Stampin' Up! Spice Cake Gift Card Holder/Card/Puppies- please answer some questions!

HI friends! How is everyone? I have had a sick boy at home the last 5 days, so I have been a bit pre-occupied, that and making up my kits to mail you!. Oh how I love making Kits! My current ones are my Christmas Shares and my Spice Cake Kits


Ok, by now you all know I LOVE Stampin' Up Spice Cake Designer Paper, right?


Well I am taking a poll- HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE IT????


Do you mind seeing another card made with it? This one is so cute! It can actually be a gift card holder. I got the idea from Joan Gross from our Stampin' Connection site. 


I was babysitting my neighbors dog over the weekend, as I do daily, because she had to go home for a funeral. I decide to decorate her house for fall, so my little girl and I brought over some decorations and decorated her kitchen. I left this little card for her.




Now here it is partially opened


And now all the way opened. On the card one, I wrote my sentiment in the middle, on the gift card one, I made my own little envelope to put a gift card in.


Here is the back side


Isn't it pretty, but then I did not make it up!
Here is how the front should look. Can you tell what I did wrong in the first one?


Materials used:
Spice Cake Designer Paper
Very Vanilla and Pool Party Card Stock
Soft Suede 1 1/4 " stripped ribbon from my ribbon share!
Victoria Lace Ribbon and Twine
Spice Cake button
Scallop Trim Border Punch
Scallop Circle Punch
Friends Never Fade Stamp Set
Soft Suede Ink

To purchase any of the supplies please click HERE
Remember, everyone who orders from me in September, gets to be in a drawing for a stamp set! This includes Online Orders, Local Orders, Club Orders, Share or Kit orders! You name it, you purchase from me and you are going to be included in the Drawing this month! 

Now do you want to see my pups? The black and white one is mine. The cute little one is the one I sit and  I have another one but he was sick too!





OK , now for YOUR part!!  I asked lots of questions 
{hint, hint, the words in bold} in THIS post! 
Who will answer me so I don't feel like I am talking to myself!!!

I LOVE Stampin' Up! Spice Cake!


Oh I love this paper and have used it for so many things. Today I needed a Sympathy card and saw this card by Sandi McGiver. I have had this stamp set called Gently Falling for some time now. I got it in a package for demonstrators with the Spice Cake Fabric, Designer Paper and Buttons but was afraid to use the stamp since it is a two step stamp but it was so fun and easy!

No sooner, did I finish the card and found out I need to make another Sympathy card.

Here it is, I changed it a bit and added the Tiny Tags Stamp and punch and the Chantilly Lace Ribbon,  but I think it turned out beautiful. I just love this Spice Cake Designer Paper.
