Today's CAS119 challenge CAS119: Word Inspiration: GIFT (5/16/11) by Miss Boo at Splitcoaststampers
was a word inspiration challenge and the word was GIFT. I sometimes give cash or gift cards as birthday gifts but I never have a card on hand and I then have to scramble to put something together at the last minute. So I decided to make a bright and cheery gift card/cash holder.
I started off with a piece of Whisper White CS cut to measuring 24 x 15 cms. I used my metric Scor-Pal to make my score lines, scoring at the * groove (10.5 cms) and scoring again at 21 cms. I die cut my gift shape in Old Olive and Melon Mambo CS and striped patterned paper, cut the pieces and assembled them. I finished off the gift with a Pumpkin Pie felt flower with a pink gem brad in the centre. The gift was then popped up on the card. I punched a Melon Mambo piece of CS with the Eyelet Border punch and then added my sentiment. I used a Hero Arts clear alphabet set to stamp 'a gift for you' with Early Espresso ink and then I just cut out each word. A narrow strip of Old Olive CS finished off the card front.
