Gift Card Holders - 3 Ways + Sentiment Tips

[@cherylhamilton6722]

Jennifer, your enthusiasm and vast cardmaking skill set has changed my world... and my family and friends world because they get my fun, cute cards that you have helped inspire. I started learning about cardmaking from you! I am a nurse, my daughter is a nurse, my son is a fire fighter, my sister is a teacher, my daughter in law is a teacher... so I am so appreciative of all the beautiful cards you have delivered to hospitals. You inspired me to make some cards to deliver to one of our community hospitals. I delivered 42 cards. Due to COVID 19 restrictions, I had to deliver them to a security guard outside the hospital. It warmed my heart when the security guards face lit up with a big smile when I told her what the delivery was. Thanks for inspiring us to learn and have fun! You ROCK!

[@laylabridges4237]

From one long time healthcare worker to someone who truly appreciates all they do, it means the world to me & I'm sure to other healthcare workers as well!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO TOO!!!!!!

[@createwithkas]

From the colors to the sweet designs, these are just amazing! You constantly inspire the world with your creativity and sprinkle it with color - what a joy to see you are part of the community collaboration! Thanks for sharing!

[@JenniferCHO78]

Thank you for showcasing techniques that don't require a specific die or stamp set, particularly when it comes to gift cards. And thank you for supporting The Stamping Village and Save The Children!

[@deniseward6207]

Wow! These cards are really spectacular! The people blessed to receive them will not only appreciate the gift cards but also your thoughtfulness and creativity with how these cards are made!! The images, sentiments and colors are very encouraging and show how much you think of those who are serving their community during this difficult time. Thanks for the great tutorial and thanks to the Stamping Village for this great collaboration which benefits children. ❤️

[@marygillmarten6758]

Jennifer, these cards are so clever -- and the sentiment stamping/cutting is a new trick to me -- so simple but so clever! thank you for your card making for those on the front lines -- my sister is a nurse, I've been sewing masks for her hospital and others here in the DC area, fire stations, police stations (I've hooked up with a VERY organized group of volunteers). But my sister's face is raw with sores, her already dry eye condition is aggravated to the point of requiring new medication, she's been sent home by her boss! She remains so positive despite it all it's hard to believe!

[@lizjutila6020]

Part of what's fun about watching your videos is watching how you change your mind sometimes! We all hold our breath when you lift up the coffee cup strip from the first card in order to mat it with the white, then breathe a sigh of relief when it works out! Great samples, and I can't wait to get this stamp set, it's on its way!

[@debbiethomas3517]

Your tips and ingenuity and talent are beyond descriptions! I can’t love your videos enough! And I so love that you’re so generous with nurses caring for covid patients.

[@kathyw948]

Very clever card designs! My favorite one is the card with the gift card that slides up. The tips for stamping and cutting sentiment strips are invaluable. Jennifer McGuire is a genius.

[@ShermaBurgins]

You continue to inspire and amaze me with your creativity and community spirit, so I'm not surprised that you're a part of this collaboration. Thanks for inspiring both through kindness and creativity. You have a gift; you execute it well, and I continue to learn from you. Beautiful ideas and cards as usual.

[@beccaneeley4389]

Beautiful card designs! My favorite is the second where the gift card is coming out of the box. You are so kind to give cards and gifts to essential workers! ❤️

[@danyelledillon3605]

My favorite is the gift card sliding out to be revealed! Such ingenious card designs. You are so talented. Love the stamps!

[@tasst2674]

So awesome that these companies work together to help save the children, but it also helps our stamping community. Well done. Love your cards and techniques always a Jennifer. Thank you!

[@stacycakamams4873]

[@lizford2498]

Jennifer, once again you have come up with some really fun cards for our support and essential personal. I am sure the folks you are thanking will appreciate your gesture a lot. Cheers to you and the Stamping Village for these fun creations and donations.

[@angiebartos4074]

I like these card holder suggestions better than anything else I’ve seen. The sentiments go perfectly with the cards. And the patchwork design is a wonderful way to incorporate lots of emotions in one card.

[@debraforsyth3908]

You are such a genuine person....& I love to watch you craft. These cards are simple, yet beautiful. You inspire me more than you will ever know! Thanks for all you do & are!

[@pambeadles9040]

The gift card holders are amazing and the different options of making three different ones. I love your methods of mass producing sentiments and showing how you do that. You are a great inspiration. The sentiments from the stamping village are exceptional. Thank you for once again sharing your ideas.

[@TheShartl]

I send a lot of gift cards so these gift card holders are a favorite project. Thank you for sharing all the different styles of holder, and showcasing so many different products and companies. LOVE these!

[@terismith4333]

Thank you for showing how to make gift card holders that don't require specialty dies Jennifer. I appreciate the tip on making sure sentiments are straight & having them perfectly spaced to make cutting easy. Love the narrow look of them. I am so pleased to be part of a crafting community where craft companies come together in a spirit of co-operation to support a worthy cause.

