Cards & Gift...in ONE!

I've been so excited to share something with you. Since JANUARY!
I especially LOVE it because it's all my own - I was feeling inspired and love how it turned out! :)

I made it as a "Hostess Gift" for my SAB workshop back then, but planned on making another one for this week's workshop (scheduled for Feb 22). I didn't want to risk the upcoming Hostess seeing it before she should! lol

Well, the workshop was cancelled this week, so obviously the danger has passed, so now I can share it! :)

READY??!!  Ok.
  
I learned how to make a card holder on our Demonstrator Website - one of the many perks of being a Stampin' Up demonstrator!

Theirs wasn't decorated this way - this is my own design. Love it when the mojo is workin! :)

Would you like to see what's inside?
OK. :)

  
Four matching cards and four envelopes!

Want all the details??
OK. :)


Card Holder:
Cardstock: Early Espresso, Pool Party
DP: Everyday Enchantment (SAB - free!)
Accessories:  5/8" Old Olive satin ribbon, Adorning Accents Edgelits Die, Big Shot, Blossom Punch, Simply Scored, Everyday Enchantment Brad (SAB - free!)

Cards:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla
DP: Everyday Enchantment (SAB - free!)
Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Basic pearls

Well, what do YOU think?  I'd love to hear from you! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a GREAT day!

    1. So sweet as always...thank you Simone. To her credit, she really tried. It was due to lack of interest from attendees. Don't know if it was a bad night or what...if only they knew what they were missing, right? ;-) Wish you COULD!! :)
