Hello everyone and welcome to the new gathering at Addicted to Stamps and More.
This time we are looking for diecuts and/or stencils on your design.
One of my sons requested cash for his Christmas present because he was saving for a computer. I don't know why, but I don't really like giving cash for presents and I wanted to pretty it up when I gave it to him, so I made a gift envelope to put it in.
I began by stencilling some blue snowflakes onto white card using the Snowfall stencil from Honey Bee.
To make the envelope, I used The Greetery Stationery Box Die. I trimmed the sides of the box into an envelope shape and cut out a half-circle with one of the dies.
To enable the envelope to open without having to tear it, I made a large sentiment from the Spellbinders Stylish Merry Christmas die and tucked the flap behind it.
I'm sorry that the photos aren't good - it was a really dark day and I had to use flash which changed the colours. The snowflakes are brighter and the sentiment is a Christmas red irl!
I'd like to play along at

Such a nice way to present a gift card or money Carol, will confess to using just envelopes for a couple recently, shame on me I know. Identify with the photo issues, some days it's hardly got light recently, roll on Spring.
