Instead of Gift Cards, try this!

Lunch coupon book instead of gift cards, idea by Patty Bennett

A family member recently moved here to the San Francisco Bay Area, and we are thrilled it will give us a chance to see her more often and I thought it would be fun to introduce her to some of our favorite local places for a meal out!

So instead of going to all the restaurants and buying gift cards, I made lunch coupons redeemable for lunch out with us!

Use the Take your Pick tool Perforating tool for the Lunch coupon book instead of gift cards, idea by Patty Bennett

 

I printed coupons onto Avery Labels using the Avery website and their available graphics and my color laser printer at home.  After applying the labels to Stampin’ Up! cardstock, (a colored layer and Thick Basic White) I used the Take Your Pick tool with the Perforating Crafters Tip to give each sheet a perforated look.

To assemble, I stacked them together, stapled them and then covered the staples with a piece of Masterfully Made designer paper that tied in the rainbow of colors I used.

Of course one needs fun, pretty packaging, so I slipped the coupon book into an empty Stampin’ Up! die envelope and lined it inside with a piece of the Masterfully Made designer paper.
