So VERY much fun to make. Thank you Wendy. This will be for a grocery store gift card for DGD in summerschool at the beach! Not sure I got it into the correct gallery for this challenge though--it is here: https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2880751?&cat=500&ppuser=261121

Wendy, love this idea. Your addition of the pocket makes all the difference in this card. Made one a while back, didn't think I'd make another...until you gave the design a REAL purpose! A great card for so many different gift-giving occasions, starting with Christmas.
