Still Cramming After All These Years

I thought when I finished school all those many years ago that I'd be done with cramming at the last minute but I was wrong. Now I'm cramming to get cards done and go to on line parties in the same night. So the midnight oil is burning away but I've finished up my gift wrapping the bridal shower present project.

Some of my friends chipped in on a gift card and I was asked to make the card. I thought it was going to be a credit card type gift card but it turned out to be a certificate in a box. I had been planning on making a gift card holder card so I had to shift gears and come up with another idea and this is the results. I actually like this idea better than the original one. I hope my friends aren't put off by the bright colors.



I wrapped the gift card box in white card stock and made a belly band to go around it and then put a coordinating "seal" on the band. The edges of the cardstock on the belly band and the edges of the cardstock on the inside of the card were punched with the same border punch to pull it all together.


In this stamp there's rain pouring down in the background but since I'm not using it as a get well card I changed the rain into little hearts and covered two of them with red glitzy glitter and glossy accents.

Getting the card up on my blog brings home the cramming feeling. It's the typing and writing, reminds me of having to get a paper done. So here it is and all that's left is to list the deets and the challenges.
