Now that all the gift cards have been given, I can share some gift card holders I made with My Favorite Things, Money Card and Gift Card Pocket dies. I could have made my own, but picked these up on sale and they certainly speeded up the process.
First up, one for my daughter-in-law. She's reads lots of books on her Kindle, so an Amazon gift card seemed just right.
I love this bright pink paper from Gina K, and the striped paper from My Favorite Things' Christmas Cheer pad matched perfectly. The die cut snowflake is also from Gina K--from the Sparkle and Shine kit. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things' Best Gift Ever.
For some sparkle, I added some Iridescent Drops from Pinkfresh Studio which are so beautiful when the light catches them.
Next up is a gift card to a great golf course near us. It's one of the more expensive ones to play so a gift certificate to Ravenwood is always appreciated.
The patterned paper for this card was in my stash of unmarked papers. The images were stamped with an old Papertrey Ink set, On the Links, and the letters from their Headliner Alphabet.
The last gift card was for LL Bean. I didn't have any appropriately themed stamps so went with a Christmas theme, using stamps and a die from My Favorite Things Jingle All the Way set. It has some of my favorite images of Santa. I popped up Santa on an image from Simon Says Ornament Options stamp and die set,
This time I used patterned paper from an old American Craft pad. I couldn't find the name of the paper but it was printed in 2016 which is probably when I purchased it. When I went to add the stitched panel to the stitched rectangle from the Gift Card Pocket it would have covered up all the cool images in the patterned paper, so I embossed the sentiment on another die from the Money Card dies.
The last one was a gift card to a nail salon, and the gift certificate was on a heavy cardstock the size of a business envelope. I found a bright pink slimline envelope that worked perfectly and added three die cut nail polish bottles from My Favorite Things Iconic Beauty set. It was another purchase during a sale. I figured with four granddaughters I'd have plenty of opportunity to use it. And, as it turns out, it' great for an adult as well.
The sentiment is from My Favorite Things Best Gift Ever set, and I coated the polish bottles with Nuvo Crystal glaze for a more realistic look. I CASEd the glittery labels from one of the images on the MFT's site.
As luck would have it, My Favorite Things has a Show Me the Money Challenge, so off three of these go.
