Happy Sunday!
Today I have the Exploding Gift Card Holder Box that I made for my mother for Christmas.
I wish you could see the poinsettias in real–they are so pretty and sparkly.
The middle holds a gift card and there are snowflakes on acetate in each corner. The pictures are my grandparents, my nieces, my parents, and a family photo of my mother, brothers, and myself.
The exploding box is 12 x 12 scored and cut at 4 all around, the gift card holder is 3 1/4 x 7, scored at 3 1/2 (the opening was made with a 1 circle punch, and the ‘wedge’ holding up the gift card holder is 3 1/4 x 3 1/4, scored at 1, 2, and 3. The top is 4 1/8 with a 1 side. The acetate for the snowflakes is 1/4 x 4, scored at 1/2 and inserted in slits in the corners of the mat. The pictures are 3 3/4 x 3 3/4.
Supplies used: Real Red, Shimmery White, Very Vanilla, and Wild Wasabi CS, Holly Berry Bouquet DSP, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, and Versafine Vintage Sepia Inks, SU Spellbinders Layered Poinsettias and Fleur de Lis Squares Dies, SU Northern Frost Decorative Strip Die, Rhinestones and Stickles, HC Petite Poinsettia, OCL Jolly Ornaments, and SU Fireside Christmas Stamp Sets.
