Group Challenge: Stylish Gift Cards

Hey there!  It's a super fun day around the blog-o-sphere today.  The gals from Clear & Simple Stamps are at it again with another fun group challenge.  This month we are using the stamp set Just My Style to make some stylish gift card holders.   


When I finally came up with the concept for my card, I ran with it.  I had so much fun cutting out and arranging those purses.

I pulled all the papers I used from the same collection so it would be easy to coordinate the purses.  Look at all that dimension.  I intentionally left off the sentiment so it can be used for any occasion, plus there wasn't mush room for one.

And this is the inside of the card.  I stamped the hanger image in red and then "tied" the gift card to the hanger.  

 

Kohl's is where I usually buy my purses, so I thought that was very appropriate for this card.  

We have a lot more stylish gift card holders to show you if you just click on the following DT member's sites.

Noel Gift Card Holders...

Hello! I have so many things I should be doing right now, but I am still in need of a few more gift card holders. I made these this morning and they have a sort of vintage feel using papers from Graphic 45, Christmas Past. These cards are just slightly larger than a gift card at 4.25" x 2.75". The card base is kraft, though you cannot see it. I love how the gold ribbon and embossing adds a touch of holiday flair. I almost forgot to mention that these card use a flipped Mojo Monday sketch.

Hope you are having a productive day. I'm crossing things off my to-do list as I type this. I just got all my Christmas cards sent out and hope to share those with you later this week. Have a great day!!!

Season's Greetings Holiday Card

Hello! I made this cute little card this morning. It is a CASE of a card I saw somewhere, and can't seem to find this morning to link it. So sorry about that. Anyway, I made this card to fit a gift card, since I am in need of a bunch of gift card holders this year. I used this tutorial and the finished dimensions are 4" x 4" with the eight 1.25" squares.
Here's the inside and then a close-up of the front.
Have a great day everyone! I have some fun stuff planned for this week!!!

Merry Christmas Gift Card Holders...

Like I said yesterday, I'll be making a bunch of gift card holders. These two are pretty much the same, just different orientations. They are for men, so no fluffy ribbon, flowers, or rhinestones. Once again I used my own tutorial as a guideline.

And here's the inside:

Have a great day!!!

Paper Maniac Wednesday - Gift Card Holder

It's Paper Maniac Wednesday here on my blog! We've been talking a lot about last minute gifts on the Paper Maniac Blog. I think a lot of people use gift cards for last minute gifts so I made up a gift card holder. I used this tutorial that I made last year. I altered the dimensions a bit to make a rectangular card instead of a square. My finished card size is 3.25" x 4.25". I'm giving a lot of gift cards this year, so you'll get to see a bunch in the coming weeks.

Make sure you check out the Paper Maniac Store. They have a big sale going on right now!!!

Birthday Wishes Gift Card Holder...

Hello there and happy Friday! I loved the idea of today's limited supply challenge at SCS and I just had to play. Today is Wendy's birthday (the challenge hostess) and she had some special requests for our creations today. There were 3 stipulations. Your card must be a money/gift card holder, have a butterfly on it, and use something chocolate in color.

Now, I haven't made a gift card holder in quite some time, so I had to go back and find my gift card holder tutorial. The finished card is 3" x 4.5", a little smaller than the tutorial card.

Here's what the inside looks like.

Gift Card Holder

Hello! Today I made this manly (I hope) gift card holder. Actually I made two identical ones. We have a bunch of golfers in my family, so I thought the golf theme fit perfectly. I got the idea and the dimensions for my gift card from these cards on Sharon Johnson's blog. This card is like a little wallet, you lift up the top flap and the bottom flap holds in your gift card. I will put a sporting goods store gift card in there when it's time. I'm not crazy about the colors, but when I started out, I was going to put some golf stickers on that matched perfectly, then changed my mind. Thanks for looking!
