So rather than just putting it into an envelop, I wanted to think of some creative way to present it. My solution was to matte the gift card and then glue it to the plate.
Wa-lah!

Plate Gift Card
As a gift for a wedding, we got the couple a cooking class for the two of them so that they can learn how to use all those fancy new kitchen gifts.
So rather than just putting it into an envelop, I wanted to think of some creative way to present it. My solution was to matte the gift card and then glue it to the plate.

Poker Chip Frame
As the only right brained person in my family, I am always asked to do the creative things. My brother for Christmas asked if I could figure out if there was something to do with all of his Las Vegas poker chips. So I decided to create something he could hang on the wall.
Supplies:
-Poker Chips
-Shadowbox Frame
-2" Circle Cutter
-Matte Paper ( I chose red and grey)
-Photo matte paper (I chose black)
-Glue dots
-Exacto knife
-Ruler
Step 1: Use the exacto and the knife to cut the photo matte paper to the size of the shadowbox frame
Step 2: Use the circle cutter to cut out the number of circles for the chips you have
Step 3: Figure out how you would like to arrange the chips within the frame. I chose to organize mine by white and blue
Step 4: Use the glue dots to adhere the chips to the paper, then the paper to the matte
Step 5: Put together the frame

Wedding Ornaments
So recently I went to a Wedding and I wanted to do something special for the bride and groom. I decided that I was going to make an ornament with their wedding invitation.
Supplies:
-Glass Ornament
-Ribbon
-Invitation
-Scissors/Exacto/Paper Cutter (I used a paper cutter)
Optional Supplies:
-Stickers
-Glitter Glue
Step 1: Shred the invitation into 1/4 inch thick slices
Step 2: Twist the invitation so that it curls
Step 3: Feed the invitation into the clear glass ornament. For mine, their invitation came with a peacock feather, so I included that as well
Step 4: Tie a Ribbon around the bulb to be able to hang it from the tree
Optional Step 5: Add the stickers or anything else to add a bit of pizazz
Optional Step 6: I used the glitter glue to calligraphy an "H" for their new last name
