Elephant Parade mini card and pocket envelope envelope

 It's Sale a-bration time!  July 1-August 31, 2022, is the second half of this year's free earning period.  For every $50 increment you spend, you can choose a free item from the Sale a-bration brochure.  The increments are accumulative, so the more you spend, the more you earn!  Be sure to check out the details by clicking on the shopping cart to the right.  The items in the brochure are usually exclusive to this promotion.  

The card I'm showing you today, is a card I was inspired to make based on a card I saw Wendy Cranford make.  I made a card from her sketch and after completing it, I decided to take that card even further and make an A2 standard card with the mini card on the front and add a pocket envelope inside of that for a gift card or money.  I hope you like how I've put this together.  It would make a great card for any and all occasions in which you might want to add a little gift.  You can watch how I put this card together, and see my original card in my FB Live replay over on my YouTube channel here:

What a happy day Elephant Parade sketch challenge card

 Today's project is a card I created from a sketch challenge given by Wendy Cranford during her 2022 Annual Catalog Paper Party.  I loved this challenge, and love how my card turned out.  I hope it inspires you to make a card using the sketch or exactly like it is.  You will find a video on how I put my card together here on my YouTube channel.  Thanks for stopping by today.
