Before I get to today’s card……I will not have posts after today until July 9th. I am going on vacation. Some friends and I are flying to Seattle and driving down the coast to San Francisco. I cannot wait to see the beautiful scenery.
Okay, about the card. I do quite a few gift card holders. I LOVE to give gift cards and am excited to come up with new ways to gift them. But today I am going Old School! Yes, as the title said, it is a money envelope. Actually it should be money or check envelope.
Southern Serenade, 145921
I love this! I have not needed a cash or check card in a really long time. But since I will be needing to settle up with my friends for various costs, I thought I would make a cute one and share it with you.
I left this cutie quite plain. Since It is going to a couple, I did not want it to be too frilly. And here is the open picture.
The base is 7 X 7 1/4 and scored on the 7 1/4 side at 2 and 5 1/4 (this actually equals 2 from each side if that is easier). Fold and burnish the score lines. Choose which section is your money holder and using the 1 1/4 circle punch do a half punch in the center of that edge. On the opposite end, use the Detailed Trio Punch to round the corners.
The white strip is 1 X 7 and is also rounded corners on one edge. Stamp your sentiment so that it reads properly when the flap is opened. Then adhere to the flap leaving about a 1/4 – 1/2″ hanging over.
Place Tear & Tape on the edges of the section you did the half circle punch. Before you adhere it, place a piece of card stock in the pocket so that it is not too tight when you place your cash/check.
For the decoration I chose to do a bright daisy. I used a scrap of Mango Melody card stock and punched 2 times with the Daisy Punch. I stamped the Thank You on scrap white card stock and used the 1 1/4 circle punch to punch it out.
The belly band is 1 X 8 1/4 and is loosely wrapped around the envelope, so it will easily slide off. Adhere it in front by overlapping the strip. Then place the layered flower on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This will cover the overlap of the wrap.
Thank you for visiting today and I hope you will return on July 9th. I very much appreciate you checking out my projects.
It is still a great time to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I would love to have you join my team. A great perk for demonstrators this time of year is getting to see the new catalog first. Then we get to order and play with the new products a month early. For me, that is one of the best parts of being a SU Demonstrator. Of course, the discount helps! If you are interested, please contact me and let’s talk.
I am submitting today’s card for the Global Design Project #144 Challenge. It is a CASE the designer. I used her layout for my design . To CASE can mean using a little, a lot, or just the layout. I was a little in the middle of that on my card.
Coffee Cafe, 143677
And here is the challenge card I cased.
I was so thrilled when the Coffee Cafe set and matching framelits carried over to the new catalog. Then I realized I had not used them in quite some time. So here they are paired with the gorgeous Tropical Escape 6X6 Designer Series Paper.
All of the supplies I used are listed the bottom of the page. Thank you so much for visiting today! I very much appreciate it and love to hear from you.
COLOR COMBINATION: Of course these are in the Gorgeous DSP.

One of my favorite parts of card design is the fold. I love any fold that is a tad different. Today I have a different take on the Z Fold, which is my favorite. This one is the Double Z Fold.
Country Road, 147469
For a country type card, mine is a tad on the bright side. But I love the look of Crumb Cake, Real Red and the new Blueberry Bushel. I utilized most of the stamps in the Country Road stamp set. I discovered the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch matches the wheel perfectly! I love those kind of discoveries.
Here is a picture of the open card so you can see the Double Z.
I probably needed a better angle for the photograph, but I believe you can see the strip that is the second Z of the fold. And did you notice the Happy Birthday sign on the top right? The “Nail” is a brad. I LOVE brads, and Stampin’ Up! has brought them back!! Yippee and Happy Dance!!
Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope you like different folds as much as I do and will give this one a try. If you have any questions I would be thrilled to help you out. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

I am back to regular card making for today. The series of items from my Tea Tin gift was different for me. It was nice to venture out of the norm. But now I feel like I need a Hug. And that is what today’s card is all about. I have used the Hedgehugs Stamp Set to create a quick and easy little card.
Hedgehugs, 145879
This card is so bright and cheery that I think it would work for just about anyone, and for a lot of occasions. I adore that sentiment telling you that you are special.
There are quite a few of the new Stampin’ Up! Colors that I am particularly fond of. These two are at the top of the list. They are both very vibrant. Maybe not the typical woodsy colors, but who cares!
I have listed all of the supplies at the bottom of the post. Even though my card has a lot of pieces, it is really quite simple and quick.
Thank you for stopping by today! I very much appreciate it. I hope you have a great weekend and will come back on Monday to see another project.

I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s InKing Royalty Blog Hop. There were some awesome Sunshine related cards and it is definitely worth your time to hop through the list.
For today I have gone back to the gift I made for a friend. The Copper Tea Tin with the 3 X 3 cards inside. So today’s project is the gift tag I made to attach to the gift. I rarely wrap a gift, and the bags I have that are perfect size for the tin are covered in Red hearts. The tag then does not match the color scheme of the gift. But I think it is really cute. I hope you will as well.
Stitched All Around, 148374
I absolutely LOVE the intricate detail on this sentiment layer. It comes from the die and is just gorgeous. As an added bonus it has all of this detail but cuts cleanly and pops right out of the die with no hanging little pieces. WooHoo !!
You can probably tell I used both the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and the Banner Triple Punch to make the red tag part. The only additional items are the little bling of a rhinestone to dot the “i”, and the beautiful ribbon for the tie. All in all this is a super cute, quick and easy, gift addition.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I very much appreciate it and hope you will come back tomorrow for a new project. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
