I've seen so many wonderful ways to present gift cards, but of course I didn't have any on hand. So when I needed to fancy some up to send for Christmas presents, I needed something quick and easy. Here's what I came up with. (It looks like I should have straightened the ribbon before I took the picture. Funny how it looked fine "in person".)
I took a piece of 12" double sided paper from the Be of Good Cheer Collection. I scored it at 4" and 8", turned it and scored at 4" and 8" again. I used my paper cutter to cut out the corners leaving a cross shape. It was easy to fold it around the gift card. A piece of ribbon, a tag and some jingle bells make a pretty little present to slip under the tree.
The CASology challenge this week is....
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted
Card Recipe
Stamps: Tags til Christmas: Pinecone (available as a single stamp until 1-2-12
Ink: SU Markers (Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler)
Paper: Be of Good Cheer DSP
Other: Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding, Decorative Label Punch, Jingle Bells (non SU),
I've just been reading about the slaughter in Connecticut. My heart goes out to all the people in that town and particularly the survivors and families of those murdered. I think we need to pray that the true gift of Christmas can find His way into our hearts.
Thanks for stopping by.

I'm not sure that this will be considered Clean and Simple but I'm going to share it there anyway.

I'm praying with you, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wouldn't have noticed the ribbon being askew--I thought it was just at a jaunty angle. :-)
Bonnie - this is lovely! What a beautifully rich bow and a gorgeous way to present a gift card. Thanks so much for sharing your gift with us at CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteLove your gift card packaging. Don't you just love the "Be of Good Cheer" DP ... it's my favorite! Love the pretty tag and the jingle bells are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the idea of putting bells under the bow. I did the same thing with some of my gift cards this year, but never even thought to use DP for them and used wrapping paper instead. Mine are not even close to being so lovely though!

Loving that paper and the big red bow and bells is fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteVery clever, Bonnie, and very very Christmassy! I think your bow is fab and I LOVE the jingle bells!!
ReplyDeleteMy prayer is that we have the strength to rise up this time, as a nation, to cry enough is enough. Don't we otherwise all have the blood of those innocent children on our hands? My heart is breaking for those familes.
Quick and cute - I like that! TFS. And I agree with you, Bonnie - breaks my heart over the CT shooting and I'm praying the same way you are.

Hi Bonnie, a lovely gift to unwrap under the tree. The ribbon makes it even more special.
