Gift of the season

Hi there! Did you miss me? Although I did create a few cards in the past few weeks, I simply did not have the time and energy to take pictures and post them on my blog. Hopefully, they will all make their way to the blog this week.

First up, there's this clean and simple card that I created this afternoon. Yesterday, I had been browsing an old PaperCrafts special issue (Holiday Cards & More volume 7) and was inspired by a card by Cristina Kowalczyk. I knew right away that I wanted to CASe her card using my NBUS gift die by Cutplorations/STAMPlorations.


I die cut the present from an experimental Brushos panel and die cut the bow from gold glitter card (Marianne Design). To add a little more definition to the gift box, I went around it with a Versamark marker and heat embossed in gold (Papermania). I used liquid glue to adhere the bow to the box, but added a foam dot below the ribbon ends. The sentiment is from the Small Folded Banners set (SSS) and was stamped in black (Altenew crisp ink). I popped up the box using foam tape (SSS).
