I know you are probably thinking what is up with the post title? Well anytime I receive a gift card it usually gets a big cheer from especially if it's to my favourite spa lol! Seriously though, they have a great challenge going on over at the PPA blog for creating a project with a Christmas theme so I made this gift card holder with my stamp club this month. I love how quick and easy these holders come together and decided for this one I would use the traditional colours of green and red. Old Olive and Real Red are such perfect colours together and really impart that Christmasy feeling. Of course I could not make something with out using Chocolate Chip and love how it creates a more mordern twist on a traditional colour combination. I used a few different stamp sets to create the images and sentiments for this gift card holder. The snowflake and and mini poinsettia swirls are from the Level 1 Hostess set Pattern Pines currently found in our Holiday Mini. The large sentiment is from the beautiful A Cardinal Christmas and the To/From from the Level 2 Hostess set Christmas Punch.
Well that's it short and sweet lol! I know that the directions for making one of these types of gift card holders are all over the internet so I'm not going to post the dimensions but if you have any questions I'd be more than happy to share!
Happy Stampin'!
