At my upline's monthly meetings, we often do a swap, and this month's theme is either a gift tag or a gift card holder. I started out with an entirely different project in mind, but quickly realized that I didn't have enough of the ribbon I was going to use. So I changed gears and came up with this design:
I started with a 4-1/4" by 7-1/2" piece of Baja Breeze cardstock and scored it at 2" and 5." I stamped the snowflakes with Baja Breeze ink for a subtle tone-on-tone effect. Using the oval coluzzle template, I trimmed the top flap. I created the belly band using Ski Slope designer series paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog. The medallion is made from a snowflake stamped in Baja Breeze on Whisper White cardstock and punched with the 1-3/8" circle punch. I layered a Riding Hood Red scallop circle behind it and attached it to the belly band using stampin' dimensionals.
Here's the inside of the card holder:

great idea, isn't it funny how you have an idea in your head and it the finished product comes out totally different then your original thought?
I love this, Marilyn! That belly band is just perfect.
