A Second Gift Card set

** another looooooong post, lots of pics again! :)*
Here's a second gift card set that I've made for my children's school teachers. This time, I chose to use my new Ketto images (from Stamping Bella), and you can see each of the ones I bought, because I haven't had a chance to use any of them twice! Again, I chose a different package of retired Designer Series Paper that has be languishing in my retired stash: Hawaii Papaya. I LOVE these colours together, so bright yet not bold.

I used a different sketch challenge for each of the cards as well as the cover of the box! The sketch for the cover is from Taylored Expressions, an older sketch that I wanted to still play with but didn't have time that week!

Stamps: Maisy Ketto (Stamping Bella)
Paper: Kiwi Kiss Textured Card Stock, Whisper White, Real Red, Hawaii Papaya DSP (retired)
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
Accessories: Copic Markers, Crystal Effects™, Gelly Roll Glitter Pen, Prima Flowers, Filigree Decorative Brads, Real Red Grosgrain, Eyelet Border Punch, Dimensionals®

This picture on the left shows you what the box looks like inside. I made two pockets, one thicker than the other, to hold both the envelopes and three cards. The pocket holding the envelopes is about a 1/4" thick whereas the pocket holding the three fairly thick cards is 3/4" thick! I decorated the inside panels behind the pockets with a little bit of designer series paper and whisper white card stock.

The rest of the box is pretty simple, just a flap with two scores in the centre to create a "spine", and then a buckle type closure that has a Velcro circle to attach it to the front to keep the box closed.

Here are the cards in closer detail. Each of the Ketto images are coated in crystal effects and the wings have a bit of glitter on them!
