Because the patterned paper is double-sided--it was perfect for the base of this card. The outside is pink polka dot, and the inside is the pink grid.
I wanted to create a card that folded in on itself and could easily be sent in the mail **ok--now that I look at the finished project, I might have to put this in an envelope to protect the ribbon and embellishment! LOL!...so I created a template for a 4" x 4" square envelope card. I used my pink polka dot and grid papers from Momenta's Let's Party pyramid paper pad for the basic design. I also used the ice cream patterned paper for the center panel. After creating this card design, I thought it would be fun to make the center panel a place to hold a gift card--all I did was punch a notch out of the top, add a bit of tape on three edges, and attached it to the center. EASY! I stamped some fun ice cream images {Sweet Scoop from the Sweet Stamp Shop} and I used some foam dots to add it to my card. I also created a smaller one scoop cone for the closure with a bow {ribbon available from The Ribbon Carousel}.
The envelope card opened up completely.

The best part of this card was creating the Momenta Design Your Own alphabet stickers! I love this video tutorial on how to create your own stickers. I used a color palette that was already created--but you can make your own design, customize your own color, and more! This was SUPER easy and so fun! **I actually had the HARDEST time picking with color combo I wanted to use! I cannot wait to make more customized stickers!
