As I've shared before, The Hubs and I have a TON of gift cards to give for Christmas this year. Two of our nieces (Jenna, age 8 + Mariah, age 7) are very girly and love to shop. They've asked for gift cards to Justice for Girls this year. Ask and ye shall receive!
It's usually a no-brainer to wrap gift cards: throw them in a box or an envelope and you're all set. With so many to give this year, I wanted to switch it up a bit. So the girls are getting Gift Card Sandwiches. Who doesn't love a sandwich?
Disclaimer: This is a totally made-up name that I'm hoping will go viral in the crafting/blogging world. Spread the news. :o)
These 'sandwiches' are simply made by 'smooshing' two chipboard coasters together with a gift card glue-dotted inside. I then tied a bow around the sandwich to keep it together.
By the way, have you seen the wonderful bow-tying technique that doesn't leave any knots or bumps? Check this out. Totally worth it.
I decorated my Sandwiches using fabulous stamps + dies from MCT (recipe below).
MCT Products Used
A Day In December Stamp Set ("Believe" Star)
From Our Family To Yours Stamp Set (Bell + Tree)
Warm Holiday Fun Stamp Set (Stocking + Ornament Tag Dies)
Just Tags Stamp Set ("To:")
Thanks for stopping by today!
I hope you were inspired!
