Christmas Countdown (8 Weeks)

Check back every Friday until Christmas for more FUN Christmas gift giving ideas!

What is the perfect gift to give anytime? A Gift Card! It's always the perfect size and the right color.
But receiving a Gift Card in a Hand made card is so much Fun! Here are a few ideas on how to dress up and personalize that gift card.


Card Stock: Bermuda Bay, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Stamp Set: Delightful Decorations, Sparkly & Bright
Other: Ornament Punch, Bermuda Bay Polka-Dot Ribbon, crimper or scallop edge punch, Slit Punch


How about a CUTE purse for your gift Card. They are so simple to make.

Here I used some of the Holiday Lounge Designer Series Paper for the base of the purse. The Top Note Big Shot Die cut was used for the flap of the purse. A little ribbon for the handle. Inside the purse a plastic sleeve holds the gift card in the purse. To close and secure the purse I used a piece of Velcro.









Here
are two more examples. I used some retired Designer Series Paper and Card Stock. The Rudolph Stamp is from the Sparkle & Bright Stamp Set (page 41, Item # 115356, $17.95)
