My project is also for this week's H{ippity} Hop challenge from our gal, Eva, which is to make a gift card holder. Believe it or not, I have never done this. So I used a template from Tori Wild that I found through Julee's blog! Man, I love the resources you can find on blogs!!I started by chosing the pattern paper, I sooooo love this Early Bird by Cosmo Cricket. I think it's my FAVORITE paper from 2009! I used the frame image and sentiment from {ippity}'s Just Wanted to Say set. With this frame image, you don't need to have the Nestabilities to create frames, just stamp and cut it out!! I accidentally stamped the sentiment slightly off the center, so I added a small cut out flower from a piece of the pattern paper for some balance. I also cut out a flower/leaves to accent the inside.
The ribbon is some twill that I bought at Big Lots a long time ago for $1 and now it's all the rage! What up? LOVE it when that happens!! Here is a detail picture. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to hop around and check out all the {ippity} goodness!!
P.S. Straight from The Heart sets are in stock now! Just in time for Valentine's cards. AND I made up a special Valentine's cardmaking kit, check out all the deets on my Ippity bloggy.
