    Gift Tag ~ Enclosure Card

    Sunday, November 2, 2008, 01:30 PM CST [General]

    Here is a new tutorial to create gift tags or enclosure cards to include with your holiday gifts. This was so fun to create and I love the way the tree looks all glittered up. These two stamp sets are certainly a favorite of mine. I think you can tell this though without me telling you. I also love the shimmer the Pebbles Inc. Pearlescent Chalks have... they add the perfect amount of shimmer. I hope you give this tutorial a try. If you do make sure you let me know... I would love to see it.
