Now onto my creation for today.

Ready for some cuteness? I've made a very cute gift card holder. Well I made a few so that I could sell at a local craft fair.  

I used the smallest envelope liner framelit and cut out two from Bermuda Bay card stock. You are able to make two gift card holders from one 8 1/2" x 11. I thought about folding the flap of one of the liners over the front but then it was going to cover the DSP. So I decided to cut off the flap. On the left, bottom and right sides of the liner with flap I added the Tear & Tape Adhesive. Make sure not to add a piece to the top because you need to make a pocket for your gift card. Then add the non flap liner to the top and decorate as desired. 

I’ve used two different Bermuda Bay patterns from the Cherry on Top DSP stack.. Small enough for a stocking stuffer or to hold in your purse to hand to random people for acts of kindness. Who wouldn't want a little penguin to brighten their day?

It even fits your business card. Just sayin'

How cute is this penguin? All you need to do is stamp in black ink and color his beak and flippers (aka feet) with Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker . 

Thank you for stopping by today. Be sure to come back tomorrow to see what I made using a Christmas stamp set in a non Christmas way.
