Welcome to our 1st Stamp Simply Clear Stamp Release and Blog Hop.
We showed you all the stamps included in this release on yesterday’s blog post and today we have even more inspiration to share from our super talented Design Team. Be sure you hop on over to each of their blogs as one of the NEW stamp sets is being given away on EACH blog participating today. All you have to do to be in the running to win a stamp set is comment. A comment on each blog participating gives you that many chances to win. A quick link list will be provided at the end of this post. Fun!!!
You can find the Full Release of Stamp Simply Clear Stamps here.
We have many cards to share today and I’ll start with my simple Wedding Gift Card Holder. Remember yesterday I said I needed 3 wedding cards for this Saturday – 2 down now, 1 to go!
There’s a whole lot of shiny going on here, thus the glare. The upper designer paper is metallic, mirror silver paper is framing the sentiment, which is silver embossed, and metallic string was used as our ribbon today.
This is a gift card holder made from 12″ paper. The end result is A2 sized – 5.5 x 4.25″.
Cut paper 4.25 x 12″. Score at 2 and 7.5. Fold and secure the 2″ flap with tape to form the pocket. Decorate away!
Here’s the inside. The pocket is folded and taped up and a simple Congratulations was adhered up higher. A gift card will be inserted into the pocket so I wanted to make sure any message was up high enough so as not to be covered by the gift card.

What a fun card design! Absolutely love it!!!

And here’s the card inside which didn’t photo the best. The real life version is super lovely.
