Coffee Gift Card Holder Thank You Box

Hello Ai fans!!

Today is my birthday so I thought we'd celebrate with a drink!

A little while ago two of my friends brought my family a wonderful dinner...just to be nice!

I wanted to give them a little thank you so I made them these gift boxes with some hard coffee in them.

I used the 5222 – Coffee Gift Card Holder.
There's no gift card in it this time.  I didn't make it to slide up like other times I've used this set.  It was just meant to be a decoration on the front of the box to emphasize that this is a coffee themed gift.

There's no coloring on my coffee cup.  This is all done with dies. The star, rosette and coffee sleeve are all part of the set.  I made the rosette look like an award and used a die from 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies.

I strung some curling ribbons through the pop tops to make the cans feel festive.

A few years ago I made a similar gift box.

You can see the box that inspired this one HERE.

There's also a link on that post to another box I made that has the tutorial.

My friends both said that they loved these! The box AND the hard coffee...they're really good.  You should try them, and I don't even drink coffee!

Welcome little man!

Hello Ai fans!

Before I share my card I just want to say Happy Anniversary to ME!!  9 yrs. ago today I shared my first post as an Art Impressions Design Team member.  I have loved every single day working with these wonderful owners, employees and of course the other designers!

Now...onto my card.

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for a co-worker.  She's pregnant with her third son. 👶

I used 5184 – Baby Boy Set.

The ovals were cut using 5065 – Oval Double Stitched Dies.

The little hearts inside were cut with dies from the 5222 – Coffee Gift Card Holder.

She was due July 2nd so he'll probably be here by the time you read this!

The BABY BOY in the middle folds flat when you close the card.

There are 11 adorable images/verses in this set.

I managed to use 7 of them on this card.

The airplane is popped up on foam tape to give it some dimension.

Congratulations Melissa and family!

Proud Nurses run on COFFEE!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for some people in the medical profession.

I've been receiving names from multiple people and have been trying to send out cards to as many people as I can.

I used 4899 – Proud Nurse Set 

and 

5222 – Coffee Gift Card Holder

I know nurses work a LOT of long hours so I thought putting her on a coffee cup would give them a little chuckle.

I used several more images from the set on the inside.

I made 4 copies of the same version.

I hope they brightened some people's days.

Art Impressions Coffee Gift Card Holders!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing another card that I made using the 5222 – Coffee Gift Card Holder.

How cute is this set?? 

When you grab the cap and pull, out comes the gift card!

I've added a coffee gift card to my card but even though it's coffee themed you could put any gc in here.  I don't drink coffee but I would still enjoy receiving this card with say...a Michael's or Hobby Lobby GC! Ha ha!

I used another of the stamps from the set on the inside.

The stars were also cut from a die in the set.

The coolest thing is that you can mount it on a card or just use the GC holder on it's own.  This is the other version that I made to share with you.

Which do YOU prefer?  Placing it on a card or leaving it "as is?"

I can't decide!

New Gift Card Holders from Art Impressions!

Hello, Ai Fans!

Get ready for the release of these perfectly giftable Art Impressions Stamp & Die Sets!

I hope you all love this new set as much as I do.  How many of us has a friend... or 10 that are obsessed with coffee??  Even if they aren't, this is such a cute way to give a friend a gift card of any sorts!

When you first give the card it looks just like that...a card.  Then your friend realizes that the lid pops off and they have an extra special gift inside!

I created two versions, both very similar.

For some reason I felt like twine really went with this set.  I know everyone has a different vision for stamp sets but I saw twine.  I can't wait to see what you all create with this amazing new set!

The second addition for this week is our Mailbox Gift Card Holder Enjoy this special delivery--a stamp and die set that is a gift-card holder with decorative elements for any occasion. Ten dies and 8 stamps are included with this versatile and sweet set. 

The brand new Small Alphabet Set is a great companion to add an address, recipient, or name on the mailbox!

I love this new mailbox.  It has SO many possibilities!
When I made this I didn't have the instructions and had never seen on put together so I kind
of "winged" it.  My flag and closure arrow are not being used the way they were
meant to be but they still look cute to me and got the job done!

When you open up the mailbox it reveals your gift to your friend.  Mine was a GC to my mom and pretty much my best friend.  We love to go out to lunch and shopping when I have a day off.  (she's retired...darn her!  But she deserves it!)  I have to wait for a holiday or weekend! lol!

You can find these three new sets at artimpressions.com

We want to see how you create cards or gift tags with any recipient in mind!
