Sharing Sweet Thoughts with Butterflies

Sharing Sweet Thoughts with Butterflies
Today’s card is bright and cheery.
I used the Sharing Sweet Thoughts stamp set.
I love using this set because it is this year’s Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set.  Stampin’ Up! donates $3 from the sale of each stamp set to the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
What a great way to help a very worthwhile cause.

Coffee Cafe Gift Card Holder

Coffee Cafe Gift Card Holder
I don’t know about you but I give out plenty of Starbuck or Carabou Coffee gift cards for birthdays or Christmas.  Here is a fun card to make to tuck those cards into.

Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups Framelits, Coffee Break designer paper, gift card holderI used the Coffee Break Suite for this fun card.

Here’s the inside where the gift card tucks away all neat and pretty.

Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups Framelits, Coffee Break designer paper, Gift Card Holder
Card Details:
Coffee Cafe stamp set – Coffee Cups Framelits, Coffee Break designer paper
Card Base — Early Espresso — 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Wild Wasabi — 5 1/4″ x 8″ — score at 4″ & 6″
use the Classic Label Punch to punch the opening for the gift card
(I put the edge of the paper all in the into the punch — that gives you about 3/8″ away from the fold — about 1/2″ from one side — punch — slide the punch over about 1/2″ from the other side and punch again.  This makes the opening large enough for the card to fit into)
Fold to inside of card — put Tear and Tape along the edge and stick down
Coffee Break designer paper — one piece 2″ x 5″ for the front of the card
and another piece 1 3/4″ x 5″ for the right side of the card
Early Espresso — 2 3/4″ x 4″
Wild Wasabi — 2 1/2″ x 3 3/4″
Garden Green — stamp cup and hearts with Garden Green ink — cut out with framelit
