Just for You Card/Gift Card Holder

We're moved!  We still haven't found a house so are staying with my mum temporarily.  Last week was INSANE with all the final tasks involved with selling a home and moving.  I don't think I've ever been so tired in my life!!  Somehow, we managed to get everything done AND I was able to get caught up on grading papers for my students.  I hope to visit some blogs by the end of the week.  I'm in desperate need of some creative inspiration!!

We're having a sketch challenge at My Craft Spot this week.  I was able to make my project a few weeks ago.  It's the last thing I put together before packing up my craft room.  It wasn't very hard to put together and I LOVE the way it turned out - all thanks to Kimberly's products at My Craft Spot!! 

Here's the sketch:

I started with a standard card base (the card does open up) and then cut mats for the front - in white and patterned paper.  I made a pocket using coordinating paper and used the NEW My Craft Spot Snowflake Border metal die to create the lovely snowflake border.  I added some silver glitter dots to the middle of each snowflake.

The banner was cut from silver cardstock using a NEW Ribbon Banners - Arched metal die and stamped with a sentiment from Friends and Neighbors - Inside and Out (one of the original My Craft Spot stamp sets!.  The little gift card holder in the pocket was hand cut (with a paper cutter) from turquoise and white cardstock.  I used the NEW Ornate Labels - Christmas stamp set to stamp little snowflakes over the white portion.  Corners were rounded with a punch.  The little tab was created with the NEW Ribbon Banners - Straight metal dies and tucked between the two layers.  I then finished everything off with some Caribbean crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot.  The gift card is held in place with a little tab at the bottom created with a Stampin' Up half circle punch.

Please head over to My Craft Spot to see the rest of the wonderful projects created with this sketch - and then link up your own project for a chance to win this week's prize!

Have a wonderful week!
