...as a gift card turning into a Christmas Card but with a small difference....
I had scraps of coloured cardstock sitting on my desk after completing a couple of other projects & instead of putting it all away, I thought I would attempt to make a small gift card. Once I finished it & as I have to create a "Master Plan" for tomorrow's class, I took it one step further & created a Christmas Card.
I used Retired DSP on this card, but it can be quickly turned into a completely different card using the DSP - Letters From Santa which is the current Xmas Paper or any DSP for that matter!
Base Card - Cherry Cobbler - 5 7/8" x 4 1/4" or 15cm x 10.5cm
Layer 1 - DSP - 5 3/4" x 4" or 14cm x 10cm
Layer 2 - Cherry Cobler - 5" x 3 5/8" or 12.5cm x 9.5cm - Scored in half
Layer 3 - Old Olive - 4 7/8" x 3 1/2" or 12cm x 9cm
Layer 4 - Very Vanilla - 4 3/4" x 3 3/8" or 11.5cm x 8.5cm
Using my SU Marker - Chocolate Chip, I drew squiggley lines around the edge of the Very Vanilla Cardstock. I stamped my 2 images using Cherry Cobbler & Old Olive Inks direct onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. I drew 2 lines from the images to the border around the card using my SU Markers - Chocolate Chip.

I stamped my 2 images using Cherry Cobbler & Old Olive Inks direct onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. I drew 2 lines from the images to the border around the card using my SU Markers - Chocolate Chip. This piece was adhered to Olid Olive Cardstock & then to the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock. Using 2-Way Glue, I randomly applied this to the stamped images & applied Dazzling Diamonds - cannot be seen very well in the photo. This was my original gift card.
I adhered a piece of Very Vanilla Grosgrain Ribbon to the lower half of the DSP, tied a knot & then adhered to the Base Card - Cherry Cobbler. The Gift Card was then adhered to the LHS of the Base Card - as per photo.
I stamped the sentiment using Chocolate Chip Ink onto Very Vanilla, punched using my Oval Punch & adhered to a piece of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock which had been punched using the Scallop Oval Punch. I adhered this to the Base Card.

Wow Vicky, I really love this. The fancy fold is very clever. Your faux stitching and placement of the elements is perfect. Really gorgeous.
