Pun Fun Gift Card Holder
The Pun Fun Stamp Set is one of my new favorites. I haven’t had it too long, so I’m just beginning to play with it. I’ll be offering a stamp-a-stack in August when I return from convention that uses the Pun Fun set. More of that will follow.
Today, I made a few changes to a small gift card holder which had posted to our yahoo demonstrator group a few days ago. I used a corner rounder at the bottom edge of the front flap, to make the scalloped edge. The middle scallop is actually the enclosure for the gift card holder, and slides into a small slit I made into the bottom flap with my craft knife, just before I taped it up to form the pocket. I used the skinny sticky tape on the pocket, as well as punching 1/2 of a circle with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch. I stamped the front background with the small flower from One of a Kind set, and the "For You" from the Fundamental Phrases set. The bird is from Pun Fun, as is the inside sentiment, which reads, "Happy Bird-day!" I colored the bird with both pastels and markers. There are many small images that would be a great substitute for the bird image.
Speaking of the scalloped edge, I won’t have to make it this way anymore, since TODAY my new order from Stampin’ Up! arrived with the new scallop edge punch inside! YEAH! I just can’t say enough about it. My order was a sneak peak of products which will be coming your way when the new catalog comes out in August, and you’ll be able to order from August 11.
