Eenie, Meenie, Mani, Pedi!

Hello friends,
Today I have a gift card holder to share with ya. I made this for my good friend's birthday. She's a spa girl so this MFT set was perfect for her.
Here's the cover:
I paper pieced the chair & trim of her robe. The robe is covered in white fun flock, so it's fuzzy :) The ribbon holds it closed.

The inside:
 The top panel holds another image (which is also fun flocked & paper pieced) The bottom panel is where I'll write my message. The pocket holds the gift card for the spa.

These cute gift card holders were one of the first things I learned to make & they're super easy. It just takes 1 envelope & some ribbon. Yes, I'll post a tut... pinky promise! I still have Bronchitis & I'm still coughing up a lung :( so I didn't think you'd want to hear that on my tutorial, right? As soon as I'm all better, I promise I'll make & post all the tuts I owe ya!

The Video Tut can be found ---> HERE!

I've got report cards to do :( no fun. It takes me 4-5 hours to do since I have 62 individual grades to input per student. Yes, 62 individual grades for 20 students! Yes, my school district is insane-o :{
Gotta Go!

    Great card. Wish I could touch the flocking (I'm a touchy person, I like to feel textures. I know, weird right?) That reminds me I can't wait to get a pedi, of course it's pointless right now, thick socks and boots :(
    Hugs,
    Kristina
