Happy Monday! Kim here with a FUN gift card holder using the FALALALA die and But First Coffee stamp set! These two may not have ever been meant to”play” together, but play well they do!
This past summer I purchased a set of pewter reindeer ornaments. They were each individually packaged in burgundy envelopes, perfectly sized at just over 3.25” x 5”. I saved all nine and have been decorating them to used for gift cards! [ reduce-reuse-recycle! ]
I started by die-cutting my FALALALA die from a scrap. These dies....cut like butter! 😍
I then embossed the die cut using Dragon Berry Modern Gilding Powder. I used two coats to achieve this smooth, dimensional look. The colour is amazing and I LOVE how it keeps the details!
I stamped my coffee cup and quote onto some white Creative Scrapbooker Super Stock using Ranger Archival Black Ink.
Next, I edged my card using Distress Oxide Ink and adhered my embossed quote after running it through my Xyron. You could stop at this step, but why?
I stamped the coffee cup onto a scrap of water colour paper and quickly scribbled some colour on with my Derwent pencil crayons.
Using a water brush, I smoothed the colour out and cut along the lines of the image.
I like to edge hand cut images like this with a black marker. I used a few small adhesive foam squares and placed it on top of my original stamped image. Randomly placed sequins snow flakes, finish the gift card holder perfectly!
I have tucked in a $10 coffee card in a few of these. They will be the perfect little gift to say thank you to people who I want to acknowledge this time of year!
I won’t be on the blog again until the New Year! HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours!
