Gift Card Holder

It's Saturday!!  That means it's time for another challenge from Di's Digi Designs.

The challenge this time is: Anything But a Card
And here is my creation for your inspiration:

 It is a gift card holder that I used for giving a gift card to my sister for her birthday.  I like to give gift cards as the recipient can get what they want, but it always feels a little lame to just give a gift card.

I started by stamping the background with a French script stamp, then embossed it with an embossing folder.  Afterwards, I used an orange ink pad to swipe some color over the raised areas.

 I used a gift card holder die on the inside to actually hold it in place.

 A couple weeks ago, I created a card (you can see all the details here) and I made the gift card holder to match the card.  Here they are together:

Such a girly set!  I just love it!!

I hope you will get a chance to play along with us; I can't wait to see what you create.  And make sure you hop over to the Di's Digital Designs blog to see what the rest of the team has made for this challenge.
