel to them.

I decided that I really like these tags, but what if I wanted them for an occasion other than Christmas? I set about to re-create them – and I think that I succeeded. I used the Framed Florets bundle which will be available in the January – June 2023 mini catalogue, but can be purchased on pre-order from the 4th November. The DSP is Fitting Florets and will only be available during the pre-order period.

I made this is my regular Facebook live last week. You can watch the replay below:
