As Hockey season came to an end with the official team party yesterday, I volunteered to make gift card holders to present to the coaches on behalf of the parents and kids. We purchased some restaurant gift cards so that they could enjoy some time with their families after having given us a great deal of their time throughout the season. This is what I came up with. The team is the "Bruins" - so the Black/Yellow combo came easily. While I used it for a thank-you, this particular card could easily be a adapted to a Birthday or other Best Wishes card for the hockey buff on your greeting card list!
The card is held closed by the removable band.
And here is a picture of the inside.
While the card is small (only 3" x 4.25") there is enough room on the inside panels to house a personalized message and signatures - and I just love how the card fits neatly inside.
The focal image I used is from the retired CTMH Power Play stamp set, one of my personal faves! Hockey is a huge part of our lives, and unfortunately in my experience hockey stamps and scrapbooking supplies are truly hard to come. I'm not sure why that is, but it's true. Baseball tends to be everywhere, but ice hockey, not so much. If you do need to add some hockey stamps to your collection though, you might check out In the Game - Hockey which is currently available from Close To My Heart. It has some cute images, and some really great hockey phrases that would come in handy for sure.
