Description

Instructions

  1. Small confetti envelope card1

    Place your card on top of a piece of scrap paper. Use the eraser of your pencil as a stamp to create confetti dots in a random pattern on the card, and reload with ink after every one or two times that you stamp. After you’re finished with your first ink color, wipe off as much ink as you can with a paper towel. Continue the stamping process with your remaining ink colors.

    I decided to heat emboss just the pink and teal dots, leaving the white and gray dots to dry flat. This gives the final card a bit of textural contrast, and it helps the brighter colors pop even more against the gray. Liberally cover the dots that you’ll be embossing with clear embossing powder, return any excess powder to its container, and emboss using a heat embossing tool.

    Voilà! Your confetti covered card is finished. The embossed dots will be glossy and slightly raised.

    Center your mini envelope on the card, and attach it using double-sided adhesive or glue.

  5. Small confetti envelope card5

    Baby envelopes are a perfect fit for standard-size gift cards. You could also slip some cold, hard cash in there, if you prefer.

  6. Small confetti envelope card6

    Stamp your sentiment onto white cardstock and heat emboss, just as you did earlier with the dots. Then, use a 1.5” circle punch to punch out the sentiment.

    Attach the sentiment to the sealed envelope using double-sided adhesive or glue. Slide your finished greeting/gift into a matching A2 envelope, which you can also decorate with confetti dots.
