Hi y'all!
I'm here today with a card whose shape was inspired by a "front pocket wallet" that I gave my husband for Christmas years ago...less likely to be pick-pocketed and perfectly shaped to fit into the front pocket of his jeans.
Here you can tell that this gift has been well loved and daily carried for a long time!
No fancy how-to's for this project either...just a pot lid aligned along the top and side edges of a piece of card stock, traced with a pencil and cut with scissors. For more control I chose to cut the front and back separately. Distressing the edges helps to hide any imperfections in your cutting, so you don't even have to be too particular about being precise.
I love the way this stamp set and the leaf dies go so well together! I tucked a few sprigs (die cut from white card stock and colored with Copics, as were the pearls) behind a fish tail banner sentiment panel. The twine wraps around the card front and through a tiny hole in the fold to tie into a small bow. (I don't usually put bows on masculine cards but I felt like this tiny twine one would work out just fine!)
The inside reflects the same fonts and patterned paper as the card front. Relatively clean and simple and super easy.
