Gift Card Holder (Gina K)

I watched a Gina K. tutorial on YouTube this morning and learned how to make another gift card holder! Here's the outside.....

... and here's the inside (just slip the ribbon off over the top!)...

(I'm still hooked on the sei Dill Blossom paper pack!)
I'm probably going to leave these without sentiments so they can be used for any occasion! Try it and let me know how yours comes out!

Hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas!!

Toilet Paper Rolls?!?!?

I've seen a card holder made out of toilet paper rolls somewhere and decided to search for it on YouTube...  (I typed in "tutorial toilet paper roll")

Create! with Dee had a tutorial on mini albums that was so clear and easy, so I thought I'd try it! She uses 3 rolls to make the mini album, but I only used 1, to be used as a gift card holder or a tag card holder.... you can use your imagination on different ideas! (This link will take you to her home page and it's listed under 'Mini Album.' I recommend watching the 13 minute video as she gives some good ideas on it!)

I'm not at the point of making tutorials, but I can tell you that all I did was smooshed the roll and covered it using a 5"x6" designer paper (my apologies to the designer, but I can't remember which pack it was pulled out of!). Then I embellished it with flowers I got at one of the Scrapbook Expo's a few years ago. I also cut a tag and used a Stampin' Up rub-on to fancy it up a little!

It was really very simple and similar to making a card.... so give it a try and let me know how yours comes out!
