Christmas Cards with Starbucks Gift Cards

This was one of the designs I hated.  I am not happy with this one, but I was in a tight spot!  I needed a gift for my T.A.'s at school who saved my life over a hard semester.  

The cover seems unfinished.  It needs some type of background and/or horizon line.  My plan was to use white glitter to make them sitting in snow, but the glue made the paper curl.  

This type of design works well to attach gift cards because you can cut slits in the inside cover for the gift card and then glue on the front design to hide the slits.  Even though I hate it, it may give you inspiration for something better.  Please share with me your own designs for gift card holders!  We can do better than Starbucks, right?!

Tools:  Clear stamps (I arranged the snowman and snowflake stamps and put them on one large clear block to make one stamp instead of stamping each separately), blue heat embossing powder and heat gun, Martha Steward corner punch, exacto knife for slits,  and rubber cement (my favorite).
