It’s Hampton Art Design Team Member Dana Warren and I’d like to welcome you to another day of Scor-Pal and Hampton Art Feature Week. Both Hampton Art and Scor-Pal designers have made some great projects, so make sure to stop by both blogs all week long. And of course there’s prizes!!

I made a super cute and easy card gift set. First the card. I started with a couple 12 x 12 sheets of Kraft cardstock to make my cardbases.

Next I placed one card in the Scor-Buddy and scored at the triangle and the one next to it.

Then I scored another line at the 3.5 line.

Next I rotated the card and scored two more lines.

I repeated the scoring for each card until I had 4.

Now on to some stamping!! I stamped a swirl and star in Putty ink. Next I stamped the pine tree with Olive Pastel chalk ink. I really like using this ink for tree on Kraft paper. First here’s a pic just after stamping.

And here is about 30 seconds later.

When the ink dries, the tree looks even more like a pine tree!

Last I stamped Merry Christmas across each card.

Now we are going to make an easy envelope to hold the cards. Take a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock and score it at 6 inches

Next score one edge at .5 inches and fold.

Next move the cardstock down so the folded edge is up against the Scor-Buddy. Then score at 5.25 inches.

Next cut your card stock .5 inches from the 5.25 score line.

Fold the 5.25 score.

Add double sided tape along the two flaps

Next carefully fold the cardstock at the 6 inch score, so you are adhering the flaps together.

And now your cards envelopes should fit into your envelope.

I used an eyelet, button and twine to secure my card envelope. But really you can do it any way you want to.

I went on to stamp and embellish my envelope. I also added a tag so I can give it as a gift this Christmas.

I hope this inspires you to make a gift card set! Make sure you stop by the Scor-Pal blog and Hampton Art blog each day this week for some great inspiration and prizes!
