Bella Balloon Envelope Gift Card

Well, here is one of my latest Bella purchases. I am lucky enough to live near the Bella Shop so I was able to attend their boxing day sale and YES I walked away happy! I am a fan of giving out gift cards and here is one of my favortie templates. This is also the same cards that I made for Aidens Teachers as Christmas gifts a few posts back. Very simple to make!


The very first thing you need to do is take your envelope and fold in half using your bone folder for a nice sharp edge with the flap of the envelope facing inside.



On the envelope flap, cut the fold line and close up ONE half of the envelope. Now you have two seperate sides. One will be for your gift card and the other side I would adhere with some cardstock or pattern paper. This is the side where you can stamp or write any sentiments. The side where the gift card will go in, you can add some random stamping to it.


Now using your tape runner, run tape along the middle of the outside for your envelope and apply ribbon. Now embellish the front and back as desired. Ta-da!



Super quick and easy! I love it. Also, I have put up a few pictures for Febuary's 18 cards class. go have a look!

Last day of school

Well, it is the last day of school for my little guy! I wanted to enroll him into some kind of winter program to keep him busy and active, but sad to say I did not find anything that I caught my eye. There is a local Ontario Early Years program that I might bring him to, and I guess I'll bring him to some indoor playgrounds. So if anyone wants to make a play date, give me a shout! I made 3 different gift card holder and 16 Candy Cane Mice last night. Thanks to my lil cousin Holly for coming over. Its so nice to get a helping hand. She help me cut up the little mice, set up dinner and get the kiddies all showered up.
I got the Candy Cane mouse template from Dawn Griffin. Her blog is wonderful and I love the fact that she gives a daily tutorial!
Here is a copy of her template:
