Winter Wonderland gift card and candy winner

Wow what a fantastic response we had to last week's Winter Wonderland challenge. This week Danielle has challenged us to make a Christmas gift card holder. This week's fab prize from The Stamp Barn is

Now I have never made a gift card holder before but there are several tutorials out there, which are listed in this week's WW post. I decided to go with my own idea for this one inspired by the fab sketch at Truly Scrumptious with the option to make the tag a hidden message. Instead of a tag I used foam pads at the top and bottom of my lovely Whiff of Joy image leaving a space in the middle to insert my gift card. I added some glitter and faux stitching. Papers are DCWV Rose tinted Christmas, snowflakes are from an MS punch and the sentiment is from Alissa's Paper Town.
