Vintage Gift Card Holder

Happy Friday Everyone! Today I have a Vintage Gift Card Holder to share with you, this was a lot of fun to create. I found just the perfect stamps to use at The Rubber Cafe, I chose G-765 Congratulations, G-718 Vine Border and C-336 Swirled Bells. I tied the gift card with a Olive Green Satin ribbon just to make it look elegant.

.I used Le Romantique pattern paper collection from Graphic 45 and Finesse Swirls Pearls from Want2Scrap.

I cut decorative pieces from the pattern paper, sanded the edges and stamped the Vine Border at the bottom, added a Kimmie Bracket Pearl from Want2Scrap at the top and repeated the step for the back side of the holder.I used Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry to secure all of my pieces together.

I inked all the edges with Donna Salazar's new line of ink from Clearsnaps/Colorbox this color is Truffle,

love it. The ink stay really wet so it was easy to blend the entire gift card hold with just a little ink.

I stamped the Vine Border and Congratulations and slipped the gift card between the layers after I die cut the slit with a Spellbinders die, S4-346 Labels Twenty Two, yes this is a new release, I am lucky because I happen to work for Spellbinders and was able to die cut my project at work using the Grand Calibur.

Here's a close up to see that both sides of the gift card holder are identical.

I just love that Vine Border, I think I use it alot, I guess should see about getting another border to use but this one is my favorite.

I even stamped the back of my gift card golder using the yes you guessed it the Vine Border and the Swirled Bells. I hope you have enjoyed my little creation for this weeks challenge. Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you right back here next Friday. Crafty Smiles, Terre
