Here's the inside of the gift card.
To cut the flap part, I placed my rubber matting over the portion I didn't want cut. I cut using the narrow orientation. I stamped the beautiful co-
ordinating design sideways. Otherwise, I'd cut out what I stamped and I want to see that design I added the flourish from the same set, creating a frame for the HB sentiment. Two teeny pearls added just because.
There are 2 stamps I used but I have no idea what set they are from. The '&' as well as the '!' are two I use often and keep them in a teeny baggy with a few other "I'm-afraid-to-lose-em" stamps.
I've made several of these gift cards and they always seem to be well received. I can cut a larger hole on the inside flap if I'd prefer to place the gift card vertically. It depends where the writing is on the card.
Once again, I cut my sentiment stamp with the word 'go'. I find it works perfectly if I cut at an angle thereby making the realigning so much easier.
Thanks for looking!

Wonderful - love the detail of the way you cut for the gift card. Also love the tip about cutting long sentiments at an angle so you can realign them later!
