Hi all and happy rainy Wednesday....geez, it's 3:00 in the afternoon but it's so dark outside, it looks more like 8 p.m. It's seriously POURING out there. I wish I could sent it to Texas where it's really needed right now.
A few weeks ago, a very special blogging friend of mine, Christine Dol, sent me this beautiful gift card holder with a little Michael's money (that I already spent....seriously Christine, thank you so much!......I would sooooo love to meet you in person some day and spend the afternoon crafting together, too). I wanted to try my hand at making one of these wallet-style GC holders, traced up her template, and here's what I came up with...
I used a stamp from my Penny Black Hello Friend clear set, colored it with Copics, added some Stardust Stickles, and paired it up with Thrift Shop DP. Here's a shot of what it looks like opened up...
(I just added a small square of blue DP so you can see where the GC or note will be inserted.)
Okie dokie, it's time for me to find a BIG OLE' umbrella and head to the bus stop. The kiddo will be home shortly. Later!

Christine is so sweet!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable and such a great design!! :)
What a cute gift card holder, and how sweet of Christine :)
ReplyDeleteHope you didn't get to drenched out there waiting for the school bus.
Christine sure is thoughtful isn't she? That's a cute style gift card holder too! It's not supposed to stop raining now until Monday! I wish we could send some of this rain to TX too!! I forget what the sun looks like! LOL
ReplyDeleteI just love it!!! I love that wallet style and your image is the sweetest. Of course you rock those PB images GF!! Christine is just too sweet!! What a great friend!! I agree with Carol, I forget what the sun looks like too. I wish Texas could have some of this rain. Glad you made it through the hurricane o.k. A storm like that makes you thankful for all the things you take for granted like electricity.

P.S>. hope you stay dry! And thanks so much for your sweet comment on my blog today! 8-)
I guess I should check my account now that my dd uses my computer and hops too. The last comment from Twinklebug was from me and not dd. Sorry for the confusion.

What a cute gift card holder! I like the round piece you've used and that cute image - just perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove this GC holder! The colours are awesome and that PP is a fave of mine! SWEET image which is coloured beautifully!
ReplyDeleteDenise...you are the best! Thank-you so much for your sweet comment regarding your gift card holder. I am thrilled that you loved it!
ReplyDeleteI must say....you ALWAYS do such a perfect job on your projects. I absolutely love your little PB image. I wish I could colour like you with those copics...your colouring is so vibrant and sooooo good! The ribbon is such a nice touch too.
Hopefully you did not get to wet waiting at the bus stop. Oh I wish summer was coming back...don't you!
What a darling gift card holder! Will have to CASE this idea! I loved what a FB friend commented about the rain..."the sun is always shining...it's just that the clouds get in the way at times". :-)
ReplyDeleteThe gift card holder is a gift just by itself! Adorable Denise!
