Gift Card Holder Instructions:

I stamped my images with the Brutus Monroe Detail Ink and let them dry overnight.  I colored them in with Prismacolor pencils and then trimmed the images out by hand.  I worked with Got Pumpkin stamp set for the gift card holder and then Dreamcatching and the Heart Lace Background stamp for my second card.

Use Jumbo Media Tag from Brutus Monroe, along with the Therm O Web Mini Runner and cover the front and back with pattern paper of your choice.  Trim edges to match tag edge. Fold and use a bone folder to create a good crease.

Measure the width of tag and cut a strip of paper 1/2 inch wider than tag and about half the height of the gift card you are using.  Trim the intersection at the bottom, to take out some of the bulk. Fold sides in first and then using Mini Runner tape the bottom piece up on the sides.

NOTE: Don’t run the tape over the entire bottom (like I did here!), just where the bottom will cover the edges.TooltipText

Add your ribbon thru the holes in the top and tie the holder shut!

Smile Stamped Card Instructions:

My next card was kind of an experiment of all sorts.  I played with foil, wax sheets, embossing and coloring all on one card!

Smile card Bruno Monroe Swap Katrina Hunt

Cut a sheet of the Gina K. Designs black cardstock in half to create a card base.  At the same time, stamp the sentiment with an embossing ink and then emboss.  Trim and set sentiment to the side.

Trim down a sheet of the Foil-Mates Background – Holiday Flora to fit the front of your card.  Foil using the Summer Rainbow Deco Foil Transfer Sheet. Trim ribbon to fit Foil-Mate and adhere ends in on the back.  Then adhere foiled FoilMate to the card front.

Die cut large label shape from Deco Foil Toner sheets and foil with Deco Foil in Gold. Adhere just under the ribbon at the top using 3D Foam Squares.

Stamp the Heart Lace background on one of the Premium Wax sheets with an embossing ink.  I used pink embossing powder to emboss, you could use any color you wanted!

Once you have embossed, then die cut using the medium label die. Adhere this shape with the Mini Tape Runner on top of the gold foiled die cut.

Adhere fox and sentiment with 3D foam squares on top of your die cuts.  Attach the fallback bubbles from Brutus Monroe above your sentiment using Zots Bling.  Tie and bow and attach with a small Zot.
