Hi everyone! Today I will show you the card from yesterdays post! As you can see, it is a very simple card that holds a gift card! It can be used inside another card or by itself. Because this was a specific event and the girls were getting the boxes, I chose to keep it simple and just decorate it as is. You can actually turn it into a purse-like card by adding a cute handle...options options!
A closer look at the card shows you how it opens to reveal the gift card holder. The Artiste Cartridge actually has two different shape for these wonderful little surprises, this and a scallop rectangle. This shape is found on page 55 (<card>) of the Artiste booklet and is cut at 5 1/4". You can actually cut 2 per 12x12 piece of CS.
I also cut the silhouette frame from page 42 (<accent 2>) of Artiste at 2 1/2 and stamped the girls names (twice, 1st and 2nd generation to give it a shadow effect) in the oval cut from the same frame. I sponged the frame and left the oval plain. (Easy was to decorate with having too much cutting!) Then I popped up the frame using pop dots.
I love the stamps from "choose hope" (My Favorite things) and used them again on the inside of the card. I punched the slot at the top of the card (stampin' up punch) and ran the ribbon behind the frame and tied at the top.
