Here's a gift card holder that doesn't quite look like a gift card holder:
My husband bought a larger-than-usual gift card and it wouldn't fit in my normal packaging. So I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits dies as inspiration to create my own bag (without using a die! What? Really?)
Using the
Merry Moments Paper Pack, I took two sheets of the 6" x 6" paper. I needed a bag that was 4" wide, so I scored 1" from either edge on one of the sheets, and then cut the other piece to 4". I also trimmed an inch off the bottom of the 4" sheet. Then I ran both of them through my
paper trimmer with the
Small Scallop Rotary Cutting Blade to make the little scalloped top.
I simply folded in the two scored sides of the larger piece of paper, and then adhered the smaller piece to the back. After folding up the flap it became a bag! Then I just had to decorate.
Using the
Delicate Ornament Thinlits Die, I cut a
Silver Foil Ornament and then a
Cherry Cobbler embellished one, and layered them on the front. The "merry" is from the
Christmas Greetings die, also cut in Silver Foil.
A few banners (I used the
Triple Banner Punch) and some
Silver Sequins were added, and the gift bag was done.
But I told my husband to please buy normal-sized gift cards from now on--so much easier to use the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies!
So what do you think--cute?
