Limelight Project Parade ~ A Gift Card Bouquet!

It's the 6th of the month!

...so that means...
The Limelight Papercrafts Chicks have a project to share today!


It's a Gift Card Bouquet!

I've been to some parties and shower where the 'prizes' for the games were gift cards!
(around $5 each)

Here is a cute idea for how to show them off at your soiree!

This metal stand is a photo holder from The Container Store.
You could also use bamboo skewers and place them in a cute flower pot or vase.

I'll show you each up close and then a picture tutorial on how to make them.

This one is my favorite!!

All patterned paper is from the Webster's Pages Garden Gala/Seaside Retreat/Nature's Storybook 6x6 paper pack.
OMGoodness, this is THE BEST paper!!!

I just love the image on this one...I paired it with the 'Cafe a la Friendship' sentiment from the Unity Feb 10 Store KOM: Life is Fabulous.

This holder would be perfect for a coffee shop gift card!!

More totally fabulous Webster's Pages paper.

This time it's great for a book store gift card!!

I embellished with 2 Basic Grey Buttons tied with May Arts Burlap String in Natural.

The ribbon to hold it closed is May Arts 1.5" Ivory Silk Ribbon.

And this one is fabulous for a gift card for some yummy Chinese food!

The sentiment is also from the Unity Feb 10 Store KOM: Life is Fabulous.

The ribbon is May Arts 1.5" Taupe Silk Ribbon.

Want to make some of these?
Here's how...
I originally learned this concept from former Limelight Designer Ryann Salamon.

1. Cut an 8.5 x 11 sheet of cardstock in half lengthwise.

2. Score at 4, 5.5 and 7 as seen below:

3. Fold along score lines:

4. Use adhesive to 'attach' the gift card holder part:

5. I used the word window punch and a circle punch to make a place for the gift card to 'sit' :

6. Complete holder by embellishing as you wish!

My SPARKLE is Shimmerz!
I painted the dragonfly and bamboo with Candlelight Shimmerz.

Something else I tend to do with Shimmerz....
after 'painting' whatever image...
I take the almost-dry brush and just 'brush' over the entire card...
it gives the whole card some shimmer and shine!

The image is from the Unity Oct 09 Store KOM Wonderful You.
And the sentiment is from the Unity Feb 10 Store KOM Life is Fabulous.

I wish the sparkle would show up better in the photos

I'm still LOVIN' this Webster's Pages paper!!
This sheet is from the
Garden Gala/Seaside Retreat/Nature's Storybook 6x6 pad.
I cut the lantern out from a 2nd sheet and popped it up on dimensionals.

I finished it off with Brown Wrinkled Ribbon and Chocolate Pearls.
