Well, my hand surgery went well. Actually, much better than I thought it would so I decided to finish some cards. I started making these cards before my hand surgery and all I had left to do was make the holders for the gift cards. I saw this card on Pinterest and decided to make some for the family!
This card looks like a regular A2 card but when you open it the folds are revealed. They called it a Dutch Door fold.
It really came together pretty quick. I used the Spooky Night DSP and layered the square on a piece of Very Vanilla. On the back, I adhered another piece of DSP so you can see that when the card is opened. Then I attached it to the "door" of the base card. I also die cut some pumpkins from the DSP and popped them up with dimensionals using the Patterned Pumpkins Thinlets.
On the inside, I attached a piece of Very Vanilla CS on the lower right side and stamped on it using the Paper Pumpkin set I used on my last card. Last night I made the pockets for the gift cards using some more of the DSP. The BOO is embossed with some white embossing powder!
Some more exciting news is Joe and I became Great Grandparents!! Sarah had a beautiful baby BOY!! It is the first boy in the family! Jennifer is just beside herself that she is a big cousin!

I love the pumpkins sitting on a tree branch in the moonlit night! Super cute, plus a fun fold. I'm surprised you were able to finish them so soon after your surgery. I'm glad to hear it went well and you're recovering so nicely! Congratulations on your new family member! A boy in a family full of girls... he's adorable and will be doted on, I'm sure. Poor little Daisy has quite a lot of adjusting to do. She may get used to it, but she doesn't have to like it!
OMG both cards are just the cutest!! WOW congrats on becoming Great Grandparents. We now have 2 GREATS ... Charlie just turned 2 and Landen is 5 months. Oh My ... where has the time gone! ENJOY!

I'm so glad to hear that your hand surgery is behind you and that you are recovering so well! The cards look great, but I'll have to take your word for it that they came together quickly since the steps sounds complicated to me, non-card artist that I am! Your family's new little boy is adorable; congratulations!
Oops, I just now saw your card at our Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge. Thanks for sharing it with us there!
