Gift Card Trio

Today I will be showcasing three Gift Card holders I made recently.

Yes, I know, there have been many of these floating around 

for months by other demonstrators. 

So, there is really nothing new here except my on "spin" on them.

I tend not to create something until I need it, bad I know. 

"Tis the season" that I needed these, thus the lateness of posting the ideas. 

 Hopefully they will be of some inspiration to you, 

especially if you tend to be a procrastinator like I am!

*All the products used will be listed at the bottom. If you would

like the measurements on any of these projects, you can email me at:

bernadettebliss@gmail.com 

 The first two were made using the Envelope Punch Board 133774 by SU.

What a handy tool this is. There are some very creative demonstrators out there who have gone beyond using this just to create envies.

I'm so thankful for them being so willing to share their talent.

 This particular card opens just the reverse of many that have been  created. 

I liked it because it was a little different. 

* inspired by Katina Martinez* 

This particular one is cut using a 5 1/2 x 51/2 inch piece of DSP. It will allow you to create 4 gift card holders out of one 12x12 inch sheet of DSP. The solid insert is used to hold a gift card with a glue dot.  

On the back you can add a sentiment if you like.

*inspired by Patty Bennett*

I choose this Gift Card because it will hold either cash or a check. I did tweek my measurements a little so it would accommodate a check since I don't send cash in the mail.

All I want for Christmas

Thought I would get a card up today so I can stay on my Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. I chose the sketch over 

on Retro Sketches #92 for this Christmas card that 

I plan on giving to my hubby.

 Good thing he doesn't check my blog posts!

Deck the Halls

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

My husband and I are here in Boise, Idaho visiting my oldest son and his family. They just added Amelia Hope to there sweet family just a little over a month ago. She's darling and joins her sweet sister, Esther who is 6.

It's always so wonderful to get to see the grandchildren. 

 It make my heart sing!

 

I made this card before I left on Tuesday so I could post it for today.

I was pleased how it went together and hope you do also.

 

I hope you have a chance to surf the web today and do something crafty. I'm not a Black Friday shopper. I just as soon sit home and avoid the crowds.

My inspiration for today's card is from MOJO321, using the Season of Style DSP 132340 and another stamp from Christmas Messages 131793

 for this card as I did on Wednesdays card.

Oh! What Fun

I decided today to play along with

Retro Sketches

I loved the simplicity of the sketch and wanted to break out my
Season of Style DSP 132340. 

This is what I ended with. A clean and simple card that I usually
have difficulty creating. I tend to be all about layers and embelishments! 
I'm looking forward to playing along again soon to "stretch my clean".
