I have a Home Gathering coming up very soon and wanted to share with you what we will be making as the make & take.

The gift card holder is made using White Daisy Cardstock for the base and B&T Duos® from the Sparkle & Shine paper packet. The scallop circle is cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut® Cartridge, and the stamped image comes from the Perfect Fit-Holidays Stamp Set in Ruby Exclusive Ink® and Slate Exclusive Ink®. I also used a corner rounder on the top flap of the gift card holder to soften the edges. Add a Hook & Loop Dot to the scallop circle to secure the gift card holder and you’re ready to give a great gift!

The base cardstock is 3½ x 8½ inches and scored with a bone folder at 2 inches from one end and 2½ inches from the other.

The B&T Duos® are cut at 1¾ x 3¼ inches, 2¼ x 3¼ inches, and 3¾ x 3¼ inches.

The great thing about these gift cards is with the right paper and the right stamp set you can make these for graduation gifts, wedding gifts, birthday gifts, etc, etc, etc. AND Close To My Heart has stamp sets and paper packets to fit every occasion!!!!
