The Giftcard Holders

As promised, here are the giftcard holders that we made in this month's class that happened last weekend. I received one of these neat GCH's from my girlfriend Michelle for my birthday and just HAD to learn how to make this cool holder. Thanks Michelle for helping me learn how to make this. I used the cool snowman from the Shellebrate set. I like the look of not coloring the whole image but just highlighting. We used bashful blue refill ink and a blender pen to color the waves. Here's the holder opened...the insert has a little fold that holds the giftcard.

This next card is the same concept except that it's a little larger and two punches with the slit punch hold the giftcard in this holder. I love the softness of the blush blossom and the chocolate chip. This image is a level 2 hostess set from the holiday mini catalog called Snow Buddies. Again, we only colored the nose and used glitter to make it sparkle!

Here's what it looks like inside.

I received one of these cards from my girlfriend Lynn for my birthday and just HAD to make one of these as well. She shared some instructions with me created by the ever-talented Andrea Walford. These instructions are available for purchase for SU demonstrators through Andrea's Demo to Demo site.

Here's what it looks like inside. The DSP used is from the Merry Moments set.

The idea for the next GCH also is from Andrea Walford. Her version is way smaller than the one we created - see her video tutorial HERE. I wanted this to be a full sized card so I changed all of the measurements and embellishments. I love this teal DSP called Holiday Lounge and I just love the Dasher reindeer (under $10 stamp).

Here's a peek of the inside card. You could attach a giftcard with a mini glue dot if you wanted to.

The final GCH that we made was inspired by Angie Juda of Chic'n'scratch...Angie also has such fabulous ideas! Catch her video tutorial HERE

The inside of this GCH is one envelope cut in half, so clever!

I just want to mention that although these GCH's were originally created by other people, the GCH's that you see here were all my own selection of color, materials and embellishments. I love to get inspiration from people so thank you to the ladies who created these really cool GCH's.

For the ladies that attended, I hope you enjoyed the class as much as I did. If you ordered kits, sorry, I'm still working on scoring some of the cards since the 12X12 paper cannot fit nicely in an envelope! Tomorrow, I will post the bonus projects - we did two!

Also, for the ladies who signed up for the October OCS, I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to email yet!! This has never happened before where I was this late. I promise it will be real soon. I will extend the time to get the cards to your partners til the end of the month. Thanks for your visit today!
