Happy Birthday Gorgeous Easy Gift Card Holder Cards!
This fancy-fold card is also a handy gift card holder and it's so easy to make with one simple fold!
Background Basics—This card starts with a 11" x 4-1/4" sheet of Peekaboo Peach card stock. I used the Simply Scored tool to score along the 11" side at the 3-1/2" mark to fold back to create a short card front. I decorated the card front with a 3-1/4" x 4" piece of the dotted Peekaboo Peach Foil Frenzy Designer Series Paper. If you purchase my kit, you'll receive a 1/2 pack of this awesome, shiny paper, so you can select the design you like most!
Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Happy Birthday Gorgeous greeting in Peekaboo Peach onto a 3-1/4" x 1-1/2" piece of Whisper White. I stamped the Happy Birthday Gorgeous small flower in Pool Party and the leaves in Lemon Lime Twist on either side of the sentiment to dress it up a bit.
Finishing Touches— I finished the front by wrapping some Pool Party 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon and tying it into a double-knot. You'll love this new soft, satiny ribbon with a subtle shimmer! It shines without being too overpowering, so it is more elegant than glitter ribbons we've seen in the past. Perfect!
Balloons—I decorated the right side of the card, which is technically the inside of the card with festive balloon images, both found in the Happy Birthday Gorgeous set. I stamped the speckled balloon in Pool Party ink onto Pool Party card stock and the Hooray balloon in Lemon Lime Twist on the same color card stock. I punched both with the Balloon Bouquet Punch. The strings are stamped in Peekaboo Peach ink onto 5-1/4" x 4" Whisper White card stock. I finished with a few floating Rhinestones.
Inside & Gift Card Holder—I gave the inside a finished look with a 5-1/4" x 1/2" strip of striped Peekaboo Peach Foil Frenzy DSP. For the gift card holder, I punched a curved notch from the end with the 2-1/4" Circle Punch, then adhered the flap on the sides only with Tear & Tape Adhesive. It's just the right size for a gift card, or even a business card for a client!
Two Cool—The second card has the same design in a different color combination. This time, my card base is in Soft Sky.
Sweet Sentiment—The greeting is stamped in Soft Sky and the flowers are in Peekaboo Peach this time. This time, I wrapped the front with the cool new Peekaboo Peach Crinkle Ribbon. LOVE this thin and easy-to-tie ribbon!
The balloons are in Peekaboo Peach and Lemon Lime Twist with Soft Sky strings.
Which of these two cool color combinations do you like best?
