Impression Obsession DT Challenge: Last Minute Holiday Gifts

It's our last challenge of the year, and the Impression Obsession team is sharing ideas for a last minute holiday gift item. Gift cards are always a great last-minute go-to, and creative presentation is always a plus.

 I used the Gift Card Insert 1 die to add some slits to a Mitten die cut - it's a great fit for this larger die. I'm actually a huge fan of gift cards since I'm insanely practical... I think the gift of allowing someone to shop for exactly what they want or need is incredibly thoughtful. I also love the challenge of spending those cards down to the last penny. :)

To create a cuff for the mitten, I turned the die around and created a sort of rectangle.

I cut two Large Bows and trimmed the tails off for the decoration. I also used the Button set (threaded with paper strips) and the Pine Pair dies.
