For my friend, Val's, birthday, I made her
this card, using this week's
Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: Pockets with Edger Dies. However, I wanted to come up with a cool way to display the card with the gift (as I thought it would be way to bulky to fit in an envelope), so here's what I came up with, also using this week's MIM technique.
Now, as I said earlier, I don't own any edger dies, so I used a Mat Stack #5 die, along with some My Mind's Eye patterned paper and made a large pocket that I adhered to the outside of my kraft gift bag.
Here's a close up of the card in the pocket:
And with the card out of the pocket:
Thanks for looking!

What a beautiful gift ensemble. You did an amazing job! Your friend is very lucky to be receiving such beautiful packaging.
So very clever, I will definitely use your idea. I send a lot of gifts by UPS and this is a perfect way to package.
Great idea! lovely.

Oh, and you've outdone yourself! Seriously. Fabulous idea for the 'double pocket.' ;-)
Lovely!! Great idea to use the mat die- I'll have to give it a try!
What a totally cool and creative way to incorporate the card with the gift bag, into my fav's! I always make such bulky cards myself and this is a great way to for me to not have to "find" an envie to fit them! Love it!
