Gift Card Holder

Isn’t it scary when something is wrong with your computer?  What the heck did we do without them?   I’m happy to say that my computer problems have been solved by the nice man at the Apple store!

Here is the card I made a few days ago but couldn’t post until now.  My inspiration came from Ronda Wade.  I modified it just a bit and turned it into a gift card holder.  Gift Card Holder

I made my card  using paper from the  Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper that you can get free with a $50 order! You can make three holders with just one sheet of paper.  Here are the measurements:

DSP:  4 x 12   Score at 1- 3/4″ & 7- 1/8″  Use sticky strip to seal up the edges

Front flap:   Basic Gray:  4-1/4″ x 2- 3/4″          Whisper White:  4″ x 2- 1/2″

Piece inside for gift card (I adhered the gift card with glue dots):  3-1/4″  x  5-1/8″       I used my  Small Oval Punch to make it easier to get the gift card out.

My sentiment comes from the set Simply Celebrate.  I love the font that is used to write Enjoy.

My sentiment is from the set Yippee-Skippee (Wood 131341  Clear 131344) and I cut it out with one of the shapes in the Starburst Framelits dies from the Occasions Catalog (132967).

I tied it up with our Ruffle Stretch Trim in Crisp Cantaloupe (130021) and Whisper White Baker’s Twine (124262).  My thanks go to Angie Juda for this cute idea!

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by today!

Family Time!

It has been a fun week with my family.  My husband, Mark,  our daughter, Jenny, and I  went wine tasting for the first time.  We had a delicious lunch and then did some wine tasting!  IMG_1163 IMG_1161 IMG_1156

Earlier in the week we took our granddaughter to the park.  I love this picture of Mark and Audrey walking up the hill.

Last night Jenny, Erin, Tyler, Audrey and I went out to dinner.  It is always fun to go out!  Audrey was hungry while we waited for our dinner, but she had a good time “coloring” with her crayons and putting them back in the box. So cute, but of course, I think everything that Audrey does is cute!!

Hello

helloToday I have a card for you using two new products from the Occasions catalog that I used for the first time on this card!  The first one is the Arrows Textured Impressions embossing folder (#132187).  At first I refrained from buying this folder but after seeing it used to make so many cute cards on the internet, I wanted to purchase it!

The second new item is my sentiment.  It comes from the set Simply Celebrate (see below) and it can be purchased in either wood (133221) or clear (133224).  I only wanted the “hello” part of the stamp, not the part that says, please take a seat.  In order to do this, I put blue painters tape – I had some sitting right there on my craft table but any tape will work – over the part I didn’t want on my card.  I inked the stamp up and pulled off the tape before stamping.   Have you tried this technique before?

Simply CelebrateMy Crisp Cantaloupe twine is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack, which is a Sale-a-bration freebie and one that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase!
