Christmas gift card holder

One of the reasons I love to create with Eileen Hull's dies is the incredible versatility they offer. There are so many different project ideas I have for everyone of them!!! For example if you need a quick and easy way to create a gift card holder why not trying Garden Gate album die for it?

for this project all you need is to cut the shape and embellish any way you like (which means from 5 to 30 minutes max time spent for unique and beautiful gift solution, depends of course on time you want to spend to decorate ^.^ )

for the gift holder you see here,
after I cut the fence I painted it with Antique Linen Distress paint and let it dry, then I applied Distress clear crackle paint Rock Candy and Distress paint Picket Fence over the top (these are all Tim Holtz of course) ^.^

for the finishing touch I added Ranger Antiquities embossing powder Frosted Crystal for even more more frosty look

the rest is the stamping, embossing, painting, inking and distressing ^.^

the supplies are:
distress inks: Walnut Stain, Rusty Hinge, Evergreen Bought, Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, Iced Spruce
distress paint: Picket Fence, Antique Linen,    
Biscotti Perfect Pearls Mists, Reindeer Flight Tim Holtz stamp

here you can see a bit of how shiny it turned out ^.^

P.S. thank you for stopping by ^.^ wish you christmassy inspiration and joyful crafting!
