Gift Card Holders

These are the cutest little cards. I made them for the technic challenge on split coasters. They are gift card holders!!! Here is a tutorial:

This is a close up view of one of the gift-card holders. I'm practicing my watercoloring. . . It is getting better!

This is for the sketch challenge. The polka dots are dry embossed with the cuttlebug, and the tag is punched with a cuttlebug die cut. Cute, egh?

This was a technic challenge. You take a double sided pre-printed paper, and fold it many different ways to get this cool double pocket card. Here is a link to a tutorial:

This one I did a "ways to use it" challenge. We were suppossed to use rub-ons, but when I went to rub-on my sentiment I realized it was a sticker and not a rub-on!!

Another split coast stampers challenge. It was a color challenge, the colors were Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, and Pretty in Pink. My dogwood tree out front is blooming and looks somewhat like this pink tree :) The background is embossed with the cuttlebug, and the tag was a cuttlebug die cut also.

Just for fun! A springy card, using a cuttlebug embossing folder for the background.

For this weeks color challenge. We needed to use groovy guava, basic grey and Oh Darn! can't remember the name blushing . . . . . a lighter pink color!!
