Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a gift card holder thank you card to share with you. These are so quick and easy to do. I plan to make some for Christmas this year too. I'm making this one for a neighbor who kindly took in our cat for the night while I had to prep for surgery the next day. (Total hip). They are thrilled to have him. He is a good kitty and loves to play. I'm SO grateful that he will be staying with people how love him. My surgery was on the 12th and I have pre-posted my cards because I was pretty sure I wouldn't be coherent enough to put one together on the meds I'm given. So as of now it's Saturday August 10th and I'm still at home. One day left before I go in. Oh and I have to be there at 5 am. That means I have to get up at 3:30 am. REALLY? I'm not a morning person so I hope I get some drugs right away so I will be nice and not crabby at that time of the day. I mean, who gets up that early? LOL It will all be good and by the time you are reading this post I will have been home for 10 days and by then I should be back in my workroom with more fun cards to share. Anyway, please read on to see how I made this card.
The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Highland Heather card stock. Once cut it measures 4-1/4" x 11". I scored it at 5-1/2" and 8-3/4". I folded the scored pieces inward.
I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.
On the front flap of the card I used a circle punch to make a little "U" shape on the edge to grab the gift card easier.
That pouch for the gift card is just glued along the two edges and that's it. Easy peasy.
On the front I cut a 4" x 3" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Perennial Lavender" 12" x 12" package. Mine is a bit short because it was a piece in my package that I thought I should use up. I taped that to the front of the card.
The words were stamped next and are from the "Layering Leaves" set. I stamped them on Basic White card stock using Gorgeous Grape ink. I cut them out using the "Countryside Corners" die set. I used the 5th die for the words and the 4th for the Highland Heather card stock. I taped the two pieces together. I glued the piece in place. It can also be set in place with Dimensionals. I chose to use glue.
And the card was done. It's such an easy card to make. I have a couple of birthday's coming up and gift cards are the gift, so... the card is going to be made with this layout!
Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thank you card,
Wanda
