I also made this Flap card which would be excellent for gift giving - you could cut little notches and put in a gift card - or simnply add a sentiment and give it as a card. Was fun to try.

And here's the card opened up - I haven't decorated it yet, but not sure yet what I'll do with it :) For some reason the inside of the card didn't scan in the right color - it's supposed to be bashful blue!! But you "get the picture"!!
