This year, we are doing a gift card exchange. We each filled in a sheet about what stores we liked and then our names were cut off and our sheets exchanged. It's kind of exciting. Anyway, one of my friends asked me to bring a gift card to my store for her to give to her person. I had some old ugly printed ones, but I wanted to play a bit and see if I could make something better. And I did.
I started out with scrap paper and thin chipboard. I cut two pieces of paper and one piece of chipboard to 2.5x3.5" (ATC size). I stamped Kayric (the name of my store) and the amount ($25) on the front and then I stamped the Tim Holtz bird and a Tim saying on the back and stuck them altogether. I rounded the corners with my Round It All (I love that tool; it will cut through chipboard) and I distressed the edges with my Distress It All (I also love that tool). Then I just inked the edges with Chalk Ink. I loved how it turned out, so I made two more generic ones with a blank dollar amount that I can just fill in with whatever. I don't get a ton of requests for gift certificates, but I do get enough that it's worthwhile to have one or two on hand.
I am still so excited about how these turned out!
