CHRISTMAS ALBUM OR GIFT CARD HOLDER

July 7, 2021

The question is which will it be? An album or a gift card holder. Over the next couple of weeks for my Facebook live I will be working on an album/gift card holder. 


Several years ago I did a class in which we created the Star Album. One of my customers didn't want a photo album but saw it could be used for another purpose. Each year she struggled to find the perfect gift f for her in-laws for Christmas and each year they would return the gift after Christmas. Wanting to give them a gift that they would appreciate and not return was her motivation for doing the class. She created pockets where we put places for photos. She purchased low cost gift cards, ie $5 at McDonalds. She knew that they loved to go to McDonalds and have a frosty. Just little things that she knew they could use throughout the year and they would appreciate them.


Now is a good time to start this type of thing for that special someone on your list. You can make a small purchase  of a gift card each month without breaking your budget at Christmas. When Christmas rolls around you have your gift all done and paid for.


By the way, they did return the gift, but it was the next year around Christmas and asked for a refill. They really enjoyed the gift!


So I am going to break this down and I will create a part each week. This week we will create the actual book portion.  I will be offering a kit/ class in August where everything will be included and cut for you.

T his card features the Product of the Month, Fabulous Sayings, paired with the Endless Love Dies. It’s a quick and easy card that really highlights the beauty of the Made With Love Designer Series Paper. Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade are the perfect cardstock colors to coordinate with this DSP. To create a custom matching ribbon, I colored the Bubble Bath 1/8" Faux Linen Ribbon with the Flirty Flamingo Light Stampin’ Blend. Finish the card with a touch of sparkle using the Loose Valentines Assortment embellishments. If you place a $75 order, before shipping and tax, you can purchase the Product of the Month for just $5.
