Gift Card Pockets | Inspiration

 

Hello, All! Alissa here and I've got a couple gift card holders/tags I made with some blank cards I had on hand just for this sort of project. 

 

Not long ago, I found these awesome blank "thank you" cards that reminded me of library cards in library pockets. I thought they would be perfect to embellish with paper crafting products some day. When I was brainstorming ideas for this post, I ran across these cute cards and decided to go crazy embellishing them with the amazing products from Evalicious! I made a birthday card and a thank you card.

 

I used the "happy _____" tag from the Life's Sweet Large Tags set to cover the "thank you" of the original card and added puffy stickers, stamping, a paper sticker and wood veneer to create a cute birthday card that will hold a gift card (most likely Starbucks) for someone special in my life.

 

This one is a "thank you" card for a sweet friend. Lots of puffy stickers and a wood veneer tag really made this one cute. I think the bubble tea cup is perfect for this project. I mean, it looks just like the Frappuccino cups at Starbucks and the hearts are just so sweet. :)

 

 

So, who in your life needs a cute card? And, maybe a little gift card to go with it? Don't worry if you don't have these exact cards. Always be on the lookout for blank canvases in the card world. It's so fun to start with something pre-made and make it even better. The recipient will LOVE it! :)

I do hope you've enjoyed this little project and are inspired to make your own cards/tags starting with something pre-made.

Have an awesome day!

Life is Sweet | Inspriation

Good morning and happy June! Can you believe summer is almost here? I know I can't! Some of my favorite things about summer are tea lemonades from Starbucks and the color yellow. Today's inspiration has a little of both going on.

 

I'm really in love with black and white with a pop of color and yellow just happens to be my favorite color. And, to top it off, the Life is Sweet collection is perfect with these colors. :)

To separate the badges from the background, I framed them with a punched paper circle. Don't you think it just adds a little pop and separates the badges from the rest of the page. The punched circle gives the badge a little extra weight on the page.

The wood veneer just did not look right in the natural color so I colored them with a black Sharpie pen and backed them with a rectangle of the same striped paper to raise the words from the page and give them more weight in the design.

One final shot showing the dimension on the page. I just love how this one turned out. Love the colors, the design and how the Evalicious products just made it perfect! :)

I hope you've enjoyed a look at this page and are inspired by something to create a project of your own. Summer, tea lemonade and Evalicious products go perfectly together. :)

Have a great day!

Mini Tag Book | Inspiration

 

Hello and Good Morning Evalicious fans! Alissa here today with a fun little mini tag book I made. I always loved this one I made when I was on the team in 2012.

 

This year's version is a little bigger but very similar. This little mini  is super simple to make. Grab a large shipping tag and a bunch of single sided patter paper cut to size and you're ready to go!

 

Mist the front of the tag and stamp the back of the tag and all the papers with different Evalicious stamps to create a back ground pattern.

 

The paper coffee cup stamp was perfect for this min about an afternoon visit to a local coffee house with my mom and my niece.

 

 

I staples in the little photos and added a few stickers and wood veneer throughout the book. 

 

A little gold mist goes a long way to add loveliness, in my opinion. :)

 

 

 

Sew the book together with a little bit of floss. A simple stitch holds it all together. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the back. The tie is a simple baker's twine looped on the top of the tag and the other half is staples to the bottom and then tied together to hold it all in.

So simple and so fun! What will you make with your shipping mini book?

I can't wait to see!
