Spring card and gift card holder

Well heeeellllooooo! Anyone still there? Sorry to not have called by here recently, but the post holiday to do list kept me away from my stamps for longer than I'd hoped.

There's an old UK TV advert which says something like "does what it says on the tin", well our holiday was just that! Sunshine, pool, beaches, books and a bit of exploring - just what we wanted, just what we needed, just what we hoped for and just what we got!! Anyway, I guess you are here to see some pictures. I needed a card and gift card holder for a friend's birthday. The gift card holder is in line with Moxie Fab's challenge. In addition, the weather here has been unusually warm and beautiful, so I went for a spring feel, which so happens to fit with A Passion for Papertrey's current challenge. Two challenges in one!

So here's the card which I based on this one.


Here's the gift card:


And here are the two together:




I'm keeping it brief today as I still have a mountain to achieve and 3 kiddos to keep me company. Not that I'd have it any other way, but a few more hours in the day would be nice!
