'Tis the Season for Gift Cards! Gift cards always seem so impersonal, like you didn't take the time to come up with that personal gift. However... when that person loves coffee, a gift card to their favorite coffee shop delivered in a cute card is perfect!
Recipe:
Thick Whisper White - 11" x 4 1/4", scored at 4 1/4" and 8 1/2"
Whisper White scraps big enough to stamp and cut the cup and lid from Merry Cafe
Quilted Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper - 4" x 4" and 4" x 1 1/2"
Stamps - Merry Cafe
Ink - Garden Green and Real Red
Fold card base on the score lines. To make the inside pocket for the gift card fold in and adhere just the sides with Fast Fuse or Multipurpose Glue (Green Glue).
I believe when I make more, I'll add a bit more decoration inside. I know I'll be making more, there's no doubt about that.
Thank you for looking in today. Here comes another week!

The date was Saturday, November 4, 2017. The place ... was Starbucks drive-thru. The order was "Grande Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino please."
The response... oh, I'm sorry Pumpkin Spice season is over. WHAT!??? What??? Hello, it's just barely November, and as I recall, November is FALL and Pumpkin Season! What's this nonsense of no more Pumpkin Spice?
Well, what am I going to do with these cards I've made? How about I tell you about them, just in case you want to pretend it's still Pumpkin Spice Latte Season.
Recipe:
Tangerine Tango - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Painted Autumn - Designer Series Paper (one side is little squares / other side is Pumpkins)
Very Vanilla - 3 1/2" x 1 3/4"
Very Vanilla - 5 1/4" x 4" (for inside card)
Soft Sky (for lid and wrap)
Stamps: Merry Café
Ink: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie
When attaching the Very Vanilla, I used Tear & Tape because it sticks better to the bumpy embossed petals.
Above: Stamped the leaves outline with Pumpkin Pie, then stamped the inside with Pumpkin Pie stamped off once.
Below: Stamped the leaves outline with Cajun Craze, then stamped the inside with Cajun Craze stamped off once.
Thank you for looking in today. Guess I'm off to the store later for some Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer. Saw plenty of that at the store before we went to Starbucks. Should have bought some then! Oh well.
Thank you for looking in. Today is Election Day for several jurisdictional elections. No idea how late I may be working, so if you don't see me tomorrow, you'll know why.
