Welcome to this month's
blog hop!
This month we'll be focusing on birthday cards using various folding techniques!
I created a center-seam gift card holder.
paper- MME Lost & Found Breeze, kraft cardstock stamps- Joy's Life (Tag You're It ONE), Cricut - Plantin SchoolBook cart, <tag1> page 78, twine, Memento ink, Ranger embossing powder |
Check out my super fast technique to create
pennants for your card banners HERE!
Starbucks, anyone?
Joy's Life stamps "enjoy"- Sweet Popsicle Puns set "Happy" - Holiday Occasions set "Birthday" - Everyday Occasions set |
This is a super easy technique and works with ANY size card.
Cut your card base to your usual height,
for the width add on two inches.
I cut a 5½ x 10½ card base. scoring @ 4¼ and 6¼ |
with the center seam pointing downward (creating a valley) tape around the edge as shown. This will create a pocket inside your card. |
I used a Stampin' Up window punch to notch out for the gift card. |
Look at that awesome card!!! Thanks for the tut--I've gotta try that!
