Simply Said Gift Card Holder

This Simply Said stamp set (115066, $28.95) has been around for ages, and I still find myself pulling it out to use! This card is designed to hold a gift card. Start with a strip of cardstock, then score it so that the inner flap will hold your gift card, and the top flap will cover up your surprise :-)

This little card has the flower attached with a brad so that the edge of the flower holds the top flap of the card closed.

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Simply Said
Inks: VersaMark (for the embossed greeting), Pink Passion, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip
Cardstock: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Pink Passion, Certainly Celery,
Accessories: Silver Brad, White Embossing Powder, Stamping Sponge, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, 2-Way Glue Pen, Corner Rounder Punch

Trying to figure out the leaves on the flower? It's a cool trick--stamp the solid flower in Certainly Celery on Certainly Celery cardstock, then trim off two petals to use as the leaves. This card is actually one of the demonstrator swaps I received back in 2006 on the Stampin' Up! Mexican Riviera Cruise. So if anyone recognizes it, let me know who gets credit for the original creation!
