I actually decided to see if there was a way that I could modify the die cut a bit to serve as both a gift card holder and card. And actually, it turned out to be incredible easy! First I started by using a variety of prints from the Color Me Crafty 6x8 patterned papers together with some textured cardstock in Swimming Pool and Dolphin to create the die cut as shown.
I layered everything up and got the pieces glued in place. Then I dug into the Bits and Pieces pack to find some flowers I could use to embellish the camera. Can we all just take a minute to admire how pretty these flowers are?
Then I cut 2 additional pieces of the main camera shape - both out of 6x8 patterned paper.
Using the first piece, I rans some liquid adhesive around the side and bottom edges, gluing this to the back of the full assembled camera die cut and creating a little pocket for the gift card in the back.
And them, I just folded a piece if textured cardstock that was slightly smaller in length than the side of the camera and glued that to the back of the pocket I created. Finally, I added a bit more glue and added the 3rd piece I had cut out of the main shape to glue on the back, creating a little card that can open and close.
I really love how these little gift card holders turned out. I think that even if you are not a fan of everything retro, these would make you smile. Give them a try and let me know! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
