Unique Birthday Gift Card Holder

Today I am sharing with you a gift card holder that I purchased at a local grocery store which I converted into a card/gift/money holder!

I tied the finished product in a green ribbon.
This is what it looks like when you first open the container. All papers are from the Colorbok Bright Punch-out pack, patterned ribbons are from American crafts, blue and green chipboard alphas by K&Co., flowers by Prima and Petaloo.

This card doubles as a wall hanging, making it a unique gift! It is double sided so you can hang it 2 different ways. Cupcake stamp by Inkadinkado.

Heart gem brad by Oriental Trading.

Littlest Pet Shop Birthday Card for my youngest daughter!! I used a bunch of scrap papers, American Crafts ribbon, colored staples, and cut out a Littlest Pet Shop dog from her invitation cards I purchased.

To make the dog have a bobble head, I pulled the wire out of a wired piece of ribbon, coiled it into a spring and adhered with a 3D Pop Dot!
