Graphic 45 Tag with Gift Card Holder

Hello Hello! 

I'm still playing with Christmas papers and stuff! I figured Christmas last 12 days so why not? And I still have all my Christmas goodies out.  I had so much fun creating this I am already working on another one that is valentines' themed.  

Anyway, I made this gift card holder based off an idea I saw HERE on Pinterest.  Kathy designs for Authentique and previously for Graphic 45, two of my favorite companies! I just love her style. Anyway. I used all Graphic 45 papers (a mix of a few Collections - mainly St. Nicholas, but also some Christmas Emporium. The big tag I cut/designed my own base for as I didn't have any larger tags at the time. The large tag base measures about 7" by 4". The ribbon is from my stash. 

Here is the inside once it's opened up: 

The left side has the pocket for the gift card holder, while the right side has space to write a greeting or message.

SFYTT December

Hello ~ Hello

Here's my card for the December Sketch For You To Try Challenge. I ended up getting 11 out of 12 monthly challenges done. The month I missed was July, which is the month I moved. Wish I could be one of the lucky ones to be entered for the drawing! I will be trying again next year if Jen decides to do this again in 2012 (and I can pretty much guarantee I won't be moving ~ I *love* my place & still working on it to make it "my own") 

 All of my papers for this card are from Graphic 45 (Christmas Past) The sentiment from an A*Muse set is stamped in Riding Hood Red on PTI Craft. I also used a Dizzy Dolly Die-namic Die from MFT. The card size is 5.5" square. The buttons are all from Basic Grey (so love their buttons n brads)

School Girl

Hello ~ Hello

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you are enjoying your day! My card today was created with papers and stamps from the new Graphic45 An ABC Primer Collection.  My mom is a huge fan of this collection (and Graphic45 in general) and shared some of her goodies with me to play with. This is the first card I came up with. The card is a little lighter in real life, But i love the antique-feel that the setting on my camera gave me for this card.
