Fine Feathers gift card holder

Hello crafters, I'm back. Happy Bank Holiday Monday.  I love long weekends.  Who doesn't?

My Fine Feathers stamp set has had an airing. The card has a pocket inside to hold a gift card and tag to write your greetings. All stamped with black StazOn on Very Vanilla card.

The back is made with a 6" x 6" piece of Modern Medley DSP.  Mark at 3" on all four sides and score from 3" mark to adjacent 3" mark so that when you fold the triangles in the points meet in the middle. When folded it measures 4 1/4".  The front of the card is a 4 1/4' x 4 1/4" piece of Very Vanilla card. As you can see, one triangle/flap is adhered to the card front.  The other 3 triangles fold in and are held in place with tiny 5mm magnets. You can see both magnets a photo further down - also instructions for the pocket :) ...

For the pocket, cut a 4" square in half diagonally (you will get two pockets from a 4" square). Score on the two short sides at 3/8".  Snip the ends diagonally and fold under as you see in the photo below. Put adhesive on the flaps and adhere to one corner as above, not too close to the folds.

I will take photos and write up instructions for the box envelope later in the week.

Delicate Doilies with delicate designs scalloped edge

I love how this turned out.  I hadn't used this stamp set in a while.  I don't know why because it's one of my favs.  The colours are quite an unusual combo for me... Always Artichoke, Pool Party and Crumb Cake.  Stamped on Very Vanilla card.

The beautiful embossed and scalloped edges are achieved with the Delicate Designs folder and coordinating Large Scallop Edgelits die. I very recently purchased these and only wish I hadn't waited this long to go for them.

'Thinking of you' is from Peaceful Petals stamp set, new in the spring/summer catalogue. I used the retired Always Artichoke seam binding ribbon to finish off the card just because I have some left over.  Pool Party or Crumb Cake ribbon would coordinate nicely too.

This is a 5" x 5" card so I custom made the envelope with the envelope punch board.  How did we ever manage without this amazing board?
