Cheryl at her blog had written her idea about used paint chips. Your paint chips are a good media for gift card. They are bright in color and quite thick, so ideal for gift card. What you really need is the creativity to make your used paint chips become unique and attractive.

I like the idea of Cheryl, adding the emboss snowflake to her card. The snowflake become the center point of this card. The finished emboss snowflake pattern is attached to your card, so it is like a little window opening.

Here are what Cheryl do for her used paint chips:

1. Trim the paint chip to the size you need.
2. Glue on a ribbon to cover the text at the bottom. You can cut the text off if you don’t want to use ribbon.
3. Hmm, that red ribbon is a bit plain, so I’ll add a gold ribbon on top of that.
4. Heat emboss a small design onto a scrap of cardstock, and glue that to the back of the paint chip so that it shows through the window. I embossed a snowflake with Versamark ink and gold embossing powder.
5. Dry emboss a background on the Cuttlebug, or use plain or printed paper.
6. Attach to a folded card, and you’re done.
