Then you open it up:

I created a little pop up for a gift card.  I made it and cut it out on my Silhouette.

Here is a close up of the inside of the card:

You and I were on the same wavelength, LeeAnn. I made a gift card holder for my project too. Your card is making me wish I had a Silhouette to cut out cool things like your gift card holder!

I really don't comment enough on your blog, but I wanted to say that I love looking at your cards! Scrapbooking/paper crafting is one of those things I always wanted to do and just never did.
