This card was inspired by Nichol Magouirk's newsletter card featured on Day 4 of the Holiday Card Boot Camp....
This card can hold a small newletter, but since I don't send those yearly holiday updates I opted to print our name and the year on regular copy paper. The paper was trimmed to fit into the pocket formed by the strip of red card stock that was originally meant to hold a newsletter. One thing I discovered - if you place a strip of adhesive down the center of the red strip it forms two pockets in which one gift card will fit perfectly into each pocket! Sort of a "His" and "Hers" gift card holder :)
The photos were inserted into a digital filmstrip, printed and adhered to the red strip. Once the photo strip was in place the bird and branch were added.
Before adhering the red strip to the base card, I stamped the sentiment and flourishes using white pigment ink.