[@andreah993]

I can't believe the talent you have Jennifer! You certainly make everything look so easy to do. I absolutely love the 3 gift card holders, I'm sure the 3 people will be over the moon when you gift these to them. Thank you soooo much for sharing your fabulous experience with us all and also Thank you for being in this wonderful blog hop. Take care, keep safe and keep crafting. X X X

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

[@chandhini22]

[@4wandsand2swords]

What a fun thing to do with sentiment strips!! And I love the gift card holder being right on the front of that card. Stamping Village is such a neat collaboration!

[@karenladd1]

You always share the best tips, ideas, and techniques Jennifer, and I love these clever gift card holders. That pop-up design is my favorite too, but they would all bring a smile to the recipient's face. Thank you for inspiring us !

[@paulapenninella7343]

Another great set from The Stamping Village. Another great set of ideas from Jennifer. I love all that The Stamping Village does for the community and what it represents. Thank you for being one of their biggest voices on why cooperation wins over competition every time.

[@laneburchnall8371]

These cards are awesome and amazing and so are you for making and giving all these cards (and all the ones on other videos of yours) to the people on the front lines! Thanks to the Stamping Village for working together to donate to such a worthy cause as well. HUGS!

[@tashafreeman4265]

The handle to cut thinner strips! Once again you've blown my mind! It was truly a "DOH!" moment... Thanks for the awesome tip 😊

[@mariaisdeanda8673]

Thank you sharing your amazing talent with all your viewers. I love all the cards. Having a mentor like you that help us get more ideas, is awesome.

Many Blessings! Maria from Texas.

[@Favorites2012mine]

Love these ideas for using my sentiment stamps. It's always nice to get more mileage from our stamps. I think my favorite gift card presentation is the slider. I see that application useful for other things, like critters or butterflies. Thanks for your contribution to this wonderful collaboration!

[@jang4855]

I love the way you creatively showed how to give gift cards in a card and the way you cut the sentiments to save time. Love, love, love your many ideas and techniques....

[@kayfurnish8715]

Perfect timing for these cards because I just bought three Starbucks gift cards for our delivery and pharmacy workers. I love how these cards turned out, so thanks once again for sharing your Engineering brain with the rest of us!

[@karenj5679]

Love this Stamping Village set! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me ! Love how you incorporated so many of the sentiments to create these wonderful gift card holders. Always appreciate the helpful hints you give along the way too!

[@tinamariehenry7251]

Jennifer, I can’t thank you enough for the multiple sentiment tip. Having extra sentiments really aid in quickly assembling a card….and the handle idea….revolutionary! 😊

[@cynthiashelton3825]

Couldn't sleep, so what did I do? Get up for a light snack and watch another one of your amazing card videos. Thanks for sharing your whole process, changes and all. It's encouraging to those of us who can be hard on ourselves. Ok ... back to bed now 😴

[@krmttlr]

Adorable cards, love the gift card ideas. You make it look so easy and come up with brilliant ideas. Donating to help the children should be praised.

[@lauriepickerel3148]

I love that idea of how you created multiple sentiment strips. You have so many good ideas! And your cards are wonderful. I'm always looking for new ways to display a gift card. Thank you!

Who doesn't love a gift card? The Stamping Village stamp set is so awesome to show our appreciation these days. So many to be grateful for.

[@MarciaFellner]

Your techniques and ideas continually amaze me. I often find myself working on a card, thinking about something you shared on a video and then going back to the video to see it again. I also love how you showcase many different companies. The Stamping Village set is a fabulous collaboration.

[@jennifermcguireink]

hi! you won! can you please email me via my webiste so i can get your address? go to "contact me"

[@bonnieking2308]

Wonderful ideas for giving gift cards. Love that the messages on this special collaborative set are encouraging for the recipients, but also for us card makers. You do so much for this community - and for the greater world community. Thanks for all you do. Seriously.

[@nicoleengland9223]

At 17:40 minutes, I knew that I would be in trouble when you lined up the bottom and side edges. I can't even line up one edge, let alone three, so I guess that is another reason I think you are amazing. Thank you for these cards and the sentiment behind them. I too am a nurse, so I know that if someone was as generous as you to make me something like this, I would be very moved. Thank you a million times😘

[@janetgaines4535]

The first one you made gave me an idea of creating a card that looks shirt pocket with the gift card sticking out! You always have such wonderful ideas! Thank you for all you do!

[@heidirees9647]

So kind and thoughtful of you to give to nurses during this COVID crisis! As a fellow nurse I certainly appreciate all the love shown to nurses throughout the world! These are such great ideas for holding gift cards! The slide up card was also my favorite! Thank you for the appreciation shown and the inspiration! Hope you and your loved ones are healthy! I pray for my mother-in-law and hope she’s doing well!

[@09mclemens]

I always think of you whenever a new Stamping Village collection comes out! Such a wonderful collection!

The idea of doing sentiment strips like you have is so quick and easy, I can't believe I've never thought of it. Thank goodness for your videos. 💜

[@jalh3]

I actually thought these were made with patterned paper from the photo. I can't believe you stamped and cut them all and they don't look at all wonky. Bravo!

[@pomerx2]

What a great way to make a bunch of sentiment strips quickly! I love the pop of green too...great color combo.

[@karlapostell782]
