Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peek Day 2, Post 3 of 3

This is the final post for today for day 2 of the Clear Dollar Stamps sneak peeks. Be sure to check out the first 2 posts!

Hello, hello! I have to admit that I am over the moon for this little project I made to showcase the A Gift for You stamp. I used my Ornament Sizzix die to make a gift card holder that can then be used as an ornament. The CDS colors match so well with the new CC Mitten Weather line of paper, and you know I just love my CDS colors!
Look at how beautifully the colors cover the chipboard scrolls and how vibrant the color ends up being.
I have to laugh whenever I look at this picture of the $20 bill in the flap. I never have cash. . .I actually had to borrow it from my mother for the picture, lol. Kinda like high school aaaaalll over again :)

  3. i never have cash either! in fact i am known to put .99cent dunkin donuts coffee on my debit card. as dave is an accountant it drives him NUTS that I do that. He says I am wasteful with paper-every line item costs ink and paper-and I don't like being wasteful. but if i have cash i spend it like water...wait that is money anyhow-i spend it like water:(

    I can't wait to buy a couple of these for holiday gifts:)
