Gift Card Holder

I made this quick and easy Gift Card holder/card today, using the new 'Stork's Delivery' cartridge from Creative Memories.  It is cut to fit a standard A2 envelope (4.25" x 5.5").  I tried to keep some "Easter-ness" with it and use some pinks, purples and blues, and this is what I came up with:

It is a shape card, base image cut at 4", which makes the shadow approximately 4.25", which is the perfect size to fit the card in the envelope.  I embossed the dark purple with my Cuttlebug, using the Swiss Dots folder, and the pink is embossed with the Pyjama Stripes folder, which you can't see very well in this photo, sorry.  I cut a second little 'gift' at 1.5" for embellishing the envelope to match.

I cut 2 more of the base image, one in blue and one in ivory for the inside.  I cut the blue one in half width-wise and glued it to the ivory one, with enough space to hold a gift card, and glued it to the inside of the card.

Happy buggin'!

February Hello Thursday!

After finding my way through the whirlwind of January's Hello Thursday (10 cartridge releases and 6 cartridges retired), it was nice to see Provocraft tame it down a bit this month.  There are two Cricut® Imagine cartridge releases, Heirloom and Vintage Papers, and as you can see below, they have also released a cute cartridge exclusive to Creative Memories called Stork's Delivery.

My awesome Creative Memories consultant is Denyse McIntosh.  You can reach her by clicking on the Creative Memories link in my lower left sidebar.  Be sure to tell her I sent you!

Happy buggin'!
