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.

Oh, and you've outdone yourself! Seriously. Fabulous idea for the 'double pocket.' ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely!! Great idea to use the mat die- I'll have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
