This gift card holder or small gift box was easily die-cut and trimmed with belly band die-cuts. The flamingo was stamped, colored in and placed as an accent along with the sentiment.

Christmas Wreath Card ~ MCT 5 Days of Christmas ~ Day 3 Cards

This week we will be sharing with you LOTS of last minute Christmas ideas, such as cards, tags, treat holders, gift card holders and whatever else comes to mind that will help YOU get your juices flowing for the holiday!

Today is our 3rd day of our 5 Days of Christmas! We all will be showcasing some quick and EASY cards!
This card was easy to put together. I pre-stamped a wreath with different ink colors, die-cut a trim piece and a doily and then stamped the sentiment. This could easily be mass produced by preparing the sections in multiples and then assembling everything at the end.
This is below one ounce for mailing, which for me is a bonus.

This is an open gift box in the shape of a sleigh. It has a rectangle open box at the base. The sides are in the shape of a sleigh. I chose to use the same paper and bow on the back side of the sleigh box as well.

Flower jar encouragement card ~ amazing, brave, strong.
Here is a floral card, perfect for encouragement or support.
Sentiment: You are amazing, you are brave, you are strong.
I love flowers in a jar. These could be cotton buds, but I added color to them anyway. For the frame accents, I used a masking technique along with distress ink to blend accent edges. The flowers and the jar were shaded with Copics.
See the complete quick video tutorial:

Hello beautiful vellum stamping girl card.
This is an all occasion card using vellum and torn edges for accent.
Sentiment: Hello beautiful.
One of the techniques that I love is adding color to vellum stamping. For this girl, I added Copics to the opposite side of the stamping. This created a soft look to the stamped side.
For the accent, I wanted an imperfect ragged vellum edge, tearing in towards me. Color was added to the edges using an ink pad.
See the complete quick video tutorial.
