ne of the best parts of summer camp? The pranks. Not the mean or messy ones—but the lighthearted, laugh-until-you-snort kind. Like the time someone moved a bunk bed out onto the lawn. Or when we short-sheeted our counselor’s bed. Or swapped out the overhead cabin bulb for a disco light. Classic.

Tonight’s Camp Wow! project channels that same spirit of surprise—but with glue dots instead of glitter bombs. 
​
We’re crafting a fun and unexpected pop-out gift card holder—a clever little box that’s perfect for gift-giving and guaranteed to get a smile.

Check Out the Surprise Inside This Gift Card Holder!

For Night 2 of Camp Wow!, we’re making a pop-out gift card holder—a box that slides open to reveal three tiny boxes that pop out like magic. It’s unexpected and totally delightful. Inside, there’s a spot for a gift card and maybe even a little treat or message in each box.

I used the playful Turtle-y Cute patterned paper along with the hilarious Not 29 Anymore stamp set from Stampin’ Up!®. The fresh color combo of Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green keeps things vibrant and fun—just like the sentiments in this set. (Because who doesn’t love a good birthday giggle?)

This project is perfect for birthdays, graduations, teacher gifts, or any moment when you want to give something a little extra.
