CSS Alumni Sketch Challenge

Hello my friends! It is time for another fun CSS Alumni Blog Hop. This time is a Sketch Challenge. If you have come here from Cheri's blog, you are in the right place, if not come back to Stamp TV to start the hop.
I have to confess as soon as I saw the sketch I knew what I wanted to do, an "Envelope Card" hmm. what is that? It is a card and a envelope together, LOL. It is super easy to make.

Directions:
Inside of card:

• Mat together 2 pieces of card stock and add stitches all around
• Stamp image twice, color them. Cut out one and die cut the other one, adding some ink inside the borders.
• Adhere the other image with Foam tape.
• Add a scallop only in the top part.
• Stamp sentiment.
• Add image to card.

Envelope.

• Cut a piece of card stock: 8.5" x 4.5"
• Scor in half and fold. 
• Using Circle Nestabilities, die cut a half circle. Emboss only front part.
• Add a strip of card stock to the front and add stitches.
• Add ribbon using Scor-tape and buttons.

Tips:

•  If you want a flat folded ribbon add tiny drops of Fabric glue, press it and let it dry.
• In order to have the perfect circle die-cut, put the inside piece through, make a little mark where you think the cut will match with the inside. (hope this makes sense)

Here is my "Baby Congratulations Card":
