Christmas Doodles Gift Cards

The NEW Christmas Doodles CMS505 stamp set from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous is so cute! I wanted to make something little to match them so I had these pre-made 3x3 gift enclosures with matching envelopes and decided to use them to make little gift card enclosures to pop on a present. There is just enough room inside each card to put your TO: and FROM: 

I hope you enjoy watching this very short process video! 

I punch a 2" hole in the center of the premade 3x3 gift cards after I stamped the sentiment all across the front in Ground Espresso Archival Ink. Then sprayed the front with Vintage Photo Distress Spray.

For the inside I cut a piece of 275x2.7 Mixed Media Heavystock that I colored with Antique Linen Distress Stain. Then I stamped the same sentiment over the MM Heavystock with Antique Linen Distress Stain. I stamped the image with Ground Espresso Archival Ink, then colored with Distress Inks. 

To finish the front, I put some Liquid Tinsel Fine on my finger and pounced it around the outside edge. Then attached a tiny piece of viontage lace in the top right corner, tied some twine through a vintage button, and stamped and trimmed the sentiment stamped on the inside and outside onto a thin strip of paper and trim the end. Attach it on the lave and behind the button.

To finish the inside, I pounced some Liquid Tinsel from my finger onto the outsdie edge of the MM Heavystock liner. I also used a fin tipped brus to paint some Liquid Tinsel onot different detail of each image. 

These were simple, but took awhile because of all the repetitive stamping, but I think it was worth it. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
