Creative Creases #110: Gift Card Pocket Fold
Welcome to Creative Creases Challenge #110. Where fun-folds are always on the menu. Fold may be fancy or simple and will always be fun. The Design Team at Creative Creases Challenge are here to inspire you to create and share. The link to share your creations is toward the bottom of this post.

Today’s beautiful fun-fold has a hidden pocket for tucking in a little cash or gift card. The best part, it came together very quickly. A few cuts, a couple scores some beautiful paper and die-cuts and you’re done.

This time of year there are so many traditions, religious and secular, it’s hard to know which paper and sentiments to use. The Lights of Aurora Product Suite can handle a wide variety of holidays and events. The focal image, created with Traditional Labels Bundle, shares the spotlight with a silhouette of trees from Aurora Lights.
