The gift certificate holder starts with a piece of white cardstock folded in half and glued on the two sides. I used the silhouette to cut a reindeer out of some pretty Christmas paper; the contrasting piece of Christmas paper that I used for the border I just cut with some scissors; finally, the Merry Christmas sign was printed on my printer and then fed through the Silhouette to cut it into the shape I selected. I added a few scribbles of silver glitter paint and a red plastic bow for added fun.
For the gift card holders I tried a couple of things..... the first one was my design....I chose a fun border/frame and then began writing Christmas related words within the shape in different font styles and sizes; my version of subway art! I printed it on a pretty paper and then cut it on the Silhouette. I felt like it needed a little something more so I used some green glitter paint to trim around the edge.
I am absolutely floored by the intricate cutting this machine can do. I added a rhinestone to the center for a little something extra and look at that --- awesomeness!
There are so many possibilities--keep it really basic, or decorate them with snowflakes, rhinestones, sequins, or other goodies.....so fun!
