Good Morning! I wanted to share with you a Gift Certificate and Gift Card Holder that I made for my mom, she needs them to give as gifts.
This one holds a SU gift certificate. I used two new In Colors, Baja Breeze is the lighter blue and Pacific Point is the darker. I love Pacific Point, it is the blue I never knew I always wanted! I put a faux belly band around it and closed it with a Thank You stamp from the new Wow Flowers set (coming out in the Fall/Winter Catalog - August 11th). My lovely scallops were made with the new Scallop Punch, a must have! Here it is open. I turned the gift certificate over so the receiver can not see it if she is surfing this morning. I took a 8-1/2x11 piece of card stock and scored it at 4" and 8-1/4". This created the middle section big enough for my gift certificate, after I trimmed it down a little. The pocket is made with my scallop punch. Easy and simple to make. This is the gift card holder. It is actually LEFTOVERS from last months Stamp Club. We made this project using Live Your Dream (from the Occasions Mini). I had LEFT OVER packets, so I used the paper and created a whole new gift card holder. This one uses Soft Sky and Blue Bayou, what a contrast to the Baja Breeze and Pacific Point used above! The base of this gift card holder is an envelope. I got this genious idea from another demonstrator's blog. And for the life of me can not remember who, maybe Andrea Walford! Here is the inside. I took a med. whisper white envelope, folded it in half. Then you open it and cut the flap on the line. Seal one side and leave the other open to slip your gift card in and out! Isn't that cleaver! I have this one turned on it's side, but you could have it going vertically too. So, try them out when giving gift cards or certificates! The holder is as much a part of the gift as the card itself! Happy Saturday and Happy Stampin' Carrie

These are both wonderful. The two new blue colors are so bright and cheery. Love the envelope gift card holder too.
