This has got to me one of my most favorite projects ever!! I really needed a gift card holder that would be large enough for me to use this adorable Wiff of Joy, Shopping Willow stamp that I've been dying to use. Every template I had was too small for the image. After I stopped pouting about not having the Stamping Up Top Note die, I got to looking around at what I do have. I tried different but similar shapes with my Cricut cartridges, but didn't like the results. So I pulled out my new and never used before Nestibilities Label 8 and played around with it until I came up with this!!
It holds a gift card PERFECTLY!!
Yesterday was my niece's 18th birthday party. And it gave the family a chance to get together and see her before she leaves for college in a few weeks. I really wanted a pretty way to present her gift. And I was so happy with the way it came out, that when I was finished I had a hard time giving it away. LOL
I used my favorite paper, (DCWV Linen Closet) and also had my image coming out of the frame again. (That is such a fun technique.) And I paper pieced her bags and added a little Shimmerz to the tissue paper too.
I'm thinking about doing a tutorial on how I made this gift card holder. And may also do a tutorial on the image coming out of the frame technique too. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in seeing, would you PLEASE leave me a comment.
I tried to color my Willow to look like my Niece. :)
