I used the adorable reindeer from last month's release, along with Mini Messages and the new Lucky Envelope die to create an extra special card + gift combo.
I colored and cut out (yep, by hand!) 2 of the reindeer, and set them up to flank the sentiment on either side. And nothing brings on more joy than a shopping spree (I'm kidding, but also it's a little bit true.)
I love the idea of having the gift card tucked away on the top of the card! It leaves the entire inside free for an extra long message. I'm thinking teacher gifts here!

Before you go, and on a personal Mama Elephant-related note: this will be my last stampede with the team. I am so excited to show you the projects I crafted with this amazing release, and then I will be leaving Mama Elephant. It's bittersweet, because I know there are great things ahead, but I have much love and respect for Kryssi and Angela, and the rest of the girls. Looks like I'll be buying all of my cute ME critters from now on, hee hee!
