A Gift For You!

Today is my older son's birthday! Happy Birthday, Doug! I love you! So I've had birthday on the brain for a while, trying to come up with a fun way to present a gift card.

This fun gift card holder is basically a 4.25" x 4.25" card with a 1.25" fold over the top. I used my new JustRite Birthday Wishes Borders & Centers set with a 2-3/8" Wood Block to make the tag for the front. As you can see, I used my circle Nestabilities in several sizes to cut and layer. The wavy border is an EK Success punch.

The sentiment on the inside is also from the Birthday Wishes stamp set. I just used a corner rounder on the edges to make it about the size and shape of a gift card. Remember that you can click on the photos to get a larger view.

The designer paper is all from the Cosmo Cricket Snorkel Paper Crafting Kit . I love those fun summer colors! The green cardstock is Kiwi Prismatics .

The circles around the sentiment were cut from the Snorkel paper using two punches from my Easy Brad Maker Kit . The largest circle was cut using a small nestability circle. I added a couple of Dew Drops to the circles for some dimension and texture.


This last photo is to show you how I attached the Snorkel Ribbon to the tag. I punched a circle from Kiwi Prismatics cardstock, then used my SU! slot punch to make two holes for the ribbon. Worked perfectly!
