Hi Guys! It's that time of year again. The holidays have wrapped up and I always like to take an opportunity to send an extra special "thank you" to a few people. Particularly those family and friends who live far away and took the time to send me a gift in the mail.
These took a little more time to mass produce, but the were still super simple to put together. I just put on a podcast and started cranking my die cut machine. I die cut the Holiday Presents Die from white cardstock six times, from black cardstock six times, and from red, from blue and from green. To save colored cardstock I used small pieces placed only under the present I needed in that color.
I adhered the white gift 'frames' to the white circles cut with the large circle die from the Love Mom Layers Die. That is such a staple die set. Once the 'frame' is in place all of the colored cardstock can be quickly inset in the perfect position.
I adhered the black 'frame' on top, but slightly off set so that some white peeks through. I gave everything a coat of shimmer with a clear Wink Of Stella pen.
The rest of the card comes together really quickly. A little bit of stamping on the card panel before adhering my circles. I chose the Hand Lettered Thanks stamp set to create a custom sentiment on the front as well as add a secondary sentiment to the inside of the card.
On the back of the cards I added the small presents stamp from All The Cheer to my personalized stamp. The image perfectly coordinates with the die and brings the whole design throughout the card. This is a great way to further customize those personal stamps for occasions and holidays. I'm sure you have several small images in your stash that would work.
Now it's time to get these in the mail! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and your new year is off to a great start!
