Hello friends! Spellbinders’ Not Your Ordinary Card Collection is fabulous! It is perfect to create a holder for a gift card or a surprise message. This pocket envelope can be placed on the inside of a card or, as I have done, centre stage on the front. This set of cards features the Essential Envelope Die Set that comes with the pocket envelope die. This die was also used to create holiday cards with the Halloween Add-Ons and Christmas Add-Ons Stamps & Die Sets. So much fun!
The front panels, cream, black and gold metallic, measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2“ and have been adhered to A2 sized card bases. The corners were rounded on the cream coloured cart using the 1-2 Punch Corner Rounder & Notch.
The note card inserts for the pocket envelopes were die cut using either the Mirror Arch Labels or the Notched Corner Frames Die Sets from black card stock.
The Essential Envelope Die Set not only comes with the pocket envelope die, but also florals, a butterfly and the sentiment.
The pocket envelope die was used to cut both cream coloured card stock and also a piece of double sided adhesive. The adhesive was placed on the cream coloured dye, cut and covered with soft pink glitter tulle. The tulle was cut a little bit larger than the envelope and wrapped around the edges. The envelope was rubbed with fine clear glitter to cover up the adhesive behind the netting. The score lines were creased and the envelope was adhered by the tabs onto the card front. It was difficult to capture the pretty netting on the envelope in a photograph but in real life, it adds a sweet and whimsical touch.
The envelope was decorated with the elements and three little flowers, added to the note card. The two large flowers out of pink card stock were layered with vellum die cuts and the sentiment and butterfly were stacked on foam die cuts.
The card was embellished with cream half pearls.
Like the previous card, the pocket envelope die was used to cut both card stock and also a piece of double sided adhesive. After the tulle was adhered on top, fine green and black glitter were rubbed in diagonal sweeps across the envelope catching the little bits of adhesive behind the netting.
To help the black note card stand out from the black card base, the top was blended with white pigment ink.
The envelope and note card were decorated with elements from the Halloween Add-Ons Stamps & Die Set. The cat and spider were mounted onto black foam die cuts.
This set comes with a set of stamps. I chose the sentiment “boo “to stamp on yellow card stock. It was cut with the coordinating die and adhered to the note card.
The pocket envelope for this card was cut from some pretty patterned paper found in the Christmas Velvet 6X9 Paper Pad.
The elements from the Christmas Add-Ons Stamps & Die Set were cut from traditional Christmas colors; green, red, gold, glitter, and vellum.
The stamps included in the set were used to create several sentiments to decorate the card. They were cut with the coordinating dies. The stamp set also included a detail for the holly leaves.
The card was embellished with gold confetti finished off with Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew.
