Gift Card Holder

I made this gift card holder for my mom to give the kids. Can you believe... it's made of an envelope and a couple of folds!Soooo stinkin easy!!

 

The red cardstock is cut slightly smaller than the folded envy. I die cut the fancy tag from Spellbinder's Shapeabilities set called Antique Frame and Accents. I used Cuttlebug's Polka Dot embossing folder to give the tag some dimension. Next I cut a black swirl using PoppyStamps die called Ivy Tendrils. I added some more dogwood flowers, like the ones I used on the card.

 

 

 

I got the brilliant idea to use the small flower box die from PoppyStamps Inc. This is one idea that actually looked as cute on paper as it did in my head. (heeheehee) For a little extra dimension is popped the window box up using foam tape. I love dimension!

 

 

Here's a photo of how the envelope looks after it's folded. I'm trying to do a tutorial on this for later in the week. Stay tuned!

Wedding Card

Now that I'm back home I'm able to post the kids' card the way it's supposed to look... not all wonky. The only thing I can think of is that their Wireless wouldn't allow the photos to upload properly.

Brandy's colors were red and black, so I wanted their card to highlight those colors.

 

The background layer is embossed with Cuttlebug's Script Texture. The frame is from Spellbinder's Shapeabilities die set called Antique Frame and Accents.  I didn't like the white frame on the white background so I got creative. I thought it would look good with the kids' names and wedding date sooo... I did a little playing in MSWord to get the type of font and color I wanted. Then it was simply print a few on a sheet of cardstock and die cut.

 

I popped the frame up with foam tape for dimension. Next I cut a black swirl from Cheery Lynn Designs' Fanciful Flourish die. There are two sizes. This is the large one. For the small flowers I used a tiny dogwood punch by CarlaCraft.

 

 

I made the envelope box from a template I've had for years. I used Sizzix's Elegant Bouquet embossing folder which is made for Stampin Up!
