A Coupon For You

Hi Everyone,

I have a fun little card to share with you today. It was made specifically to show off the new Star Coupon stamp from DRS Designs. Back in the day, I mean waaay back when I was a kid, I used to make coupon books for my mom all the time.  Having no money for Christmas and birthdays, and enjoying crafting even back then, I would give her the promise of chores around the house.  Like any awesome parent, she acted like it was the greatest gift ever, although I don't remember her actually redeeming any of them :)  So making this was a trip down memory lane.

I used the Interlocking Stars for my background and added a punched border that also had stars. I made a pocket for my coupon using my Spellbinders dies and a piece of vellum for the coupon to show through. I then hand stitched it together.

Here's a shot of the coupon pulled out, and you can see that I added a bit of ribbon too.

And just a closer look at the stars that I colored to match the background.

I would have loved this as a reward for good report card grades, or how about an anniversary gift for the husband?  So many uses and it's way more professional looking than those coupons from my 8 year old self :)
