Happy Friday, Stampers!
Today's card project was created for Sharon Johnson's "Stamp Simply" challenge. This week, Sharon challenged us to create a card with a tab feature ... like a recipe card or file folder tab. For all the challenging deets, and a look at Sharon's amazing project, clicky HERE.
If you decide to play along, and we hope you do, please link to Mr. Linky on Sharon's post, HERE. If you upload to a public gallery, such as SCS, please use keyword: ssnotime127.
I based the layout of my card using this week's Saturday Sketch Challenge by Stamping 411, SSC138. For all the sketchy deets, clicky HERE.
Since I needed a gift card holder, I decided to create a card with a pull-tab feature:
I embellished an old chocolate brown coin envelope I found in my stash with patterned paper and a stamped image, and slid a kraft tag into the coin envie. My "pull" is the grosgrain ribbon. Here's a look at the gift card holder extended a bit:
Finally, I added an orange* plastic-coated paper clip to hold my gift card in place. So easy, even I could do it!

Soooooooo, last night Sheila and I were discussing our pretend proposed trip to Las Vegas. For shopping, gambling, and miscellaneous carousing. And why not ... what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, right? Unless you're in Vegas with me ... then it'll be plastered all over the Internet! (I'm kiddin', Sheila ...)
"So, did you know that the big, high-roller casinos are now equipped with sophisticated defibrillators that deliver the precise level of shock needed to revive a heart attack victim?" I asked.
"Okay, I'll bite: why?" Sheila answer-asked.
"Well, it seems high-rollin' gamblers suffer an inordinate amount of heart atacks while gambling at the big casino's high stakes tables."
"So, if you're at a cheap-o casino downtown, what? They drag ya across the carpet and touch your finger to a doorknob?"
Dang, I would NEVER have thought to do that ...
Thanks so much for stopping by today ... have a fantabulous weekend!
*Ummm, the clip was white; I colored it orange with a Copic marker.
