All occasion card featuring a cool bicycle, pieced background, bubble paper layer with ribbon flags

 I have had this bicycle in my stash for a while and today it just came together with this paper and I made this card!!  I chose a dark neutral for my large card and cut my background into four pieces before adhering them to my card.  I watercoloured the bicycle and added clear glitter to the chrome pieces like the spokes and rims, etc.  I added four lines of paper piercing ( pattern tracing wheel) and mounted it to a piece of blue bubble paper which matched perfectly.  I added four little fabric ribbon flags to this focal element before mounting it to my card front using 3D foam tape.  Totally fun to be making cards again!!

GA - It's a Wrap - card holders in which you can insert a gift card

 These are very fun gifts!!! They are created with circles of cotton and batting which cover a CD.  They are basted all the way around by hand and when the strong thread is pulled it tightens the fabric around the CD and is then tied off securely.  Two of these are the front and backs of these card holders and buttons are sewn on each side through the middle (hole in the CD) which holds both together and provides the friction necessary to keep the playing cards in place and yet allows them to be easily removed and replaced as the game goes on.  Really handy for those with sore or small hands which have a hard time holding a gad of playing cards all a one time!!  

 They are perfect for packaging a gift card!!  Simply place the gift card between two playing cards and insert into the holder. A gift in a gift with no waste!!!   It's a Wrap!!!  Therese
