A Gift Card Wallet

This is my first project from the tutorials for the Summer edition of Inkspiration 4U.  The tutorial was provided by Rosa Vazquez.  I decided to make mine have a male theme to fit the Challenge at Late Night Stampers this week as well.

Rosa used Basic Black and the Newsprint Designer Series Paper and I thought it looked so gorgeous that I didn’t want to change it.   I stamped “Happy Father’s Day” from the Occasional Greetings set onto Whisper White card using Stazon Black ink and then cut it out.  I added a mat of Pacific Point.  Beneath that I have a layer of Basic Black which has been punched on the bottom edge using the Scallop Edge Punch and this is layered onto Whisper White.  This layer (Basic Black and Whisper White) has been run through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  The greeting is attached using dimensionals and the whole piece is attached to the front on a slight angle.  I cut a piece of Newsprint Designer Series Paper to make a “spine” for the folder and also added a Pacific Point Scallop Border cut using the Big Shot and the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die.  I cut 2 large stars, one from Pacific Point and one from Whisper White card,  using my Movers and Shapers Punch Windows.  I added Basic Black and Whisper White centres punched using the Star Extra Large Punch.  I also punched a Pacific Point star using the same punch and added a Whisper White Small Star (retired).  The three stars were embossed using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder before attaching to the front of the Gift Card Wallet.  The smaller star is attached using dimensionals.  A paper clip from the Clips Assortment was the last little touch.

Inside the Wallet you can actually fit 6 gift cards if you like.  You can see that I have placed pieces of Basic Black card in 3 of the pockets so that you can get the idea.  I think this would make a great wedding Gift with money in the pockets.

I am so happy with the Inkspiration 4U tutorials and this summer edition is even better because I was the lucky recipient of a free subscription.   Fantastic.

Let me know what you think of my version of this fantastic Gift Card Wallet.

Bye for now, Kris.
