I've been making cards that will hold gift cards for my teenaged nieces and nephews for Christmas and have been having fun using the Close To My Heart Artiste cartridge to do so. I followed the Freshly Made Sketch #65--love their sketches! The scalloped edged card was cut at 5" and can be found on page 55 of the Artiste handbook. I used a double sided paper that was given to me as a gift many years ago. The patterned paper is old CTMH Holiday Red B&T paper. The tree is from Christmas Love and was stamped onto Sunny Yellow CS (now retired) in Topiary ink and embellished with my favorite accent--Stardust Glitz Glitter gel. The Merry Christmas greeting is also from Christmas Love and stamped in Topiary ink. A strip of Topiary CS goes under the tree. I used Buttercup Liquid Pearls to color in the yellow star at the top of the tree.
It was very easy to assemble this card. Here are pictures of the inside including the bank gift card.
This greeting is from a very old rubber mounted CTMH greeting set called Christmas Fun Set.
This greeting is from the October 2012 Stamp of the Month set called Very Merry Christmas.
I'm also entering this card into the Forever Friends Fortnightly Challenge (Christmas theme), Exploring Cricut "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" and Top Tip Tuesday (Anything Christmas theme with special rules).
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
