Gift Card Holders - Fall

I have been building up the stock for Fall/Winter craft shows, and always try to think of ways to make my cards more appealing. I decided to make some simple cards that are also gift-card holders. I'm really excited about how they turned out!

These guys are 3x5 so they fit into a standard RSVP sized envelope. I folded a little flap to the bottom of the inside (see card on far right) stamped with a coordinating vine image and then sealed the two side edges shut with a fine line of glue. These cards are the PERFECT size for adding a little gift card to. The giftcard would stand vertically in the card, but you could easily rotate this card and put the flap on the long side instead.

Stamps, of course, are PTI. The Rustic Branches set is one of my favorites but I don't use it much because I seem to be challenged when it comes to lining up the berries stamp over the wreath base. No matter how I flip it, I can't seem to find the 'top' of the berries stamp.

Another thing I did for this card - the berries have a solid dot image, and an outline image. I stamped the outline, then just colored the berries in using my Copics! I figure, that way I didn't have to figure out how to line up yet another stamped layer - pretty smart, huh?

Anyway, I'm off to run a weekend retreat for work this weekend. Big G and the boys are going to hold down the fort. In exchange for working the weekend, I get two comp days, so I'm spending Monday (and possibly Tuesday) wallowing in all of the new goodies that arrived this week!
