Sisters are so special! One of my customers asked me to send a Gift Certificate to her Sister for her birthday. I couldn't just send a piece of paper and so this is the gift card I made for the certificate.
The roses are from the 8x8 La Romatique paper pad by Graphic 45. The back side of the paper had a bride on it, so I lined the paper with a coordinating color. A border was cut out of another sheet in the same collection and attached at the bottom to overlap the top. , I stamp the Happy Birthday stamp from JustRite's Just A Note Stamp Set and cut it out using the Blossom Nestie. The border was stamped on a separate sheet and cut out with a larger Circle Nestie. Both were popped up with the Therm-O-Web Dimensional. A silk bow gave it the finish touch.
This is the inside of the gift card. I used Score-Pal Scoring Tape to attach the sides, making a pocket to insert the Gift Certificate. I didn't notice until I was posting this picture that my adhesive square is crooked. bummer!!! I have on order some circle Velcro dots for the next gift card I make. I think it will work better.

I'm sure your customer's sister is going to be thrilled when she receives her gift certificate Joan, what a beautiful presentation!
I agree with Jerri. I'd be happy and proud for both gifts. From you and the sister.
I agree with Jerri too. This is so gorgeous. Love your thoughtfulness and personal touch Joan.
Awesome idea Joan! I need something like this myself ... thanks for the wonderful creation to case! They are going to be thrilled with this and of course I love that beautiful ribbon bow!!
this is perfect Joan..I love it- think I am gonna case it! tfs!
Imagine my surprise - first when I opened the envelope from Joan and saw the enclosed gift card, and then just now when I logged on to Joan's Gardens to start shopping!!!
As the lucky recipient of this gift card, I can tell you it is absolutely gorgeous! It's so much prettier in real life, and really is an incredible presentation. A couple of my local stamping friends took me to lunch for my birthday yesterday, and you can bet there were some oohs and aahs when I showed this to them.
So nice when people take the time to go overboard! Spectacular, and it sets your shop above others, for sure :^)
It's beautiful! Thank you so much, Joan. And as predicted, me seester loved it!! :-)
