Altered CD Case/Gift Card Holder

Wow, it has been a long time!  I made this altered CD case for my good friend Debbie so she could treat herself to some Starbucks coffee.  She is going through some tough times these days and is handling things much better than I ever could.  I am proud to call her my friend!

I have about 500 CD cases at my house from a marketing plan gone bad.  I used the
"My Creative Time You Are Perk-fect" stamp set which I fell in love with at first sight.  I cut the flower in different sizes from the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge.  I stuck the gift card to the center cd button with a pop dot.  1 down, 499 to go!  TFL

Happy "Itunes" Birthday Kyle!

I was finally able to be crafty again.  My friend Debbie's son Kyle turned 9 and I wanted to get him an Itunes gift card for his birthday.  I decided that I wanted to put it in a holder shaped like an Ipod. 

I measured and cut the Ipod by hand and used the jump rope from Cricut Everyday Paperdolls to make the headphones.  I added a "B" to the headphones so they were similar to the Dr. Dre Beats headphones that the kids are all into.  My 14 year old loved it so I guess it turned out pretty good.  TFL

You Rock - Itunes Gift Card Holder

We are having our annual gift exchange at work today.  Instead of doing the usual Secret Santa, we opted for the White Elephant this year.  Since most of my coworkers listen to music during the day, I thought an Itunes gift card would be perfect.  I have been wanting to make a 2 liter bottle gift card holder so this was the perfect time.  I filled the bottle with a pair of headphones, pop rock candy and the gift card.  I cut an Ipod off of the Paisley cartridge and the You Rock from Jubilee.  I also found a Beavis & Butthead button that says This Rocks on it.  I pinned this to ribbon bow.  It was so easy and fun to make (even last minute)!  TFL.

Piece of Cake Gift Card Holders

Saturday night, my son attended a joint birthday party for two of his friends.  I just recently purchased Sweet Tooth Boxes and thought the cake slice would make a cute gift card holder.  I made two of these and think they turned out great.  The moms loved them!  All these birthday parties are breaking me!  TFL

Quick Gift Card Holder

Happy Monday!  My son was invited to a classmate's birthday party over the weekend.  He wanted to give the boy a gift card as his gift.  Since he plays football, I thought it would be nice to use the football textured paper to cut a pillow box and tie some football ribbon around it.  I used one of my $1 stamp sents for the sentiment.  We went to Modells to buy him a football designed gift card, but all they had was baseball.  I couldn't put a baseball gift card into a football themed gift card holder so we ended up with a Target gift card.  TFL
