So many possibilities....

I chose to make a new fold that I saw on Splitcoast Stampers.

It can be use to hold a gift card, money, tickets etc.

Ladybugs

I hope that you have been enjoying our challenges at My Grafico Crafts.  Remember that you do not have to have a machine that cuts SVG files, you can cut them with scissors or merge them in "Word." You don't even have to use their images, however we wish you would:) Just follow our theme:

Aren't they adorable?

This is a close-up of the stitching on the flower.

I had fun choosing the coordinating DP! The inside is blank on this card. That way it can be used for any occasion.
