Hi there dear friends!!! It's hard to believe that we are only 15 days away from Christmas!!!! My hubby and I are going to go out tonight and do a little shopping tonight, so I thought I would bring back one last blast from the past!!
Use Your Scraps
Like me, I imagine that you have lots of Christmasy patterned paper laying around your scraproom that you just can't bear to throw away...well I have great news for you!! I have an easy card pattern that will use up those scraps and it will make a great Thank You card as well!! I used some Merry Mint papers from American Crafts that I had laying on my scrap table and they were perfect for this project!!!
This card starts with a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" base. Add a 2 x 5 1/2" strip over the fold and you have the start of a cute little card. Stamp some cute images on your base and add some embellies and you have the perfect Thank You Card for after the holidays!!!
I stamped some basic snowflakes from the PTI Holiday Tree Set and a PTI Signature Greetings sentiment on the Kraft Card Base.
I stamped the sentiment on some scrap paper and I cut it out to use as a mask. I adhered the mask to the card base with removable adhesive.
I stamped the tree images over the masked sentiment with Versamark ink and some transparent, glittered embossing powder and used the heat gun to set it.
Then I peeled off the mask and added all the embellishments and it looks like it took you hours to make a special thank you note for your friends and loved ones!! Only you will be all the wiser!!
