It just so happened that I just made a card this morning that fits perfectly with the LIM challenge for this week! I needed a card for a new baby, so I made this cute little gift card holder card.
The only part that opens on this card is the light blue striped piece on the very front of the card base (and is the actual card). The flap that says "welcome Ezra" is held down by the elephant's trunk. When you slide the sentiment tab out from under the elephant's trunk, the card will open to display a gift card and a message. The elephant is from W Plus 9 Unforgettable set, the "welcome" part of the sentiment is from PTI, and the name was stamped with Concord and 9th's Perfectly Penned set. The sentiments was stamped in versamark and heat embossed with white. I colored the elephant and balloon with Copics and cut them out to pop on the front of the card. I would say this was a quick and easy card...and it probably would have been if I hadn't totally messed up the elephant's eyes on the first one I cut out...so that meant that I had to re-stamp, re-color, and cut another one out! Other than that little mess up, it was quick! LOL!
As always, thanks so much for stopping in. I appreciate your visit...and I appreciate each and every comment!
