Here’s the inside of the easel. I stamped flowers from the Painted Petals stamp set on the Pink Pirouette cardstock. Did you know you can get …
Moon Lake is a great stamp for masculine cards. For this birthday card, I cut the Island Indigo card base at 5-1/2″ x 8″, scored it at 2-3/4″ and embossed the front of it. I placed the 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ Whisper White cardstock inside right on top of card base and embossed half of it to leave room for the inside sentiment. I used …

Here’s another gift card holder using the Wondrous Wreath Photopolymer stamp. I kept the colors the same as the one in yesterday’s post.

It measures 6-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ and …

I can display them in the summer and they won’t melt and I …
Gift cards come in all sizes – so why not combine a card to place your gift card and at the same time have room to write a message inside.
