Quick birthday gift card holder!

Hello Friends,

Today I'm sharing a quick birthday gift card holder I made for my sons' friends party tomorrow.

The birthday boy loves gaming so I decided to make this card from Birds SVGs and changed it into a gift card holder. This FREE card is part of one of Birds earlier file collections called Boys Cards. 

I also used an envelope from one of Birds other collections and resized it to fit my card.

Thank you for visiting my quick project for the day!

Happy Crafting!

Gift Card Holder - I made it!

Hello friends,

Yesterday I was looking for a gift card holder and couldn't find what I envisioned so I decided to make one for myself. I haven't designed 'properly' for a  L O N G  time as there are so many great designers and files in the design world already that it's easy to just purchase with a click!

I worked out the measurements I needed, bypassed my design program and just created it directly in the Silhouette Studio program.

My gift card holder has the outer cover, middle insert with cut outs and a sleeve to hold it closed. Depending on the paper I will also add a shaped cutout to the sleeve for added decoration - for this paper I didn't think I needed it as it has crazy zig zags :-)

I have a few tweaks to do with the insert cut outs but I'm really happy with the way it turned out and with the paper choice.

Thanks for visiting me!

See you again soon!

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - July 2016

Time for cake!

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I'm sharing a cute tiered cake gift card holder with you - a little while ago this file was a freebie of the week from the Silhouette Store by one of my favourite designers Lori Whitlock.

I was inspired and loved what Kathy from Lori's design team did with the file (so pretty and pink!) and decided to cut mine out.

I chose my pretty flower paper from my stash. The paper was double sided so I used the other side, the darker pink, for the trim and added some pink and white 'pearls'.

This is an example of what it looks like with a gift card attached - you just slide up the first tier of the 'cake' to retrieve the gift card.

Here is a closer view of my pretty paper and the pearls.

Thank you for visiting me today!

See you soon and happy crafting!

Just because I could - yesterday & today!

Hi everyone,

Lately there have been so many great freebies from fab companies and designers, and great challenges online so I decided to create something using a freebie and then link up to a challenge following their requirements.

I found this great site called colour me...! that suggests a weekly colour combination challenge for colour lovers - so yesterday I sourced my colours and while I was doing that a freebie came through for a gift card holder tag from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. The main design I used was from Big Dreams Designs over at Scrap Orchard. I was on limited time so when my pup fell asleep I quickly whipped up this project:

 

I matched the colours as best I could to participate in the challenge:

I hope you enjoyed my project and check out these great sites!

Happy Crafting!
