We all Scream for Ice Cream Gift Cards!




I was working on some homemade magnets for the kid's teachers. Epic Fail. Plan B=Gift Cards.  I searched pinterest for cute holders and saw these:Pig_lwk_cho_1_large

Cute and they looked pretty easy.
I busted out some chocolate and vanilla colored card stock.  (I made mine 7 inches wide, so when folded it would fit in a regular envelope).  Then I cut a 3 1/2 piece of brown and cut waves in the bottom to look like melted chocolate. I used my corner rounder, to round all the corners. Then I used photo corners to attach the gift card and glued a Popsicle stick on the back.



For the record, I think the original out of felt are way cuter, but overall I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Although now I really want a Costco ice cream bar.  Hopefully the teachers will appreciate that I didn't give them a coffee mug or lotion.
