I made this card with the Swallowtail stamp and some Artisan Embellishments Kit pieces for one of my customers who recently got engaged. The crumb cake rectangle was created by pressing the Crumb Cake Ink Pad directly onto the card stock.

The rectangle behind the phone booth was created by pressing Clear-Mount Block H directly onto the Riding Hood Red Ink Pad. We then stamped off on our scratch paper once before stamping onto the vanilla card stock. We did have to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the phone booth which was stamped twice, once in Early Espresso which had been stamped off and once with Cherry Cobbler. We just mounted the letters to spell out "Hi" together on Clear-Mount Block D making sure to spell the word backwards while putting it on the block.

Here are several more gift card holder ideas for last minute gift giving. Enjoy!
I had some supplies leftover from the Season of Sweets Designer Kit after wrapping all my cookie gifts, so I turned them into quick and easy gift card holders. I even trimmed some of the excess printed area from the card stock sticker belly bands to decorate the apothecary accent labels on the front. The "to: from:" information is written on one of the pre-printed card stock stickers on the back which is also sealing the envelope shut.

My wonderful husband celebrated his birthday yesterday. Here's the card I made for him. It was inspired by one of the cards Nancy Amato posted during our World Card Making Day Blog Hop. She used the "faux leather" technique on one of her cards. I hadn't used that technique myself in a long time, so I thought I'd use it on my husband's birthday card. Enjoy!
