Baseball Themed Gift Card Holder

Good morning ~ today I wanted to share a birthday gift card holder I made for my son's friends birthday! They played Tee~ball together this season. So his parents wanted to do a baseball themed party! Well I really didn't want to ask the Mom what he needed ~ she probably would have said clothes! Moms are the practical ones. The birthday boy would have NOT liked that at ALL!!!  If I would have asked the birthday boy himself, it would have cost me a great deal more ~ never want to disappoint them! So I thought gift card! Well Emma over at My Creative Time has the BEST solution to that ~ she has this AWESOME Embossed Gift Card Holder die! Perfect for not just birthdays but so many other wonderful occasions! I also thought I would , SIT DOWN FOR THIS ONE, pull out the Cricut! Yes ~ it has been awhile since I used it! Actually had to dust that baby off! I wanted to put everything I could on it about baseball! So after many cuts and may I say that baseball was cut out numerous times! This was the best one ~ sure don't like those small cuts from the Cricut but it is what it is! I am certainly not investing in another machine at this point. I added a MCT sentiments and some ribbon ~ done! I know he liked it because we just gave it to him over the past weekend!

Materials Used:
My Creative Time ~ "Embossed Gift Card Holder" ~ die
My Creative Time ~ "Gift Card Sentiments" ~  Happy Birthday sentiment
My Creative Time ~ "Sport Sentiments" ~ MVP on star
Cricut Cartridge ~ Sports Mania
Paper Trey Ink and paper from my stash

Ribbon from Michael's
Star came from cuts from my stash

  6. Kim, what an awesome gift card holder! That little boy is going to love it! All of your cuts look just awesome - that baseball glove somehow has a 3-D look, and I love the woodgrain stamp on the bat (or is it paper)! Super cool!!!
