Happy Holidays Everyone! It feels waaayy too soon to be saying that, especially with the beautiful weather we've had in Cambridge this week, but the holiday season is upon us despite the balmy temps. Every year I buy more and more gift cards as it becomes harder and harder to buy the perfect gift, and I always worry that it's a bit of a let down for the recipient...where's the fun?! So I was really excited that our theme this month is gift card holders--we are bringing back the wonder!
I am once again featuring the colourful and fun Coming Home bundle and DSP--because I can't get enough of it!! The DSP includes two sheets of this full 12x12 scene.
I'm not a scrapbooker but this is such a great scene that I knew I wanted to feature it somehow in a card, and this pull out design was the perfect choice.
It took a bit of fussy cutting to get everything to line up just perfect, but I think it was worth the effort. :)
I followed a tutorial from 2018 on Patty Bennett's blog for the original pull-out dimensions, but I altered the gift card holder to be a full pocket, so that the scenic design wasn't interrupted.
I also decorated panels on the back of the pull-out and the card base, so there was a space to write a holiday message without disrupting the design.\
I have loved colouring these little houses and trees! They are very simple designs and the perfect size to practice shading with our Blends alcohol markers.
