Gift Card Hand Bag

I made this a while ago for a friend who was having a birthday.  It holds a gift card and there is space to write in it like a card.  I got the idea from Amanda when we made the mens gift card wallet in technique class.  She's full of brilliant ideas!

The stamped images are heat embossed in black and I made the rose on the front.  I cannot figure out how to rotate this picture though.

What I've used:

Card : Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White

Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Best Yet

Velcro dot to fasten

Black ribbon I found in my box

Snowy Decorations

I have cased this card by Genesis that I found on the splitcoast website.  I've changed it around a bit and used different colours.  Please let me know what you think.....

Lots of masking and stampamijgging, but it was fun to create.  Will definitely be doing this one again.  Next time I might try heat embossing the decorations.

What I've used:

Card: Pacific point, Whisper White

Stamps: Delightful Decorations

Ink: Pacific Point

Embossing: White - for greeting

Bling: Dazzling Diamonds and Rhinestones

Red Embossing Powder - Yippee!!!!!!!!

Today I had to have a puncture repaired and it was going to take an hour and a half to fix it! "No problem" I said as I looked up an saw that I was near Spotlight, a place I very seldom have the time to fossic in.  It was lovely to be able to explore all the goodies that they have in store at a leisurely pace.  As there is no scrap, stamp or craft shop any where near where I live, this is the closest thing that I get - pity they don't sell stamps (or is it just as well that they don't sell them - can't decide which).  Anyway, I discovered RED embossing powder and ideas started to flood into my head.  Here is the first card that I did in the 15 minutes I had between bringing the groceries home and getting the kids from school.  I'm quite pleased with it and can see many variations being stamped out over the next couple of weeks.  Let me know what you think.

What I've Used........

Card: Whisper White, Real Red
Stamps: Delightful Decorations
Ink: Real Red
Heat Embossing: SU Silver and Zing Rouge (not as good as SU either - doesn't go nice and smooth but I quite like the effect it has.)
Ribbon and cord from Spotlight
