Hi, this is June Houck with your Thursday ShopPumpkinSpice inspiration.
I created this card from My Mind's Eye "Lost & Found Christmas" collection. I embossed the damask paper with my D'Vine Swirls embossing folder, then lightly sanded to make the swirls "pop." I popped up the heart and added red Stickles around the border to mimic the red glitter striped MME paper behind it. I then added glossy accents to "cafe" for added dimension. Finally I added the Maraschino twine. I placed the gift card on the shape, then cut thin strips of foam tape around it to form a pocket. I adhered my top...voila :)
My twin daughters' fourth grade teacher loves Starbucks coffee, so I wanted to create a special gift card holder for her.
Supplies:
Cricut cartridge: Cricut Lite "Love You a Latte" cut @ 7 1/4"
paper: My Mind's Eye "Lost & Found Christmas" Boughs paper, Tinsel paper, Holly paper, and Trees paper
embossing folder: Cuttlebug "D'Vine Swirls"
twine: The Twinery "Maraschino"
Other: red stickles and glossy accents
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are enjoying time with your families.
