Welcome friends to day 3 of the Waltzingmouse February Release Sneak Peeks! Today, Claire has charged us to show how the new sets Gift Card It and Gift Card It Dies, can be used for projects other than gift cards! Well, we all love a challenge right?! So here are 3 cards I made using the gift card rectangle die as a panel on my creations along with some sentiments from Gift Card It.
For this card - I added washi tape, a sentiment strip, enamel dots and a key charm to the Gift Card It Die and layered it onto the card base with foam dots. The NEW Home sentiment is from Gift Card It
I used the Paper Players Sketch for my card and I used metal (key charm) for this weeks Less is More challenge.
For my next card I die cut the gift card in black and scored it on an angle down the whole length of the panel. I also scored a frame on the white panel. I stamped the sentiment from Gift Card It on a sentiment strip and adhered it to a striped straw.
Close up of the scoring on the black.
I'm linking this card up to this weeks' Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge - For the Boys and
the Split Coast Stampers -Love Fest Challenge - Let's Score sponsored by ScorPal.
And for my third and final card today, I die cut and overlapped two of the gift cards. I stamped a portion of one of the sentiments from Gift Card It (the full sentiment says For Lovely You from Lovely Me) on the panel and stamped the little bouquet on a punched circle coloring it with Copics. After putting the pieces together, I embossed the whole panel and then the base panel with mixed dots.
My design for this card was this weeks' Seize the Sketch
I hope I've given you some ideas on using the Gift Card It Stamps and Dies - They're not just for Gift Cards! Now let's go check out the rest of the Design Teams creations!!

Wow you have been busy and sure made some beauties! Love the way you have the key hanging from the eyelet! Your CAS straw card is perfect! I really love that one!
These are so much fun Julia. You have really done a great job of demonstrating just how many ways this set and dies can be used! Such fun embellishments with your key and straw...so very creative.
I've just recently gotten into using sketches! Love the way you interpreted the ones you used! Great cards - love the simplicity of the first one and that cute key!
These cards are beautiful! I'm trying to decide on a favourite...I think it's the New Home one, but the Congratulations card is a super close second! ;)

Lovely! It just goes to show how versatile WMS stamps and dies can be! Your third card is my favourite - love the colours!
Where do I start?! I love the clean lines of your first card. And the scoring and straw on the second card are brilliant. And finally, polka dots - so sweet. Love them all.
