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!

Alissa

Happy Memories | Inspiration

HI there!

Laura here sharing a new layout today.  I am really enjoying using a minimal of patterned papers and just letting these gorgeous Evalicious stamps, tags and embellishments shine!


Back in 2011 my husband, little guy and I were fortunate enough to spend Halloween at Disney World with our friends.  It was an incredible experience.  My husband dressed up as Indiana Jones and our son was his son "Mutt" Jones.  I, of course, did my own thing and dressed as one of the Disney princesses.


I added colour to these great wood veneer using water colour paints, I love how easy it is - the paint takes really well and dries super quick.


I also added some paint to this page tab to help it pop of my white background.  Aren't the badge buttons (flair) and wood veneer so cute!


Another veneer with a different colour of paint.


I love using these large tags on my layouts, they are really pretty and graphic - plus they remind me to journal the story behind the photo!  I used one of the stamps from the "this way"  collection to document the day of the week the photo was taken, super fun!
