Altered Gift Card Holder


I created this gift card holder using the Fancy Pants Happy Holidays collection, stampendous stamps, ribbon, gold cord, black ink pad, markers from Stampin’ Up!, small hole punch, liquid adhesive, ice stickles glitter glue, and adhesive runner. First I measured the front and back of the card holder, cut the pattern paper and then glued it down using adhesive.




I cut a sheet of pink paper, wadded it up using my hands and then inked the edges using a black ink pad. Then I created two ornaments to hang on the Happy Holidays tag on the front using a gold cord from Stampin’ Up! I stamped the images and colored them in using Markers from Stampin’ Up! I cut out the ornaments and added the Ice Stickles glitter glue.



I measured the inside of the gift card holder and the cut out for the gift card, I cut the pink patterned paper and glued it down using my adhesive.





After completing the outside cover and the inside of the gift card holder, I added some more pattern paper, ribbon, tree cutouts from one of the sheets of paper, and glued on some chipboard cutouts. It was a very simple project to complete.





I hope you enjoy it!

New Halloween Layout Using Monster Mash Kit!

I had to share my hybrid layout that I created using Jenn's Monster Mash Kit and Connie Prince's brag book template. I printed the papers I wanted from the kit, placed a photo in the brag book template, printed it, and then used some embellishments and ribbon to finish it off.
