I really don't like giving my husband cards that I make. Not because I don't want to give him the card, but I kidda feel like it is a waste of an envelope. The card sometimes will sit in it for about 5 minutes before he opens it. Well, life must go on...
The other day I was trying to clean up a pile of papers (we all have those piles sitting somewhere in our house) and I came across the envelope I had used for my husbands Valentine Card. I had not sealed the envelope when I gave it to him so I thought that I could re-use it! Here is what I made:
I sealed the envelope then cut off one of the ends. I then cut a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of card stock to fit inside it.
I used the Boho Friend wheel on the actual envelope it's self, but I still had the problem of my husband's name on the front...so I made the belly band!
For the large Purely Pomegranate circle I actually used the round tab punch. If you make 2 tabs with the punch and then layer one on top of the other at a 90 degree angle you will get a circle. I cut out the flower and used a Build a brad to make the middle of the flower.
Recipe:
Medium Envelope; Close to Cocoa, Purely Pomegranate, Very Vanilla Card Stock; One of a Kind stamp set and Boho Friend wheel; Berry Bliss Designer Series Paper, Close to Cocoa, Purely Pomegranate, Pretty in Pink Classic ink; Build a Brad and Crafters Tool kit.
