CardMaker Blog Hop: For You, From Me

 Welcome to another CardMaker Blog hop!  Today we are focusing on last-minute gift card holders. Often a gift card is the perfect way to go during the Christmas season and I love to have several gift card holders on hand to add a personal touch. Here is mine: 

 The gift card base is 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 3", 5 1/2" and 8". I decorated it with patterned paper stamped the sentiment using the blocks and letters from Lots of Letters. This is the newest stamp set Melanie has illustrated for Gina K. Designs and it has so many possibilities!!!

 Here is the inside:

  Be sure to check out the inspiration from the rest of the team.  I know that I am looking forward to seeing the gift card holders everyone has created!!

Technique Challenge

When I saw the Technique Challenge for this week: Pop Up Gift Card I thought I would give it a whirl. I knew the new stamp set from Gina K., My Cuppa' Joe would be perfect for this challenge. Who doesn't love a gift card to Starbucks? (Even for non-coffee drinkers, they have great tea and hot chocolate) I used Cosmo Cricket designer paper and got a bonus because it is double sided :o)) The base of the card is Chocolate Chip and I also used Sage Shadow for the layering.



I paper pieced the coffee bag onto the bag using the other side of the designer paper and stamped coffee in the label box. After the image was stamped and colored, I stamped over it using the Linen BG stamp and Creamy Caramel ink.

Here is what the inside of the card looks like....


As you can see, there is plenty of room to add something to the inside of the card if you wish.
That is all for today. Have a great Tuesday!
