Sisterhood Challenge and a tutorial . . .

Yep ... it's time again for The Sisterhood Challenge and this time it's one EVERYONE can enter ... you guessed it ...

 ANYTHING GOES

Be sure to pop over, check it out AND we have another TWIST to our challenge blog (hint: Guest Designers) ... all the details are on our blog.  Today I'm sharing a NEW gift card idea I just learned from a very creative friend (June Knaack - The Stamp Pad).  This gift card holder is made using an A-2 envelope ... tutorial further down in this post.

This is the gift card holder ...attached to the front of this A-6 card in 'closed' form.

This is how it looks 'open'.  

 The nice thing is you can still put your personal 

message on the inside of the base card.  

My choice of focus image is this adorable *Wink *Wink Ink digi image named 'Love Fairy'.  I have added sparkle to the wings and crystal effects to the heart for extra dimension.

Other challenges this qualifies for are:

A Spoonful of Sugar - Valentine's

Scrap-Creations - Red/Black/White

Tuesday Taggers - Alter something, include wings

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Love is in the Air

Pollycraft - Black/White & 1 color

Woodware - Anything Goes

Gingerloft - Things that Fly
Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings - Heart theme

NOW FOR THE DIRECTIONS:

Using an A-2 size envelope, fold each side into the center (gate fold style) then cut out the left & right corners from the flap (as indicated in the photo).

You can decorate the outer panels or just leave plain.

This is how it looks completed ... in closed form.

Here it is OPEN ...

and here it is completed and added to the front 

of an A-2 size card base.

You can also turn it the other direction ... as shown below:

I hope you will try this VERY EASY technique for your next gift card holder.  And, if you do, please let me know so I can come visit, see your creation and leave you some love!!


Thanks for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing what you create for this week's Sisterhood Challenge!    Have a wonderful day!
