Birthday Gift Card Pop-Up

My youngest son was invited to a birthday party for one of his friends today so yesterday we went into Wasilla to hit up Target and grab a gift card for his buddy. We got him one for Cold Stone Creamery and since the gift cards don't come with envelopes I decided to make a pop up gift card holder.

I have to admit, I wasn't sure what colors I should use, and I don't really have any sets geared to teen boys, so I went with DSP from Well Worn and since we're in Alaska I used the moose image from Definitively Decorative Pines. The text/ sentiments are from the set Bring On the Cake.

Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):

Stamps: Definitively Decorative Pines, Bring On the Cake

Paper: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Well Worn DSP,  Neutrals DSP, Whisper White for the envelope

Ink: Early Espresso

Accessories: 1 1/4" circle punch, Simply Scored Tool

Gift Card for Jingle Belles

My schedule has been crazy and some weeks I've been able to play along with Jingle Belles at the last minute, and some weeks I haven't been able to play along at all. I had some crafting time Saturday afternoon so I made sure to get this weeks challenge over at the Jingle Belles blog done right away.

This weeks challenge is to make a gift card holder. I've never tried this before so I used this Splitcoast tutorial to give me a hand. It was very easy to do...being my first try there are some things I need to tweak for the next time but overall I am happy with how this came out!

The gift card holder closed...just slide the ribbon off(or untie it).....

 And it opens up to this.......
