I always have 3 or 4 people that I need to give gift cards to and this is the card that I created this year for them. The color combo is from the Color Coach and isn't one that I would have picked out myself but love how it looks.
The base of the card is So Saffron with layers of More Mustard and Rose Red card stock. I stamped the base with the Christmas tree image using More Mustard Ink.
The snowman is from the set Snow Much Fun and was stamped with Jet Black StazOn onto Very Vanilla card stock before being colored with markers.
The hat, buttons & boots are colored with Basic Gray; the hat band & scarf are colored with More Mustard; the dots on the scarf are colored with Rose Red; and the birds & snowman outline are colored with Bashful Blue.
The saying is stamped onto Very Vanilla card stock with Jet Black StazOn and then punched out with the Modern Label Punch. This was layered onto Rose Red and More Mustard card stock that was also punched out using the Modern Label Punch. It was attached to the card front with dimensionals.
On the inside of the card, the base of So Saffron card stock is folded to create a flap which is going to hold the gift card. Use the Word Window Punch to create an opening in the center of the flap for a gift card. To finish the left side, I stamp the bird on the snowball image in More Mustard ink three times across the bottom.
For the inside right, I stamp the Christmas tree image with So Saffron ink onto the Very Vanilla card stock and then layer it onto Rose Red and More Mustard card stock.
Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!
