Stampin' Up! Gift Certificate Envelope

My housekeeper stopped the other day and said she changed her mind about wanting the mini pizza gift box...would it be too much trouble to make something to hold a gift certificate? Trouble? Only in River City (love the Music Man!) So, this is what I made for her to give to her mother and for Freshly Made Sketches #318 (a loose interpretation!) and Tuesday Morning Sketches - #424 - Anything Goes.

I made the envelope into a #10 using Real Red envelope paper and my Martha Stewart score board.

The poinsettia buttons are stamped in Real Red from the Carols of Christmas set, punched with a 3/4" circle punch, matted on gold glimmer paper punched with a 7/8" scallop punch.

Santa's belt is a 3/4" x 8" strip of black glimmer paper (retired), a piece of gold glimmer paper punched with a retired punch and a heart of red glimmer paper.

The sentiment is from Merry Little Labels. I stamped it in Real Red on a scrap of Whisper White, punched it out with the Everyday Label punch and punched a second label shape in gold glimmer paper. Then I cut the gold glimmer label in half and adhered each piece to the ends of the sentiment label.

Your comments are important to me, and I do read every one of them.  So won’t you leave me a comment and let me know what you think of today’s project? I try to reply to each comment as well; however, I don't think blogger sends my reply to you for some reason...it sends it to my email!

I try to cover all my bases with products, measurements and techniques I use, but remember, if you ever have any questions about the projects I create,  I am only an email away!

Thanks for looking!
