Looking for a quick, cute & personalized gift card holder?

I've got one for you... its the

"Flutter Bird" by Memory Box!

Using a half sheet of cardstock (lengthwise cut of 8-1/2" x 11") “flutter bird” uses Ink Potion #9 and Memento too. Cut and fold the glossy cardstock into thirds (roughly – it doesn’t need to be precise).

For the 'potion', I used 12 drops of Memento Bahama Blue inker and 12 drops of Arctic Emerald Opalite inker in a small spritzer (our .8ml size) and added Ink Potion #9 to fill. I sprayed it on a separate piece of glossy cardstock to show the brightest color possible. When it was dry, I punched a large flower - and stamped the words "Spring is Here!" (also Memory Box) over the top of the flower.

The flutter bird was stamped on a tiny white tag. It was colored with Memento Markers (scribbled onto my palette tray and picked up with the water brush – that was filled with Ink Potion #9 to achieve a soft look).

Optional: The middle and the right cards also have Memento color, direct to paper, added to the front of the cardstock (before layering the remaining pieces).

Next stamp the perimeter of the green color block with the words "Spring is Here!". Position the flower and bird tag onto the green color block and, punch a tiny hole, affix them with a mini brad. (I also punched a tiny flower out of the same cardstock as the large flower and glued it ontop of the brad.)

If it isn’t very easy to tell from the photo –the layer of green, the flower and bird are attached to the front panel. The third panel is folded inward and a diagonal swervy cut was made to create a pocket. Add adhesive to fix the bottom of the pocket. Viola!
