Next, we love this gift card idea from Keri. What a gorgeous idea using just two tags and Times Nouveau. Amazing!
"With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, I wanted to come up with an inexpensive, but still personal way to give a gift card.
It’s as easy as taking to 2 Graphic 45 Tags and adhering them one on top of each other by just gluing the edges. This forms a little pocket that is just the right size for a gift card!
Now all you have to do it decorate it however you want!"~Keri
