Day 10 The $10 gift exchange game

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! Enjoying this time before Christmas! Today for Day 10 of my 12 days of Christmas I have a card set with a matching purse! I had a family gathering on my husband's side today and we play the $10 gift exchange game. You know the kind where you take turns by numbers or cards picking a gift and opening it or stealing someone else's! My mother in law had suggested that I make one of these card purses with matching cards for it! I thought why not? I didn't want to use a Christmassy one as it's so close to Christmas. Here is the purse, it's empty as I was waiting for the glue on the ribbon to dry!

I made 4 matching cards for inside. I used the PTI set Everyday Button Bits as I really like this set, I am on a bit of a button craze and I don't feel that I have really used this set as much as I love it! I made these cards more simple and quickly! Here is the first card I tried to make it masculine if need be:

It may be hard to tell but the brown panel is a wide ribbon! I also embossed it with my small dots plate in my big shot.

This is only the second time I have used the balloon stamp!

For this card I had to try doing the panel on the side with the big scallop punch as I have seen it done a lot by other people. I totally have to be honest and did not come up with this wonderful idea on my own, I was very much inspired by Malle Belles.

And this last one was the last one made right before bed! I really hoped that the person who got this gift would really like it. I put it in one of my PTI gift bags that I made from Day 4, I also threw in one of my listpads (I have a few why not?) Chad's cousin picked it and loved it! She really loved the bag too! So there you have it, why not make a card set or something else handmade for the next gift exchange game? It doesn't have to be matching or anything. People will love it! And you will enjoy making it!
