Hey there from Nannyland,
When I first downloaded this beautiful Lori Whitlock pocket box card, I was confused at a seemingly unnecessary box protrusion. I was delighted when I realized it contained a perfectly-sized pouch to hold a gift card, cash or a note. Immediately, I went to work creating cards for appreciation gifts to my hairdresser and cleaners. I also made them for friends and family whose gifts have to go through the unreliable mail. I love the way they turned out! It makes a generic gift card a little more personal and festive.
As usual, I cut most of the pieces in white card stock on my Cricut Maker. It's much easier to color and shade the small pieces with copics. It was also much simpler to print the sentiment directly on my front panel with the writing feature in Design Space than to cut out the detailed sentiment in black card stock. I had the best time adding beads, bows and gems to embellish.
It's a lot more rewarding to present gift cards or money to my loved ones in a way that shows I care enough to make something special for them. As it turns out, this pocket pop-up box card has become a favorite and I can see many fun uses for it in the future.
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
