Later today we have two graduation parties – yes – the season starts now! I have these cards on the A Jillian Vance Design blog, more details on the cards there.

This card is also on the A Jillian Vance Design Blog today, where you can see another picture of the layers – I used a combination of the 3D Foam Squares and Thin 3D Foam Squares to layer the smaller die cuts.

Gift Box – Gift Card Holder

The weather here took a turn and it’s suddenly feeling a lot like Christmas! I don’t mind the Christmas part, it’s the cold that I’m not so ready for! However, I could be ready, let me just get the tree up, and get some gift cards ready!

Thanks to A Jillian Vance Design, for their early Christmas gifts and the opportunity to be a Guest Blogger! I came up with this cute little gift card holder, shaped like a gift, but it’s a card!

I based this loosely on this Graduation Card, it’s a bit differently constructed, and definitely easier!

Just flip up the top, and it opens to reveal the gift card tucked inside.

The stamped messages are from A Jillian Vance Design’s Merry Moolah set, which is perfect for gift cards and gift tags, and includes 6 fun sentiments!
