Well, it's that time of the year for gift gifting...
and for many families that begins with the Thanksgiving holiday if you're trying to fit in all the families on both sides and extended ones.. so we've put together a great hop today with plenty of ideas to make those gift cards look like a million bucks! I personally love gift cards... no hassle in returns, wrong sizes, etc. and with the ability to buy cards for even Visa and/or MasterCard, how could your gift even be considered to be re-gifted!
They will surely find something they want or need..
For hopping today, we have a gift for some lucky person. A 17.95 value Close To My Heart Merry and Bright Holiday Stamp set. You'll have a great little set to make your Holiday cards, gift tags, or other décor. A winner will be chosen by Nov. 6th so I can get this in the mail and off to the winner in plenty of time!.

Now let's get hopping! If you havent already started head to Janet's Creative World where it all began (and where those awesome stamps are up for grabs!)
Today turned out to be the perfect day as Michael decided to buy his sister a gift card for her birthday and needed a holder.
I have never created a gift card holder before. I just bought a great die to do one but as I haven't tried it out I figured the learning curve might take longer. (Boy was I wrong!) I found some tutorials on YouTube and worked from some of those instructions.
First I cut my Kraft cardstock and used my favorite border punch on the edge. Then, as I nearly always do - I edged everything with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
Next I cut some birthday paper to fit both of the outsides.
I didn't care for the belly band idea with the pattern I was using so instead I added a few glue dots on the back and put a coordinating ribbon.
I added a bit more of my patterned paper and a sentiment inside.
And finally I am finished!
I've posted the line-up in case you get lost... Happy Holidays!
