pti january blog hop - pretty in pink

It's been a while since I last joined in the blog hop so I'm glad to be getting back to it again.

I made this card for my DD's classmate who invited her to her birthday party last weekend. I made an oversized one (5.5 x 8.5 in) as this will be our main gift.  The celebrant requested for something monetary so they can donate to her charity. I used Papertrey's Birthday Style stamp and dies, Wonderful Words: Birthday stamp and die, various patterned papers and cardstock (stamper's select white, sweet blush, hibiscus burst).

The inside of the card looks like this...  I put a small chevron notion envelope where I tucked her gift and a blank spot for my DD to write her birthday message. I packaged the card using an envelope I made using my new We R Memory Keepers envelope punch.

This tool is such a timesaver for making non traditional-sized envelopes.  I am hooked!  Here is the front and back of my envelope...
