My husband was going through a bunch of his computer stuff the other day. What a mess! I thought the shredder was going to explode. But I happened to spy some cute little cases in the trash which I snuck out.
We usually give gift cards to my nieces and nephews for Christmas so I thought these were the perfect size to doctor up and give them in. I decided to use an old book of sheet music as the background paper.
- Use the insert that came with the case as a template, cut pieces of sheet music to size and score folds on a scoring tool
- Cut a piece of foamboard to fit exactly inside the case.
- Decorate foamboard and sheet music with stamps.
- Add double sided tape to the back of the gift card and place on foamboard.
- Insert into case- you are done!
- I added a label designed and printed on the computer.
You could also use ribbon and lots of other embellishments to pretty this up. My time is tight right now so I went simple. You could also use old CD cases in the same way.
I am flying to Miami on Friday to drive back to VA Saturday with my newly expectant daughter, her puppy and bunny. Woohoo, road trip! Merry Christmas everyone!
