Get off your soap box and recycle it into a cute gift tote

August 14, 2009 by Stefanie Girard

doveboxafterEileen Hull posted this cute makeover of a bar of soap box into a cute gift tote and shares the how-to with you. She did something with this that has been on my mind to try for awhile, this is to send a page from a book through my printer, thus recycling old paper and incorporating whatever was on the page into a new design. I think she did a great job!. I also think making a bunch of these to have on hand would be a very good idea! I could fill them with jewelry or other little gifts.

How to Make a Cozy Coffee Gift Card Holder

How to Make a Cozy Coffee Gift Card Holder

If you’re gift giving to a coffee lover give them a gift card to their favorite coffee shop in a handmade coffee themed gift card holder. Nicki created this delicious and cozy card with a rounded flap that has a die cut Cup of Joe and some tasty cookies.  For the cookies she die cut and dry embossed them, adding some white pigment ink for color and texture and glitter for sugar. I love how the bold red mug pops on the blue card base!

Inside on the flap is a pocket for the gift card and a sweet stamped and die cut sentiment.
