More gift card ideas for you!

ETA this quick note: YES! The gift card holder die fits in the Revolution!! The size is approximately 3 3/4 x 6 1/2. 

I couldn't stop the ideas from coming for the new Gift Card Holder Die by My Creative Time, so here are a couple more I made the other day. ;) The first one I have since added a hanging ribbon to -- I think this is the idea I'll use for my mail lady this year. I always do a handmade treat holder of some kind with some sort of goody for her.

Inside I used another of the stamps from the Gift Card Sentiments with the die and coordinating stamp from the Happy Homecoming set. This would  also be a great idea for a teacher, bus driver, the kid who mows the lawn, or for your child's classmates before heading off for Christmas break.


And what a super quick and simple way for the kids to make Valentines for their classmates! For this idea, I turned the die upside down using the pretty edge folded up at the bottom. Stamp a simple message inside, add a sticker if they want to, write their name and they're good to go.



If you haven't heard, Miss Emma has already sold out of this die {GASP!!!!!} but she has another shipment already ordered and more will be in stock by the end of the month, so DON'T WAIT if you missed out this time!! You really don't want to miss out again!

Remember also to comment on my blog hop post from yesterday to be entered in the drawing for the stitched oval die giveaway. Thanks for coming by today!!

For my project today I was assigned the adorable Home Sewn set. My goodness, this is so sweet! I'm sure you'll agree Emma did a fantastic job, as usual! :) The images are just adorable.



Ok, enough with the intro, let's move on to my project!!! It was so hard deciding which stamps to use,they are all SEW cute! Since I used the 'home' stamps for my Monday sneak, I used the 'sewing' stamps today.


Can you even stand the cuteness! I love the adorable little scissors and spool of thread. The spool and thread come on separate stamps too so you can stamp the thread a different color. Genius! I lucked out and had a pink pen the same color as my ink so I made the thread a little longer going through the needle, which, by the way, is another stamp from the set! For my card I used, count 'em, FIVE of the stamps in this one set alone -- awesome! I also used my matching pink pen to add hand stitching.

And for finishing touches, I had to add a pretty pink polka dot bow with matching button. It's all about the details. ;)

All righty peeps, let's get hopping! To start at the beginning, head over to Emma's blog at My Creative Time. There is much cuteness to behold, so don't miss a thing! Plus, you have ELEVEN chances to win and who wants to miss out on THAT, right!?  Thanks for hopping with us...and good luck!
