Stamps: Merry Motifs, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, This Is Big Sentiments: Happy Holidays  
Dies: Go-To Gift Card Holder: Book, Go-To Gift Card Holder: Book Pockets, Go-To Gift Card Holder: Book Box, Merry Motifs, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, Into the Blooms: Swag, In Frames: Ovals Die Collection, Rounded Rectangles: Pierced Die Collection

Ink:  Pinefeather, Sweet Blush, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz
Other: Versamark, gold embossing powder, Dr. Martin's Bleed Proof White 



I diecut, stamped, inkblended, and embossed all of the elements. I constructed the book.  I arranged the elements onto the exterior of the book. 


For the inside of die cut one of the new Rounded Rectangle: Pierced dies. I scored the end so that it would fit lengthwise in the box.  I stamped, gold embossed, and diecut the inside details.  I left this simple so that a gift card could just sit right on top. 



I felt the book giftbox looked detailed enough.  I chose not to add any other embellishments.

Dies: Love to Layer: Christmas Tree, This Is Big Sentiments: Happy Holidays, Rounded Rectangles: Pierced Die Collection, Cover Plate: Stitched Snowflakes Die Collection

I stamped, diecut, and inkblended all of the elements.  I added the new Cover Plate: Stitched Snowflakes Die Collection to the background.  I die cut two of the new Rounded Rectangles: Pierced Die Collection to create a frame.



I arranged the elements onto the card base.  I finished the card with a few sequins.


As always thanks so much for stopping by!

  1. I love the idea of tucking a gift card inside a little Christmas book! The gold embossing with Sweet Blush sounds so lovely, and keeping the inside simple makes perfect sense. Your stitched snowflake background caught my attention too. These projects have me wanting to get my Christmas crafting supplies out a little earlier! diploma
