Hello everyone,
What is your favourite way to decorate a gift card or wallet, because we have a new challenge using that theme over at AS YOU LIKE IT " Favourite way to Decorate gift card/wallet"..
This is my way..
I started with a load of backgrounds, many have been used by now of course and I've probably shown you projects with them..
This one got the texture paste treatment through a stencil...
This one got blotches of red spray after being squeezed through an embossing folder..
another stenciled one, a rose this time...
sand these two had sort of patched worked on them as I ripped them...
I can be brutal in my craftroom..
and these are the ones I went with...
Oop's, that didn't work!!
so went with a border die instead, and liked it a lot better..
Managed to cut the papers to the right size, no mishaps here...yet!..
Then glued them in place on my wallet...
Added the button for a pretend closure and also added leftover die cut leaves..
See...worked out quite well..
But earlier on I had to hold everything down with strong clips as I left to room to get lunch,
came back and the panels had flown off..
the backside the same....
but it all dried and stayed together, and I put money in it,
then took it out and put it back in my purse..
We are sponsored by Dies to Die for..
So come on over and share your gift cards and or wallets, remember to tells us why and you will be good to go..HERE
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..

You could give that to someone empty and they would be more than happy Chrissy, just beautiful! I tried clicking the link to the challenge blog but it brings me back to you lol.
I love when people show their "boo-boo's" and how they fix them up! Thanks for the awesome tips and beautifully made backgrounds! xx
Your backgrounds are always gorgeous Chrissy and this makes a lovely gift wallet (even if it IS empty!!!)

A bit of trial and error, but that's why I love crafting. It worked out fabulous in the end. Elaine
A lovely envelope Chrissy and it turned out brilliant! Love all the colours. Big hugs, Carol S.xxxx
Oh wow what a stunning background you've done here Chrissy!! Really love the collaging and the added die cut leaves! Really great money holder/wallet idea especially with that button in front for the closure area! Great job my friend!
those were some great backgrounds to work with, good thing you cut the base wrong and not one of your great backgrounds, like the faux closure idea!
