Pearly Sparkles March Challenge ~ Anything BUT a Card

Hi Crafty Friends,
New month, new challenge at Pearly Sparkles.This month we're asking you to share your projects that are ANYTHING BUT A CARD.
I love making gift card holders.  They come in so handy for almost any occasion.Here's what I created for this challenge.

All of the dies and stamp are from Jaded Blossom.

Paper Bag Die

Coffee Dies

Gift Card Die

Coffee Break Stamps set

We hope you'll join us this month.  Add your project to the link above.

Thank You

 Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my design team day on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

Today I'd like to share a shaker/gift card holder design that was shared by Jennifer McGuire.

It's a unique idea and I thought it would be fun to try it.

The gift card slips right into the shaker pocket.  There is a flap inside the card that allows for easy access to the gift card and still keep the shaker element in place.

I used these Jaded Blossom products:

Vine Stencil

Wheelbarrow Die

Gnome Dies: Garden Add Ons (flowers, instead of the tulips)

Thank You

Thank You Outline Dies

This was such a fun card to create.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cut it Up Challenge #275 ~ Starts with a "B"

Hi Crafty Friends,
Time for our next Cut it Up Challenge.  For challenge #275 the theme is "Starts with a B".  So many possibilities!!With Easter this Sunday, I just had to share an adorable Bunny Butt!!!I made it as the cover of a gift card holder.  I'm actually making 7.  My "kids" are past the egg hunt, Easter basket stage but always love gift or money cards :)

I used dies from several of my favorite companies.  The card holder is a LaLa Land Craft Die as are the bunny feet and body.  The grass, sentiment, tail and ears are from various Jaded Blossom sets. It's always fun to use bits and pieces to create a project. 
I hope you'll play along with us.
