Sparkle - die cutting, embossing, gift card holder

My make for today is a combo tag and gift card pocket using die cuts with a glitzy cardstock to make the pocket and a fun sentiment from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Tag, You're It!

Christmas Tags that can be used as their own decoration and even used as a gift on their own. I made a variety of festive tags with gift card pockets.

One of the things I dislike about most cards or tags with a gift card slot is that they only look good when they have the gift card in place. As soon as the recipient takes out the gift card to use it, the card or tag looks incomplete. So, when adding in a gift card pocket, I try to think of a design that fits the card but still looks good without it.

Autumn Birthday

Happy Birthday to you! This little mousie would like to help celebrate this Autumn birthday. The card is a shaker easel with a built in pocket for a gift card that doesn't make the card look incomplete when the gift card is out (it's part of the stand-helper in the base *grin*).
