Welcome to the Everything ABC’s Blog Hop!
For this hop we will be featuring the letter G. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their G element will be featured in their post.

This week I want to feature one of my favorite cuts on the Ariste Cricut cartridge, this awesome gift card holder. There are 2 different designs of gift card holders on Artiste and they are super simple to assemble.
I don’t know about you but I never have liked giving gift cards. They just seem impersonal to me. I like to give a gift that has cost me something more than just money. I like to give something of myself with each gift. I like to put some thought into what my loved one would like to have, and then spend some of my precious time choosing just the right gift. Unfortunately, I am often clueless about what would be most appreciated, so gift cards are a practical solution, but the giving of them has always left me feeling…….empty. Then I discovered these fabulous little cards on Artiste! Now I can give a practical gift card and still pour myself into the choice of papers and embellishments to make the presentation extra special…….The best of both worlds! 
I made this one with the Dotty for You paper from last year’s National Scrapbooking Month kit…..love these fun papers! The rosette is also from Artiste, there are several different designs of them on the cartridge. Artiste makes all that accordian folding super fast and easy! The flower in the center is from the For Always assortment. The sentiment is from the Remarkable Wreath (retired) stamp set, and I tied it all together with Paradise Assortment Baker’s Twine.

. I recently discovered this curse while cleaning my craft room…..again, can you relate? It seemed that in each cupboard, drawer and basket I found some little “treasure” that I had squirreled away. You know what I mean, those packaging items and left over things that most people would throw in the trash or recycling bin, (I’ve actually had to force myself to throw away the cute little ”envelopes” that tea bags sometimes come in). We crafters keep these things…..why? Because they might come in handy to make something wonderful!……someday. Here are a few examples of what I found while cleaning:
