Thank You Gift Card Holder

My boyfriend's boss let us borrow his tiller and aerator to work on the lawn. I decided to get him a gift card in appreciation of using the equipment. I decided to make a thank you card with a gift card holder slip inside.






I created this 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 card by using the following products:

Stamps: Stampin Up Pocket Silhouettes, Vogue Versus
Paper: Stampin Up Not Quite Navy, Garden Green and Summer Sun, White Card Stock
Ink: Stampin Up Not Quite Navy, Garden Green, Summer Sun, Really Rust, Old Olive, and Verse Mark
Embellishment: Thank You Bubble Accent by Jo-Ann Stores
Tools: Adhesive and 1 3/8 round circle punch, heat gun, embossing buddy, black embossing power, sponge

Instructions: Cut Card and layered card stock. Stamp images on white card stock, use the embossing buddy over stamped images, stamp image to emboss, and heat. Then use a sponge and sponge the colors over the stamped images to make the sky and grass). Inside Card: take another layer of card stock (same color as card)and cut half the size of one side of the card about 2 1/4 inches, punch half a circle in card stock, adhere on the sides and bottom leaving the punch section at the top. Stamp and Emboss Thank you on the gift card sleeve. Insert Gift Card and Go!
