It's a Wrap Blog Hop

Welcome to the second to last stop in It’s a Wrap Blog Hop hosted by Cool Beans By L.B. I first want to wish her a Happy 1 Year with her blog!!! She has created such wonderful projects this whole year.

You should have arrived here from, Robin, The Scrappin' Delta Diva, a fellow Texas Circle Sister. If you are just finding our hop in the middle you can go to the beginning at Cool Beans By L.B.

I hope that you have enjoyed looking at different ways of giving/wrapping gifts. For some reason I have found it hard to buy gifts for people, so I just started giving gift cards. I use to buy those really expensive cards that hold the gift card, until I saw a few youtube videos and realized that I can make my own gift card holders. I found two different videos and made these gift card holders. Enjoy!

I first made a Pop Up Gift Card Holder and I found this great video that explained everything step by step. It took some trial and error, but I loved the end result.
I used the Tinker Bell & Friends cartridge and I cut Tinker Bell at 4 inches. I printed out the sentiment from my computer. I also used the D'vine Swirl embossing folder to emboss the wings.

This next holder is called a Gift Card Holder and Bow Package and this is the tutorial video that I saw. This holder was so fast and easy to make. 
Cartridges used:
From My Kitchen (tab cut at 2 ½ inches)
Sugar and Spice (scallop & buggy both cut at 2 inches)
Birthday Bash (bow cut at 8 inches)

Thanks for stopping by and you are off to your next and last stop Paper Crafting Chic or if you wish to start from the top or visit other blogs again, here is the list…
