Masculine Gift Card Holder

I made this humorous Gift Card holder for our son-in-law using stamps from Riley & Company. I get such a kick out of their Funny Bones stamps 😊.  I've had the pop up gift card holder die set for awhile, and for this one I paired it with succulent printed patterned paper from my stash. Oh, how I love this paper, and if I'd known how quickly it would be retired I would have purchased several more pads. 

Below is the pop up inside, and the white rectangle is where we wrote our personal message to him.

The die set also allows you to create a matching envelope, which I did.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.

C4C-380 Zoo Gift Card Trio

Good morning friends

It's Saturday so that means a new challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog. Our April 2017 Hostess is Frances Byrne and our Guest Designer is Kristine Reynolds. You can see Kristine's blog HERE.  

Here is Frances' challenge:  "Apparently today is Zoo Lovers Day ... so feature animals on your card wild or not."

The Great-Grandparents wanted to give our kids/grandkids Zoo Gift Cards last year for Christmas, so I got the gift cards ordered and made these cute Zoo themed Gift Card Holders to put the gift cards in.

They are fairly basic but they did look cute with the gift cards in them and the kids/grandkids liked them. I used Zoo print patterned paper and fussy cut designs for the card fronts from a sheet in the same stack. Those designs were then adhered to the cards with an Action Wobble so they bob and wobble around.

Inside each of the cards I used the Sleigh Gift Card Holder, a Pop it Ups die by Karen Burniston.  Instead of mounting the sleigh though, I added fussy cut embellishments to the Pop-Up portion. This is such a versatile die!

Below you can see how nicely a gift card fits into the slots that cut with the die.

Card #2 ...

Card #3 ... those panels bobbing around on the fronts really looked cute and the Great Grand kids loved them.
