Hi everyone! I know! I know! You came expecting Easter! I’ve been thinking about this die set and what I would make with it….then I walked by this little stack of Santas that I’d printed before Christmas and didn’t use and thought one would be adorable with the Journal set!
So I die cut the journal in watercolor paper and did some ink smooshing with Distress Ink Gathered Twigs ink refill and water. I didn’t wait for it to dry on it’s own. I dried it with the heat tool.
Here’s a video of it… it might be low resolution at first until it completely downloads…even though it’s only 27 seconds! See it HERE on Instagram…
I had some scraps/strips that I kept of plaid from the Memory Box Jolly Christmas 6×6 pad and I love how they worked out on the front and on the inside!
You can tell what the size of this folder is because there’s a gift card inside.
You could stamp or write in permanent ink on the mirror gold little labels.

the back….
And now I’m thinking what a cute tag this would make on an Easter basket! There’s several dies in the set I didn’t even use!
Linking to some challenges…

You are the most talented lady I know… love this idea & see tons of inspiration with these dies. Always love your posts…
I love the look of this and it’s ideal as a gift card holder. There are a lot of good parts to this die set (yes, you made me look). I should have bought some Easter dies because I don’t even feel like making Easter cards with what I have. I’ve been making Christmas cards most recently, too.
Oh this is so cute Pam! I wasn’t expecting Santa, but love it!
So cute! Love music also!!!
