Crazy for Cupcakes Gift Card holder
Posted on: Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008This is one of the birthday sets that is 20% off this month for Stampin’ Up!’s birthday sale! I let the DSP Bella Rose determine the color of the stamped images (I had a bunch of scraps left over from cards I was making).

It’s a *very* simple gift card holder to make and it took a VERY small amount of the designer series paper… in fact, I used the wide grosgrain to hide the fact that they don’t quite meet up under the ribbon!
The background (Chocolate Chip) is 4 x 4 1/2 inches and the So Saffron is 3 3/4 x 11 inches scored at 4 1/4 and 8 1/2 inches (folded up and punched with a half circle and held closed with mini silver brads).
The front of this gift holder is only 3 3/4 x 4 inches, so you can literally use scraps for it (as well as the punched elements again are from scraps).
This is easy enough for kids to make for their friends. I let my kids make this type of thing on ‘rainy days’ and use them for parties they go to (and then they are made already!).

This is absolutely adorable Amy! What a good idea to have these made up ahead of time. I am going to try to do this so I won’t always be creating on a deadline!
Thanks so much for sharing,

[...] totally copied this idea from Amy. She’s got way more time on her stamping hands than I do on mine – so it’s a fair [...]
