ODBDSLC260 A Gift for you!!

Hello, Friends!! I hope you are all doing well!! As time keeps fleeting by so does my preparations for Christmas!! It is hard to believe that in less than 2 months, Christmas will be here!!

I have made a gift card holder for this week's Double Embossing ODBDSLC260- Heat and Dry Embossing challenge at ODBD!!
I was inspired by a gift card holder I got from my dear friend, Grace, last Christmas. I used a similar design with the pocket in the middle but added an additional pocket for my bookmark.

Here are individual pictures with more of a close up:

Front created with embossed blue snowflakes using the ODBD Snowflake Background, Delightful Decorations stamps and coordinating Die, as well as the ODBD Circle Ornaments dies. The circle was dry embossed with a Darice Lattice Embossing folder.

This is the inside with the pocket in the middle sticking out so you can see the back and front of the inside pages. It uses the Snowflake Background for the snowflakes you see on the background as well as on the bookmark. The bookmark is embossed with holographic embossing powder. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Deer Stamp set recently released. It is cut out and matted using the Antique Labels die. The pocket is created using the Leafy Edged Border die. The pocket itself is dry embossed.

The bookmark is created using the Bookmark die at ODBD using silver metallic paper. The snowflakes are created with the Snowflake Background. The entire background is embossed in holographic glitter so it really sparkles in real life. The ornament at the top is created with the Tree Trimming Trio die.
