Matching Gift Card Set

Good Morning Crafty Friends,

 

Today begins a new challenge at Exploring Cricut and I have this wonderful set to share that I made for my husband's sister and nieces. Since we do not celebrate the holidays with them, we usually get them a gift card which is nice and easy to mail. Instead of mailing the gift card in the envelop the store provides, I thought it would be more festive to create a holder.

 

Challenge...

It's a Wonderful Time of Year

 

Here is my Exploring Cricut project...

The card is for my sister-in-law. I used The Sweet Stop sketch (shown below). The gift cards will fit nicely inside. That was one of my husband's requirements...no boxes to mail!

 

I used the teabag cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More 2. I cut each holder at 4 1/4". This was the first time I used this cartridge (I even had to open cut open the shellcase.).

There sure are a lot of neat boxes on this cartridge. My daughter wants me to make her a milkbox. She is spending a couple days with the grandparents, so I am going to surprise her by having one ready when she gets back. : )

One final message...my e-mail service provider has been unavailable since Friday (I know! I am going thru withdrawal not being able to check!). If you have sent a message to me and I have not responded, please be patient! I am trying to be! All e-mails will be forwarded once Cox has fixed the problem, but at this time it could be a few more days. UUUGH!

 

Happy Holidays,

Georgiana
