Starbucks Gift Card holder idea

Are you almost ready for tomorrow?? We will start at around 4 PM so I will have to wake up early to prepare all the side dishes and corn bread. This year we are also going to play Bingo after dinner so my SIL and I got a few gifts for the prizes. I found on Pinterest THIS cute idea to package a Starbucks gift card and here is how I made it: 


when I got the gift card I asked the barista for an empty cup and lid

I used a piece of brown packaging paper for the inside and white tissue paper for the pretend 
"whipped cream"

using scissors I cut a hole in the middle for the straw 

it was too long so I just cut it a bit

add a tag and barkers twine and voila'! Easy and cute!

And now back to work, I have to pack my mom's dishes to bring to my brother's house for tomorrow.

  7. Such a cute idea...I think ideas like this make gift cards mean a lot more. Back before I even knew what blogging was (like 2004), I bought a lowes gc for a friend who had bought a new house. I put it in a new, clean paint can and used a paint chip as the tag with chip brush....I think she liked the wrapping more than the gift card :).

  19. Howdy would you mind letting me know which web host you're working with? I've loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I
    must say this blog loads a lot faster then most.
    Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a fair price?
    Thanks, I appreciate it!

  20. Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to produce
    a really good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and don't seem to get nearly anything done.

  24. Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they just do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the
    whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.
    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
