Waltzingmouse Stamps February Release, Day 2

Hello there!

Today is Day 2 of the countdown for the February Release at Waltzingmouse Stamps.

Yesterday, we shared the Gift Card It stamp set and coordinating Gift Card It Dies. Today we are adding in the Gift Card It Envelope Die! This die cuts a little envelope that fits a standard gift card perfectly. And of course it works so well with the Gift Card It Dies we shared yesterday.


For today's card, I incorporated the Gift Card It Envelope Die directly onto my card front. It creates a snug little place to present your gift card and makes it front and center. Again, like the card I shared yesterday, I like the idea of making the gift card part of the presentation instead of something you just stick in your card. It is, after all, the gift!


Today I used some of the larger stamp images from the Gift Card It stamp set. Isn't that font the most scrumptious ever? I also pulled in some of the leaf branch motif and the flower clusters, all heat embossed in gold. The flower trio is adhered just so on the front of the envelope with some dimensional foam tape to help to keep the top flap closed.

This is still a traditional card in the sense that it opens and has a place for a longer message. You could also easily use just a single sheet of cardstock and write your message on the back.

I'll be back with more tomorrow, but until then be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team links for today. We will be sharing previews through Friday when the sets will be available for purchase. Enjoy!

Anya Schrier - you are here!

So glad you stopped by! Have a wonderful day!
