Try Stampin on Tuesday #91

It's Tuesday and time once again for Try Stampin on Tuesday.  It's been rather rainy and cold around my parts the past couple of weeks and would just love to see a little more sunshine, but fall has definitely arrived and just around the corner there is that dreaded "S" word...yes folks snow.
So with the "S" word in mind I thought I would combine my take on this card with Canada'a #1 coffee shop and make a gift card holder.  Not just any gift card holder, but a buckle gift card holder.
I also decided because I was so late in making my card this week to combine it with another challenge over at 2 Sisters.  There challenge this week was to use pastel colours.

Either way I hope that the "S" word does not happen too soon, but if it does I know that the recipient of this gift card will certainly enjoy their warm cup of their choice.

I hope you like what I have come up with.  Now it's your turn.  Head on over to TSOT or 2 Sisters and join in on the fun.  I know the designers at TSOT have some great ideas to share with you.

Nancy

    1. Thank you Cherie. This is a buckle card. Regular A2 card but with approx. 1 1/2" cut off the front and a hole punched into the front of the card that the buckle can fit into. You can just see the hole on the front of the card in one of the pictures. The buckle slides right into the hole to hold the card closed. Thanks again.

  4. I see the buckle with the snowflake - but. Do not understand how that can slide into the rectangle hole? Must be more to it
    Could you elaborate?

    1. Thanks for your comment. The snowflake is set on the buckle portion about 1-1 1/2" inches in. This leaves a portion that will slide into the hole that you punch. Hope that helps. To see a better idea of the buckle card check out another of my cards at http://seedstlc.blogspot.ca/2011/12/christmas-buckle-card.html

  5. I love this card. I am wondering what the measurements are for an A2 card? Also, what did you use to cut such a great slot for your buckle to fit into? I'd love to make these for my friends in our Ladies Time Out group.

    1. Thanks for your comment. An A2 card measures 4.25x5.5. So using half a sheet from an 8 1/2x11 cardstock will give you the card base. The slot is made by using the word window punch from Stampin Up. Hope that helps. For another version of this type of card please visit http://seedstlc.blogspot.ca/2011/12/christmas-buckle-card.html
