Black and White Masculine Gift Card

Good Evening Everyone,

I have been quite busy in the craft room and tonight I want to share a gift card holder that I am did for a craft group swap I have tomorrow. I did a couple versions of this gift card holder not too long ago. I used the tutorial by Ginger from My Sisters Scrapper, you can find it here. This time I did a masculine version. It was really pretty easy to put together-only 2 colors of cardstock (CS) and 1 color ink! I just love how they turned out. To make this gift card holder I used Michael’s Recollections brand Black and White CS (65#), Stampin’ UP! (SU) 5/8” black satin ribbon (retired), and SU Stamp set called “One Wild Ride” (retired). I made the tag using a Graphic 45 tag and my Brother Scan N Cut (BSNC). The Graphic 45 large tags only come in ivory, black, and kraft and I needed white! Soooo, I scanned the tag image into my BSNC and now I can cut the tag shape out in any color I want. I can even add the large eyelet (1/2”) if I want (I did not for this project). I also used my BSNC to make the borders around each of the die cuts.  The Harley-Davidson sign is a prop I made on my Cricut Maker. Lawdy, I love, love, love my machines!!!  I had to make 10 gift card holders for the swap (no gift cards added). Here are a few pictures of the finished masculine gift card holders. Until next time, happy craftin’.

The way the light is shining on the cardstock, it looks as if I used 2 different blacks.  In person the color is correct.

I am going to enter my gift card holder in the following challenges:

For You! Spellbinders Royal Circle die templates

Hello my paper craftin' peeps!

Just popped in to share a card that I did while doing some test cutting from new dies that I recently acquired.  I do a lot of big projects and usually I have more than one going at a time.  Sometimes you need a little break in between the big projects;  so what better time to get in a quick card or two to break up some of that repetition and monotony.   Most often I get my card ideas from Google images or Pinterest.  This time I decided to look even closer for some inspiration.  I got this card idea from the die packaging!  It looked like such a simple and fun card to make.  The supplies I used for this card are: Spellbinders Royal Circle S4-444, black and white card stock- Michael's Recollection brand, the bluish-green poker-dot patterned paper is from BoBunny, the ink is Stampin UP! Pool Party and Momento Tuxedo Black, the greeting is a Stampin' UP! Vintage Labels stamp set , the little white rose buds are Hobby Lobby brand, the little stamp embellishment is a cut apart from Graphic 45 Botanical Tea, and the sheer ribbon is from JoAnn's.  And what's even better... all the items are SCRAPS! love it!!!  I'm not a scrapbooker;  but I'm still scrappin' bebey!(lol)  The inside is blank with a white piece of cardstock for a personal message or a stamped sentiment. This little 5 x 5 inch card is just great for almost any occasion and right on time for Easter and Mother's Day!  I am going to enter this one in the following challenges:
