Gift Card on CHRISTmas Card

Hi Bloggers - well, this was not TOTALLY my idea - I lifted the TP gift card idea from Karen Letchworth's posting at The Kraft Journal and then expanded it to have a hidden message, gift card, and CHRISTmas card all-in-one. I am liking this idea - it works perfect for a gift and card combination, don't ya think?  I will be making more! :)

Thank you for stopping by today

Be blessed! 
Recipe
Kraft Cardstock for base of card
Empty Toilet Paper Roll
White First Aid Tape to close the bottom of the TP roll
Darcie Snowman Catching Snowflakes Embossing Folder ran through the Cuttlebug on the TP roll
Spectrum Noir Markers - orange for the nose, black for the mouth, and brown for the stick arms
Hampton Art Glitter Glue - red and black
Rangers White and Silver Liquid Pearls 
Brown Gross Grain Ribbon
Cuttlebug Embossing folder for the front of the Kraft Cardstock 
Kraft Journal Tag - compliments of Karen L - thank you
Inkadinkado Mittens stamp
Clear Dollar Stamp Sentiment
Studio G Black ink
