Tender Tags - June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the Tender Tags Blog Hop! This month we have 42 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using June's Stamp of the Month and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! If you have come here from Dawn Heuft's Blog you are on the right path! If this is your first stop, you may want to go back to Jena Devries' Blog and start from the beginning! Here's my card...

With all the graduations this month, I decided to make a gift card holder. The finished size of this card is 2 ½ x 4 ¼ and holds the standard gift card. I stamped the image in Crème Brulee ink onto Colonial White cardstock, stamped “congratulations” in chocolate ink, and then stamped over the entire image in versamark, covered with clear embossing powder and heated to give the tag a glossy appearance. This technique can only be done with clear stamps which is why I love our stamp sets. Imagine trying to stamp over an image in the exact spot with versamark using wooden stamps. That could only be done if you have x-ray vision.

These are the gift cards I am making for my daughter's teachers. I used the same technique with Blush ink. I used Chocolate ink to stamp the flourishes onto the Amore B&T. This is the card the ladies made during our Embossing Class which I promised to post.
