Welcome. I’m sharing a gift idea that is perfect for Mother’s Day and can be used for any occasion by stamping a different sentiment…
I know some people don’t like giving gift cards as gifts because they think it’s impersonal. I actually like giving them because it makes me happy to think that the recipient can pick out whatever they choose. I got my mom a Target gift card as part of her Mother’s Day gift (our favorite place to shop) and wanted to create a fun way to present it, which makes it more personal.
There are many gift card holder dies on the market, but I really like THIS one by Avery Elle. It doesn’t come with the window front like you see. I created that by pairing it up with THIS die. By combining your dies, you can get a whole new look from them. By creating the opening in the front, I was able to adhere a piece of acetate behind and stamp greetings from THIS mother’s day stamp set using Black Staz-On ink. I just love the window look it creates…
I used the gift cards as inspiration. I loved the colors so I used them when picking out the patterned paper to cut the envelope…
Since this gift card had the word MOM on it, I “erased” the mom in the sentiment using an alcohol swab on the acetate…
Using double sided patterned paper is great because it still looks pretty when the gift card is removed…
