Gift Card Holder

Happy Friday Stampers!

Those of you that participated in my July Summer stamp project last month received the Cute Fruit as the stamp set. This was a gift card holder that I made as a Thank-you to go along with the project. To make the gift card holder you will need a piece of Whisper white card stock 4.25 x 8.5. You will score it on the landscape side (8.5 side) at 2 and 6.5. I then stamped the fruit on the top portion and the back side of the holder. My colors are Bumblebee, Just Jade Flirty Flamingo and Magenta Madness. I then added a piece of designer series paper from the Flowers for Every season 2 x 4.25 on the bottom. You can see in the next photo, I took a 1″ circle punch and made a notch, It just makes it easier to pull the gift card out. The greeting is from Itty Bitty Birthdays page 107 in the annual catalog. I stamped it in Magenta Madness ink and die cut with the shape from Stitched so sweetly dies. I then cut 18″ of the gingham 1/4″ ribbon (pg 161) and wrapped around the gift card, and after I tied the bow off to the side and had it exactly where I wanted it, I put a glue dot in the center of the ribbon to hold it in place, and then added a adhesive to the top of the greeting and attached to the ribbon also. That way when the bow is untied it all stays in place.
