It is my pleasure to be your hostess this week, and I have chosen a palette of Coastal Cabana, Pool Party, and Silver. The dessert option is Stripes. My DS paper contains all of the challenge colors, and I substituted for the Coastal Cabana cardstock, hoping to put a tiny dent into my lifetime supply of retired SU cardstock!
It's still winter, so this gift card holder would work for a January or February birthday. It's a snap to make, since the dies in the set cut out all the wallet pieces, both the cardstock as well as the DS pieces. I embellished the front with the snowflake and the inside with a little holly sprig and some silver sparkly washi tape. The closure is a tiny magnet.
Please come join us in the gallery this week. We'd love to see your creations!
A brand‑new ATC/Coin Swap is sailing in for June, and our theme is "The Sea". Hope you’ll dive in and join the fun! All the details are waiting for you here.

So that's where you got your colors from-the designer paper. I was wondering about that. Your pretty gift card holder looks so professional using the dies to create it, Barbara! Thanks for showing the inside too; it's really sweet!

Fabulous gift card folder. I did think these colors would be perfect for a snowflake theme. Love your striped DSP. Fun project.

This is a great gift card holder Barbara. The designer paper is beautiful. I had that paper at one time. You are always showing items that I end up putting on my wish list (LOL)! You are such an enabler, my friend
