It's day 2 of the My Creative Time 5 Days of Christmas, and today I have a fun gift card wallet that I made with a Lori Whitlock file from the Silhouette Online Store. I adorned it with some holly leaves made with dies from Boughs of Holly and used some buttons for the berries.
Since I'm putting a gift card in the wallet, I thought it would be fun to make a little card that is the same size as a gift card. I decorated it with some candy cane stripes using one of the Geo Borders stamps. Then I added some more of the holly berry die cuts (I just love those!). Lastly, I pulled out my A Day in December stamp set and stamped the cute circular image with the bell and the fun Naughty/Nice image that is stamped on a little rectangle that I die cut with one of the Square Stitched Goody Dies.
Here's a look at the wallet opened up. I used velcro as an enclosure. I first tried some magnetic sheets cut into circles (you can see them underneath), but they weren't strong enough. Luckily my DT sisters came to my rescue with the velcro suggestion!
