Mini Vintage Gift Cards!

 Hi Blank Page Muse Stamps Fans!

Hope you are all enjoying our "Vintage" theme this month and that you have been able to join our current challenge - there is still time to play along!

Today I am sharing some mini gift cards - you may remember a few months ago I created some cards with paint chip sample backgrounds and collage elements - well I really hate throwing out even the tiniest of scraps so I decided to use the excess paint chip pieces and make some similar cards but on a very small scale! Great for using up scraps of plain coloured card too!

I love that you can also use this idea for mini cards for any occasion!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Background Grunge Set

Scrap Card any Colour cut to size and folded in half

Paint Chip Sample Off Cuts cut to just smaller than mini card front

Embossing Pad & Embossing Powder

Collage Images - "Art Tea Life" collage Sheet used for these cards

Small Embellishments & String, Ribbon or Fibre

General: scissors, glue, ruler, heat gun, hole punch

Instructions:

Use your scrap base card to make mini cards that are slightly smaller than your scrap paint chip samples.

Start by stamping and embossing your paint chip samples.

Adhere the stamped and embossed paint chip to your mini card front and punch a hole n the top corner.

Add a small collage image and small stamped sentiment and any tiny embellishments.

Punch a hole in the top corner of the mini card and add some string, ribbon or fibre to use to attach to your gift or xmas tree!

Thanks for joining me today and I hope 2021 brings you lots of time for crafting!

Have fun creating!

Little Cards, Big Snark

Hello, hello! Samantha here with a really fun idea to share with you. I often need quick gifts and my solution is to make mini card gift sets.

They're perfect for the recipient to keep on their desk or even in their car when they want to give someone a quick note but don't have time to order a handmade card. 

The thing that makes these cards even more special is that they're snarky! You don't need to use snarky stamps but I think they are so unexpected and awesome.

For this project you will need:

• Four 3"x3" white card bases
• White cardstock cut to 5.5"x5.5"
• White cardstock for sentiment strips
• Sticky embossing ink pad
• Gold embossing powder
• Black ink
• Blending inks in pink, pinkish purple, and blue violet shades
• The Whimsical Daisy Doodle Flower Art Rubber Stamp for Borders Backgrounds Pam Bray Designs 
• The 'I can go from normal to insane' Word Phrase Rubber Stamp
• The 'There's no changing a man unless he's in diapers!' Phrase Rubber Stamp
• The 'Don't let people drive you crazy when you know it's walking distance' word phrase rubber stamp
• The 'Common Sense' phrase stamp from the A Wing Above The Rest Rubber Stamp Set
• Optional; sequins

To begin stamp the Whimsical Daisie stamp all over the 5.5" piece of cardstock with sticky embossing ink. Heat emboss using gold embossing powder.

Next apply your pink ink to the panel

followed by the pinkish purple shade,

and finally with the blue violet shade.

Cut the panel into fourths. Each square should measure 2.75"x2.75".

Apply to the card bases.

Stamp your sentiments into white cardstock with black ink. Cut into sentiment strips and adhere to the card fronts. Add sequins if you'd like.

Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my tutorial. I hope you have a great day.

Until next time,

Samantha
