"Happy Father's Day" with Whimsical Wednesday

Can you believe it's almost father's day? Today's challenge at Whimsical Wednesday is in honor of dad's everywhere - a Father's Day card! I made a gift card holder that doubles as a card....I'm not going to lie though, I needed a gift card to use in my creation and I took one out of my wallet that I forgot was even still in there. Guess where I'm having lunch tomorrow?! :)


The outside...


The insdie...

And a different view so you can see the gift card...

If you'd like to give it a try, you can find directions on how to put it together HERE. I don't have the nestabilities, so I just use an exacto knife. It's really easy!

This week our sponsor is Joy from Joy's Life. One random winner will receive Joy's stamp set called You're So Punny. Please click here to visit Joys Product page. Thank you Joy!
