The Twinery and Cardmaker Magazine blog hop Gift Card Holder

Today we are hopping with Cardmaker Magazine. Cardmaker is filled with all kinds of inspiration and ideas, make sure you check them out HERE and of course buy the twine you will need for this project HERE at The Twinery! Thanks for coming by from Suzanna Lee's blog - http://www.lifestrivialities.typepad.com/

************************
Yeah, some times you have to buckle down and get a gift card. Now they may not be as personal as a hand picked gift- you can make them super special with a handmade gift card holder. This gift card holder has a pretty cool but involved focal point- the twine weaved gift, but the rest of the card is super simple to assemble and I made a nice little Snapguide to show you how I did it!

Blog Hop! Stephanie Barnard and Clearsnap!

As we get closer to the Holidays we get more pressed for time, so here is a quick and easy card I made with Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Inks, and her amazing Chunky Glitter! Don't forget to comment on my blog and the other on the HOP for a chance to win prizes from The Stamps of Life and Clearsnap- deatils at the bottom of this post!

{For quick cardmaking I alway have my go to "Base Card"- corrugated cards from Michaels! So get your "go to" base; grab a doily, some Graphic 45 paper and tags, and a Chipboard die cut and we are off!}

{Start by Smooching your card base with Smooch Spritz in Vanilla Shimmer, then ink the edges with Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Ink- I used Cornflower}

{then ink your doily with your color choice- then ink your chipboard frame with Frost White- I used one from Imaginarium Designs}

{Attach your doily, then a piece of your favorite paper- I am using Graphic 45's Place in Time January Cut aparts. Then add some Tombow 3D foam squares from their Crafters Collection-they have the tiny ones!- and attach over the top}

{For the finale I attached a chipboard tag and a sprig of glittery wire branch with a little sweet piece of lace-and voila!}
