A PLACE TO START - ANYTHING GOES - ENVELOPE POCKET CARD

 Hello, Crafty Makers!

The February challenge theme at A Place to Start is

Anything Goes w/ Optional Theme:
Small Creatures!
-----
I opted to create a project for the Anything Goes portion of the challenge. 

My schedule was crazy around Christmas, and I had to reschedule my infusion appointment. Because of that, I was unable to give my infusion nurses their usual gifts. I thought it would be too weird to deliver Christmas presents in February, so I decided these little envelope pocket cards would be more appropriate.
I did not have the pink cardstock I wanted, so I used Ranger's Picked Raspberry and Vintage Photo Distress Inks to create the color combination I wanted! I used Lost Shadown Distress Ink to color my stencil.
 I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to color my white buttons.
I used waxed thread for the stitched edge.
I had these heart flower dies in my stash. They seemed perfect for this project.
I used my Vertical Lines Die to create the faux corrugated cardboard look on my hearts!

The envelope pocket card is a great way to present gift cards or cash. I decided to give some money this year. I also included a soap saver, a bar of rock soap, and a small journal and pen in the gift basket!


Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope to add the project sheet sometime this week. You can also find the tutorial on my YouTube channel, "Chana, Coffee & Crafts!"

JANUARY 2026 - A PLACE TO START - ANYTHING GOES w/Optional Twist: Rainbows (Lots of Colors)

Happy New Year, Crafty Makers!

Over at A Place to Start, we decided to start the New Year off with HOPE!

Optional Theme: Rainbows - Lots of Colors

Your project does not have to be a rainbow; we just want to see lots of colors!

I created this card for my granddaughter, who celebrated her 13th Birthday on December 27th.  My son flew down for the holidays, but the kids had other plans, so this card and her gifts are going back with her Dad.  After I completed the card and showed it to my son, he reminded me that her favorite color is lavender and her older sister's favorite color is pink.

I recreated the card in her favorite color, but switched to gold-foiled straws because they seem to work best with the lavender.
I also added a bit more color to the confetti background and brushed on some gold shimmer paint.

RAINBOW LOTS OF COLORS
This card best captures our theme of lots of colors!  The colorful straws and the confetti splatter are bright, cheery, and hopeful!
I used liquid watercolor inks to color the vellum flower.
