Between reconstructing my craft room, my monthly stamp camps, and LIFE, I haven't had a whole lot of time to update here. Well, things have calmed down a bit (for now, atleast) so I have some goodies to share with all of you!
This is a cute little pocket card that I did for a Holiday Swap hosted by Corie. I got the pattern for the card from Splitcoast -I think its the Criss-Cross Card? Anyway, I used Cerise patterned paper for each of the sides and the belly band. The seam of the band is covered up by the scalloped circle punch. (The Very Vanilla cardstock doesn't wrap around the card because I didn't have any 12" x 12")
The insert is Very Vanilla matted on to Real Red. You can't see it in this picture, but I stamped the swirly image from the Priceless set in the bottom right corner of the insert using my Old Olive Classic Stampin' Pad. I used the double slot punch/ribbon punch to punch two holes in the top of the matted insert and I threaded Old Olive 5/8" ribbon through for a faux knot.
All in all, I think this turned out SUPER cute. Not sure that I would use it for my Christmas cards - you'd probably need extra postage for this heavy baby!!!
