Gift Card/Money Holder

A few gift card/money holders I made recently.  I used the instructions for the design HERE by Lesley Kilby.

The first one was for a garden centre gift token, so I gave this one a floral theme.   The flower was made with dies from the Sue Wilson 'Passion Flower' set, layered on Memory Box 'Stitched Circle Layers' die cuts.  The patterned papers are from a paper pad from The Works.


I am joining in the following challenges with this card:


The second card uses patterned paper from a paper pad from The Range.

This one contained money, but when I tried to crop the photo, my editing software recognised that there were English bank notes in the photo and wouldn't open it.  I really wasn't taking a photo of bank notes so I that could print my own! 🤣

The last one was for friends who celebrated a special anniversary recently and are going on a river cruise soon to celebrate, so this one had a nautical theme.  I thought it would be a nice idea to give the couple Euros to buy something special on their holiday to remind them of their special anniversary.  The patterned paper is from a paper pad from The Works. I decorated the front of the card with a Poppystamps 'Marine Sailboat' die cut, layered on Memory Box 'Stitched Rectangle Layers' die cuts.  The sentiment is a stamp from a Happy Little Stampers stamp set.

My editing software obviously thinks it's okay to print Euro notes! 🤣

I am joining in the following challenges with this last card.

  3. Love so much your three designs! And thanks for the link! The first one is so cute with the peeking out hedgie on the gift card!
    Hope that the story about your editing software that recognised English money is a joke! :D

  5. Three fabulous gift cards and love the stable door effect with the top half opening to reveal the pocket filled with gift tokens/money. I had to laugh at the fact that your editing programme would not show the British notes but was quite happy to display the Euros...lol. x

  6. Three great variations on a theme with these gift wallets. So amusing to read that your software stopped you printing your own currency but didn't object to the Euros 🤣🤣

  19. I love the way these gift card/bank note holders work Liz! They are different from the one's I've made or seen. I love how you have personalized each one to the people you are giving them to. I love the papers and color combos, each one unique to the recipients. I had a chuckle about your software not letting you edit with the English bank notes in but then it was ok with the Euro bank notes. So funny! Wonder why?! Money is money! LOL Hugs, Brenda
