Hello and happy Monday. It’s been a wet and dreary few days here in PA and today is just more of the same. While I wait for a beautiful May day, I’ll just create pretty floral projects. My share today is one of those projects. With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, I created this card and coordinating gift card “pocket”. The pocket is actually a small (very small) bag that was purchased at JoAnn’s. They came in a pack in white and kraft. They are the perfect fit for a gift card and are easily embellished.
Along with embellishing the envelope, I really enjoy embellishing the inside of my cards. I think by handcrafting our cards, we have the opportunity to create really unique cards inside and out and I love that!
And here’s a look at the gift card pocket…
This combination of card and gift pocket is perfect for all the upcoming occasions: Mother’s Day, Graduations, Father’s Day, as well as, the regular occasions: Birthday, Anniversary, Thank You.
Lastly, I’m playing along with the current Tic Tac Toe Challenge…I chose a few different ways to play.
(1) Left side diagonal: Flowers, Free, Die Cuts (2) Second column down: Butterflies, Free, Patterned Paper (3) Third row down: Gem/Embellishment, Patterned Paper, Die Cuts
I hope you have a wonderful day and are looking forward to a good week ahead.
Take care,
Rosanne
