Gift Card Holder

Hi there, Stampin' Friends!  Today I am sharing the first Make n Take we did for our April 2014 Stamp Club.  My goal is to post the photos and create a video showing how to create the monthly projects.  Keep in mind that this is the first time I have 'filmed solo' and I had a difficult time here and there staying 'in frame' when I made the video.  After the fourth attempt at making this video, I just had to settle with what I had.  It's a new beginning!

On with the card.....With graduation just around the corner, I wanted to create a simple gift card/money holder.  With inspiration from Jackie Topa (the graduation cap and tassle) and Sue Philips (gift card holder),  I was able to add my own touches.  This is what I came up with....

 The card ties shut with a knot or a bow on the side.

Here is an open view.  A Gift Card (it's the only one I had on hand) or Cash slips right into the left pocket.  The right pocket provides the perfect place for a personal message for the recipient!  A quick and easy project that doesn't need an envelope if you are hand-delivering at the Graduation Reception!

*A special note to my Stampin' Ladies....I figured out where that other piece of  Baker's Twine was meant to go. : )    If you'd like to see how this comes together, you may view the video.  Subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you don't miss future video posts.
