Yep it’s time for a new challenge at Create with Connie & Mary. This week we have a sketch challenge for you. The great thing about a sketch is you could apply it to more than just cards – it could be a scrapbook page, or the front of a box or journal. When I see a sketch I always think about the different things I could do with it. This week I was actually working on some Thank you notes to send out to customers and friends for helping me with my June goal to get 50 orders of $50 and earn the Stampin’ Up! Getaway trip. Well we did it and I owe not only thank yous, but gift certificates to a class and invitations to a celebration party. I wanted to include all of this in one package. I have the gift certificates made (I used My Digital Studio for that) and the party invitations but wanted a cute little thank you to include as well. So I thought I could use the sketch for my design for the thank you. Here is the card I ended up with –
So this is actually a 4×4 card. But what I’m going to do is seal the bottom and left and it will become a pouch with a side opening. I have long envelopes for these to go in. Then in the side I will insert the class gift certificate and the party invitation. Here is what it looks like as a pouch with the other things inside –
All the supplies are listed below – come play along with us this week and lets see what you can do with this sketch – surprise me. I can’t wait to see what you create.

Wow! So clever to use this as a pouch to hold the other items! Love the layered butterfly! And I love how you included the three different side elements in a different way! So creative!
Thanks Deb!
SUPER CUTE card! I love how you added the embossing along the bottom & created a pouch along the side! Just fabulous!
Thank you Melissa!
I love how you layered the butterfly and accented it with the sweet little flower. I like how you turned this into a little pouch. That’s a great idea I’m going to save for later!
Love the triple-layered butterfly. Great color choices!
Very cute way to create a pouch and use it for a party invite and gift card holder! Clever!
What a pretty card! Love the butterfly! Great working with you on Create!
