Giftcard Holder {Seize the CuPcAkE}

This is such a cute tiny little card, it took me all day to make and wow is it ever heavy! First I made a mock template to see how this would all work together then I created the good version. I am adding this to my girlfriend's birthday card, this is a gift card holder and more my style of card making...

The gift card holder base is made out of light blue cs, then the middle was punched out with the word punch and circle punch to make the opening for the gift card to fit inside and the back inside edges are glued. I then framed all the inside areas with light pink cs, and layered them with the designer papers. Added ribbon and a sentiment, and used the oval punch punches. For the front of the card I stamped my cupcake image, and colored it with copics, cut it out, added the liquid applique and glitter on top of it while it's wet, and hit it with the heat gun to watched it puff up. And last but not least gave it a heart gem rhinestone on top for some bling.

Simple, I can do it! 3x3 Inchie!

I didn't think I could do it but this is as simple as I can get. Even createing a 3x3 inchie was hard enough for me to do. I'm kinda on a {cupcake, owl, monkey, baby} kick lately and thought this would be a nice birthday card for my girlfriend at work for whom I must share and show all new items that come in. She creates just wonderful simple cards and I find I need to color and layer everything, and have some form of business in my style of cards. Thanks for looking...
