Just a Quick Lil' Somethin' Something'

Hello and Happy Friday!!! I just wanted to pop by and post this little gift card I made for my brother's girlfriend, Kaitlin, who recently graduated from college!



I used the June Color Couture download from PaperTrey Ink. I have never purchased one of the downloads before, but I couldn't resist when I saw this fantastic and versatile template that I know I can use for almost ANYTHING! I love it. Even though the download came with GREAT papers, I didn't get a chance to use them and opted for my Thrift Shop papers from October Afternoon, which I got at I {Heart} Papers. Currently, it's out of stock, but send Kate an e-mail and she'll notify you when more come in!! I combined this Up Up & Away set from Verve with a sentiment I made on my computer. I'm happy with how it turned out and Kaitlin really loved it, especially what was inside :)

Have a fantastic weekend. I have a few more things in the works so please stay tuned as I have a HUGE announcement brewing that I think everyone could be excited about (fingers crossed) more on that when the time is right!

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm showcasing my favorite SAB set today, Happy Moments. This is a fantastic set that can be used for so many different occassions and you can earn it free!
I made this card for my Brother-in-law for his birthday and I liked it so much that I made a gift card holder using the same concepts for my brother's girlfriend. These projects also feature some of the papers from the Good Neighbors 6x6 paper pad which you can also earn for free right now. I'm loving all these colors expecially with Kraft paper. I colored this adorable little gift image with my SU inks and markers and blender pens then used a Copic marker to do some hi-lighting.
I found a template for this gift card holder on Splitcoast Stampers and knew it would be the perfect way to present Kaitlin's coffe card and it was so easy to make. Cut a piece of card stock to 4.25 x 11. On the long side, score it in the middle at 5.5 and then in from each end make scored at 4.25. This will yield a square 4.25 card. Then you have this middle piece where the gift card will be stored. I folded the card in half on the 5.5 score on it's reverse side and lined up a Nesties label die and ran it through my Big Kick. Then I folded the card how I wanted it to be when it's done and used Sticky Strip to hold the flaps together.
I really love how these cards turned out. For questions on the gift card or how you can get all your supplies for 10% off, please e-mail me at lpryor1@hotmail.com.
