I saw Jenn Balcer's tutorial on SCS for these gift card holders. Jenn's tutorial is easy to follow and the results are stunning! I loved doing this project because I'm always short on time and gift cards are usually the type of gifts I end up giving. Instead of including the gift card in the store's envelope, why not create these beautiful things! Note: Instead of spelling out every detail I used on these gift cards, I will just say that "All Images by Stampin' Up". If you have a specific question about anything I used, just post the question.
One item that I didn't have for this project were the No. 3 coin envelopes to hold the inside message and gift cards. I went to Office Max and the smallest size they had were 500 envelopes! Yikers! I bit the bullet and bought the entire box for $25.99 + tax. I don't think I'll ever need to keep that many around. However, I noticed that they are the perfect size for holding ATC's!
If anyone is interested in buying some of these No. 3 envelopes, I will sell them to you for what I paid, at 5 cents a piece + shipping (minimum order 20 envelopes=$1.00 + shipping). Just post a message and your e-mail address and I will get in touch with you. I will be releasing 250 envelopes (half my stash) for sale.
Ta-da! I love how these turned out.

ETA: July 22, 2007 --My brother just phoned me from Germany bringing some good news! He and his wife are expecting their first child. She is only 3 weeks along, but we're thrilled with the baby news! Looks like the "Happy Waiting" gift card holder has come in handy already!

Hey Liz, you are doing great on your cards! I love the gift cards and the expectant mother was darling. I went to my Stampin Up class yesterday and had fun making 3 cards!
