Hi everybody! Welcome back for Day 5 as my Growing in Unity Week comes to a close at Unity Stamp Company! I hope you've had a fun week seeing all kinds of folds and some of my favorite things. I know, I sure have! You've inspired me with your kindness and projects. And I hope I've inspired you to try something old and make it fresh and new again!
So it wouldn't be my final day if I didn't share one more oldie, but also a goodie...Do you remember Gift Card Holders...made from upcycled toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls? Because I know you have some in your recycle bins, as we've all been hoarding the TP for weeks! (lol).
And I'm sure some of you are like "EWE," nope, not going to use those. And that's fine. I get it, my little sister was like that too (lol). You can actually buy brand new rolls, just the rolls. Really! No kidding, at Michael's or online. Or just use a paper towel roll and cut it at 6" for todays project. Or cut it at 5 1/2" (in half) and you can get two smaller gift card holders from one paper towel roll too! We are up-cycling, re-purposing, and saving the planet today!
For today's project I'm making a Masculine Gift Card Holder and a matching Masculine Birthday Card for my eldest son, who turns 21yr next week! It's all about the boys today! Along with some of my favorite things, like, motorcycles, sports cars, glitter pens, plaid, and tags!
I have 3 sons, so cars are all the rage at my house. But I bet you didn't know I spent a 2 week honeymoon on the back of a motorcycle touring Canada and their ferry system to the islands! Fun times!
Okay...enough talk...Let's get started on some projects...

Okay...enough talk...Let's get started on some projects...
Tutorial-Gift Card Holder: Lets get our supplies together. You will need a 6" roll, MISTI stamping tool, glitter pens in red and clear; Versafine Onyx black ink; ribbon, and our two big stamps. Click or hover over pictures below for more directions.
Here is a close up...it's hard to see the sparkle on the windows and the body of the car, but it's there. Not too much though, it is for a boy! And shhhhh it's our little secret...nobody has to know we upcycled a toilet paper roll and made a gift card holder!
Next I used Unity's April Sketch Challenge to make a matching Birthday card to go along with the gift card holder!
Tutorial-Card: I started with an 8.5x11" gray piece of 110lb cardstock as our card base. Cut in half to make an A2 sized card. Cut a piece of chalky black piece of patterned paper from the MME paper pad A2-4 1/4x 5 1/2" and adhered to the card base. Cut 2 strips of patterned paper from the same MME paper pad and adhered like shown above. Click or hover over pictures below for more directions.
Here's another peek...what do you think?
