It opens like a little purse with a concertina double pocket inside.
It is basically a small folded card with a belly band covered in embellished flowers.
I really enjoyed making it. Even though I did end up finishing the belly band and inserts this morning in day light.
What do you think?
Each centre of the flowers has a rhinestone on it and the colours are:
Kiwi kiss, not quite Navy and Baja Breeze with whisper white.
When you open it you see the tabs for two cards that fit neatly into the envelope "pockets".
One is for your message (mine just says "for you" at this stage) and the second tab is to place a gift card or voucher into. They would be just the right size for a movie ticket, gift card, folded notes, or a gift voucher from Stamping Joy!!!
That's my business card slipped in between the flower and the slit punch holes...
Iit could be anything you like - I am thinking Christmas gift vouchers for my nieces and nephews.
The photo above shows you a side view of the cut envelope, that creates your two pockets... Alicia recommends you use a good quality envelope instead of a business style one with the blue lining and I tend to agree ... but if that's all you have then they work just fine.
Card recipe:
Stampset: Fifth Avenue Floral.
Cardstock: kiwi kiss, whisper white.
Designer series patterned paper: Stampin up - Urban garden.
Tools: Scallop edge punch, scallop circle punch, boho blossom punch, round tab punch, slit punch ($11.50).
Rhinestone brads.
Enjoy!!!
And, clear embossed stamping on the metal lid. It was fiddly to stamp the flowers in the white stazon on the glass, as I have said if the surface is round you have to roll the stamp around the shape of the jar. The heat embossing on the lid was "easy-peasy"...
I have Simply:
The metal gets quite hot so place it on a bread board, and leave it there till it cools down. If it has a plastic inner lid (which this one did), do the embossing gently so that the heat doesnt go through. Preferably in quick short bursts of heat on the powder, just dont keep the heat gun in one place too long, the heat will transfer through to the plastic inside very quickly.

Step 2. Add a drop of rose red ink onto a plastic lid and use your aquapainter or water colour brush to colour the flowers. I did some in rose red and a few I touched the centres with tangerine tango ink for some variation in colour.
Step 3. The paper is quite wet and the water runs everywhere so you can tip the paper to one side or blot it with paper towell, or do both, then set it aside to dry. You could speed it up with the heat gun I suppose.
Step 4. Next we cut out the individual flower images with sharp scissors. Remember, for a clean neat cut, turn the paper not the scissors.
Step 5. Cut half an A4 page of cardstock on the diagonal - I measured 80mm on one short edge of the A4 and 155cm on the other and drew a line between them. Cutting it will give you two cards from the same piece of cardstock. Score and Fold one of the pieces into 3rds - 9.8 and 19.6cm to make up your zig zag card.
Step 6. Adhere your flowers to the card. I've used seven flowers. Some are up on dimensionals.
Step 7. Stamp some stems for the flowers and the sentiment from fifth avenue floral onto whisper white cardstock and then layer it onto a wide oval punched piece of rose red cardstock.
Here it is showing the zig zag fold of the card.
And open to see where you can write your message ... the only other thing I might add is a ribbon to hold it closed if you have used dimensionals.
The instructions say it is designed for use on plastic, metal, glass ceramic, and glossy cardstock. Appropriate for all surfaces. But use on porous surfaces such as leather, wood and fabric may not result in fully opaque impressions.
It seems to work OK on cardstock, perhaps not as opaque as white craft ink ...
And it is especially effective on gloss white cardstock ... when sponged with Rose Red Classic ink.
It works beautifully for watercolouring - stazon resist with reinker watercolouring -
Verdict: A versatile and fun new product ... you will see it on many of my new projects I think. 

The Rose is adhered to the bag with double sided tape. 


The ribbon is in pink pirouette wide grosgrain. I punched out the little notch for the bow to sit in with the 1 1/4" circle punch. And threaded it under the brayered piece of cardstock anchoring it down with the silver filigree brad. In the centre of the brad is a clear rhinestone.

It is fairly simple with the heading stamped on vellum, attached with silver brads. Two paper flowers attached with build a brad centres. I have used circles cut from the bella bleu paper. The flowers are punched with sahara sand cardstock, stamped with the en francais background stamp in not quite navy and then the petals cut, ans scored with the bone scorer from behind. The second flower I actually put through the crimper ... either works, I think.
The cardstock is Not Quite navy textured paper, Sahara sand, Bella Bleu Designer series paper.
