Happy Thursday, everyone! I had an idea for a gift card holder and although this was just a "prototype", I thought I would share it anyway! I am also entering it at Retro Rubber, where they have a color palette, and Krafty Chicks, where they're looking for Clean and Simple!
The stamps I am using are from Picture Perfect Birthday, which came out in 2018. Here we go:
I started out by making a note-card sized card with Lemon Lime Twist cardstock....this was a challenge to me, because this is definitely not a color I use very often, LOL! I made a little 3D "box", stamped some "ribbon" in Lemon Lolly and Lemon Lime Twist (they're actually candles) on the front, and stamped the bow in Balmy Blue and Lost Lagoon to attach at the intersection of the ribbons. The top of the box is 2" x 3". I also added a little tag with a sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs:
For some added texture, I added a panel of the same color, embossed with one of the Fun Patterns embossing folders. Here's a side view of the box; you would need a special envelope, or maybe just an A4 envelope to accomodate the thickness.
On the inside, I added another sentiment from the same set and added an embossed pocket at the bottom in which to tuck a gift card or cash!
Again, this was just a prototype, so I'll be adjusting some dimensions and trying it again in the future! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

Great idea! I'm always in need of gift cards/holders. I have the stamp set! YAY. And I love Lemon Lime Twist! Perhaps, the same thing could be done using the Envelope Punch Board & doing an envelope that opened to reveal the GC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sparking my creativity!
You're onto something special here, LeAnne! and I LOve that lemon lime twist especially with this fun embossed pattern!

Such a neat idea, LeAnne! Love the colors and how you created the box on the front! The embossed front finishes this nicely! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThe embossed lemon lime twist makes a bright and cheerful background for that fun little box! You're just so darn crafty!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty and fun! It's great to get out some of the old favourites like this. Great layout too.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun LeAnne, great use of colors. I like the texture on the card base and little details.
ReplyDeleteLove your prototype! I’m not a fan of Lemon Lime Twist either but it’s beautifully embossed and works great here. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful CAS card with us at The Krafty Chicks Challenge! So nice to see you in the gallery.
