Vintage FOAM Buttons- Gift Card Holder

Ok so this was NOT on my todo list.. I NEED to make some birthday cards.. but do you ever have times when something POPS into your head and you MUST create it to get it out! LOL! That happened just this AM! I was NOT going to play along this week with PTIs Make It Monday Challenge #4.. but then this idea snuck in.. and wouldnt leave! So I WHIPPED it up.. and now am off to work on birthday cards! :)

Thought it would be FUN to make a VINTAGEY gift card holder! Wouldnt a fabric store gift card be PERFECT in it!! :) ANYWAY.. wanted it to feel like you found this little treasure tucked in your grandmas sewing supplies! :) Used foam for the bottom button! Inked them up REAL GOOD! :) added a PTI button and some twine!

Supplies- CS, Ribbon, Stamps, Inks, ribbon, aqua buttons- PTI (Tim Holtz distressed ink is used too!) FOAM- from Michaels , Flower Prima, Little Pearl Pin- by ME! :)

THANKS for stopping by! Hope your week is GREAT! I am off to make birthday cards! :)

    The soft and sweet colours look fabulous in this layout. And the foam buttons don't look "foamy-y" at all.
