Handmade cards are extra special when they contain a gift cardI had some fun with the butterfly from this cute set of BaZooples novelty buttons. I paired it with a BaZooples image from Inky Antics that I colored with pencils and gamsol.

The card is a little larger than usual and has a mini card on top. Notice the “LIFT HERE” pennant? When you lift that, you have a space for a gift card! I didn’t have a gift card,yet. So I placed a post it note just so you can see where that gift card would go. Inside the main card, there’s a panel of patterned paper, and plenty of room for a nice note. The sentiment reads “Just wanted to let you know… Love you tons!” Isn’t that the perfect sentiment for a Hippo card?

The gift card portion of the card was created using circle and scalloped circle dies from Spellbinders Paper Arts. The paper is from Authentique, and is accented with bling from Want2Scrap and some flowers from Creative Impressions. I used some additional buttons from my Buttons Galore jar for the flower centers.

I finished off the handmade card with a quick bow using some ribbon from my local craft supply. Sheer ribbon is so pretty and easy to tie.
