Bracket Gift Card Holder

Saturday, January 26, 2013

Your gift card holder is just exquisite, Beate. What a joy for your recipient to receive!!! I truly NEED these new Bracket Borders and that sweet butterfly die!

Stunning design, Beate. I'm a sucker for anything with a butterfly! The orange is a great colour for highlighting the intricacy of the embossing.

Beate - I would just use that for a card - it is beautiful but then again what do we expect when we know you are so talented.

This is just beautiful, Beate!! I love the idea of using non-traditional colors!! Your cards are ALWAYS so beautiful!!
Marcie Smith Saturday, January 26, 2013

Originally when I saw these dies I thought envelope flaps and how beautiful these dies would make them. Never crossed my mind to make a gift card holder. Great use of these lovely new dies. Like that they are premarked for lineing them up. Thanks for sharing this with us. Now I can't wait to receive my order and try them out.

This is beautiful and wonderfully useable. Thank you.
Also, my eye was caught by the small ruler you used. I have been looking for a small ruler like that for a long time.
Rebekka Saturday, January 26, 2013

wow Beate, this is just stunning. Love these new dies.
Beate Saturday, January 26, 2013

Thanks so much for all the kind words!!!

Judy,
I love that ruler. It's a 1" x 6" quilting ruler made by Olfa that I still have from back when I was quilting. I am pretty sure I bought it from JoAnn's a long long time ago.
