I used the Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons and

sewed it to the 1/2" circle which I adhered to the flap.

The bow was created with the Bitty Banners Dies. I

embossed the flap with Northern Flurry Textured

Impressions Folder

I used the "Twitterpated & International Bazaar" Designer Paper for the gift card holders, I also used our circle punches to layer under our mini scallop punch. The Calypso Coral Ribbon is the finishing touch to keep the flap closed. 

A close up so you can see the Velcro I used on this one to have it close.  You can put any gift card inside or money!
