Today I have a gift card holder for that Starbuck's lover on your list. This was a project I got a couple of years ago from a good friend anf fellow Fiskateer. I finally got around to making it!! Can you believe having something for so long before getting it done??!! Anyway the Starbuck coffee sleeve is most likely not the same design this year but you can make it with any of the sleeves they have. I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't say first hand what may be available there this year.Here's how I made it.
First is the cover. You cut on side open with decorative scissors and the other side you punch 2 holes 3/4" from each end for the ribbon closure.
This is the first page when opened. On the left is the sleeve as is with an arrow added. On the right is a double-sided paper that is the size of the entire sleeve when opened. This picture is showing the back side of this paper. The following picture will show the opposite side and it covering both sides. In addition some more papers were layered along with "Eat" (the start of the phrase Eat, Drink and Be Merry). Some Raindots were added for a little bling, along with Rub-Ons from a Heidi Grace Xmas line.
Turning the page shows you the center paper that was cut to fit the entire opened sleeve. On the left Ornaments were stamped and colored in with CTMH markers. I also added some glue and Prisma Glitter to add a little sparkle. You also punch the same 2 holes in the fold of this paper to run the ribbon through. The right page has the word "Drink" which has some Raindots and Rub-Ons also. It also has a strip below the main word saying "latte, mocha and coffee that is..." Just a little clarification for the word "Drink". lol
These are the last pages. The left page is the completion for the " Eat, Drink and Be Merry" phrase. Some green rickrack was added for a little decoration. The right side is where you slip the gift card in where the arrow is pointing at. I plan on writing "Love from...to ..." on the arrow. With some Rub-Ons placed on the Merry Christmas tag and a couple of flowers this page is done. Add the ribbons through the holes in the fold and the gift card is complete.
I hope you like it.
