Gift Card Holder

Good morning everyone.  Today I am playing along with the challenge over at Caardvarks - create a gift card holder.  I give lots of gift cards at Christmas - only because people are so difficult to shop for - I would rather give a gift card so that they can get something that they really want instead of giving them something that will just be put into a closet.  I personally love getting gift cards simply because I love shopping!!!

My gift card holder was created using my Cricut Expression along with the Trim The Tree cartridge.  I purchased this cartridge (early Christmas gift for me) during my Black Friday shopping.  The images are very "lacy" looking. 

The center image is from the "A Merry Little Christmas" set by JustRite, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, colored with Copics, and punched with a SU circle punch.

This is a look at the inside area which holds the gift card.  I pulled out my neglected sewing machine to stitch the holder section.  The stamped image is from 2 JustRite stamp sets - "Hearts Come Home" and "From Our House", stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and Memento Cottage Ivy and colored with Copics.  The border is diecut with Spellbinders Labels 1.

This photo shows a closeup of the gift card pocket.

That's it for today.  Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  Have a great day!!

Good morning everyone.  I don't have a project to share with you today but I did want to let you know that I will be participating in the Scrap-Mart blog hop on Friday December 3.  You are going to want to check this out - there are going to be lots of great prizes up for grabs.



Hopefully I will have a chance to be creative today and get a project posted to share tomorrow.

Dream

Good afternoon everyone.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and ate lots and lots of yummy food.  I know that I did!!  I originally had this card ready to post yesterday but I did "Black Friday" shopping instead.  I got some really great deals but the crowds of people are unbelievable!!!  Glad it only comes once a year.

My card is based on this weeks sketch over at CPS.  It is a fairly simple sketch but the possibilities with it are endless.

My focal point sentiment comes from the newly released Cling set by JustRite Stampers called "Garden Fairy Wishes".  These new cling sets are so adorable!!

I stamped the image with Memento Rich Cocoa
