Hello Kitty Gift Card Holders

First of all, wanted to apologize that my last post didn't have the picture of my Fifth Avenue card. I was having trouble uploading from my phone, but thought I had it worked out. But I didn't....anyway, click here to see the updated post.

Well, I'm back from Vegas and never thought I would be so happy to return to the weather here. Vegas was HOT, HOT, HOT!! Over 100 degrees during the day and not going below 90 degrees at night. I think the worst was when we tailgated before the UH/UNLV game, and it was 106 degrees!! The game itself was a bummer since we lost a heartbreaker at the end....but we met lots of cool people and ate great local food. And the one bright spot was that I won some money for winning the 3rd quarter pool. But I still came home with much lighter pockets! hahaha Anyways, on to today's real post....

There are lots of people at work who just love Hello Kitty (who doesn't, right? LOL), so we decided to make some HK gift card holders to sell at the mini craft fair. I had to beg Korin to make all the HK faces since she is really great at this kind of detailed stuff (and she's super quick to boot!).

Here are some pics of the different color schemes and themes of the HK gift card holders we made:











These proved to be more popular than we expected, and they sold out in a few minutes! I made over 80 of them and couldn't believe that they were all gone before the official start of the sale. But that's a good thing, right, since it was all for charity?!

Thanks for dropping by!
