Saturday's challenge at D2D is to create a Christmas card for a child. Well, since I'm getting farther away from understanding what kids want for gifts, I thought a gift card holder was perfect for a child! Here it is closed...
And here it is open...
Hehe, no I wouldn't give a child a Costco card, but that's what I had handy for the picture! :) So for this creation I took Faith's "Present" image and supersized it to about 5.5x6" and printed it twice on the base cardstock. I also printed it several more times to get the paper piecing going. I took one of the bases and folded it at the bottom of the image..making an envelope and trimming around the sides and top. Then on the second base, I cut the top of the image and added a bit of an insert to fit in the bottom. Added a strip of the patterned paper to the insert to hold the gift card. And that's it!
Here's some other challenges I was inspired by for this one:
1. Catch The Bug Challenge Blog - warm colors + paper piecing
2. Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe Challenge - Christmas
3. Cupcake Craft Challenges - gift card
4. Digi Doodle Shop 's Best - anything goes
5. Mami Doodles: Digital Stamps - shaped card
6. Some Odd Girl Challenge blog - paper piecing
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get a chance to play along in this week's challenge!

Would you give your mother a Costco card? She's really a kid at heart so this card and gift is the perfect combination for me! Love how you enlarge images to make a shaped card. Good thinking my DD! Love, SAM aka MOM
OMGosh....great take on the swing card. I'm finishing one up this morning so now I think I will finish up the card like yours as a gift certificate holder. Check my blog on Tuesday. Thanks for the inspiration and joining us at the Catch the Bug challenge this week.
This is a super idea Kim! If I can remember, I will probably CASE this idea come Christmas time. Its really cute.

Wonderful gift card Kim and such a stunning design, a really clever and unique idea! Thank you so much for joining in with us at Cupcake this week :) Donna ♥ x
I think that giving your mother a Costco card is a fabulous idea. She is rather childish, so she would definitely need a mature friend to accompany her to Costco, where WE would sample yummy foods and shop till we dropped....just sayin! What a great creation, Kim - I think kids of any age would have fun with this!!! Hugs...
Love your card. Go check out my blog I have Blog candy available through sept 22.
thanks

Fantastic card! I love this challenge but the bad thing is I missed it. By the way can I include that card in my collection of printing samples? Thanks.
