Along comes Brian King with an idea he received at On Stage last April, and my problem is solved! Thank you Brian for sharing this great idea!
I made mine with different Designer Series Paper (DSP) and since I love the Magnolia Lane paper, I knew that was what I wanted to make.
Use the largest Stitched Nested Labels Dies. Cut one with your base color - here I used Mossy Meadow. Cut another one with your favorite DSP. If your choice of pattern can be used in either direction, you can cut it in half and it will work to make a 2nd holder. If your pattern has and up and down orientation, then you'll want to place it in your die so that you are only cutting the bottom. (If you look at Brian's version, you'll understand what I'm not explaining very well - HA!)
I took a 5" piece of the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack (the wide ribbon) and wrapped it from the back around to the front and attached it with Tear & Tape. Don't worry about the seam, it will be covered.
Take a 15" piece of the thin Mossy Meadow thread from the Ribbon Combo Pack and wrap it twice and tie a little bow.
You will need to find the sentiment that works for you. You'll probably be giving a gift card, so a simple "for you" will work great. I found a business version Paper Pumpkin set I picked up at the last major convention we had. It worked perfectly for what I wanted.
Here's a close up - better view. I popped the sentiment up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment is die cut with a die from Stitched Labels.
Here's the back.
Wondering how I cut my DSP in half. Just use your favorite cutter and line the left side up at 2 3/8". Hold tight to the paper so it doesn't slide.
Now you have two bottom half pieces and you're ready to start assembling.
Thank you for looking in today. Have a Blessed Sunday!
