Birthday Card for DIL

Can you believe that it's March 2020?  Gosh time flies when you are busy as heck!! Besides working at our shop and taking a course through our local health care network, I don't have time to craft as much as I would like to.  BUT, I had to make this card using the free Oval Swing Card from Simply Crafty SVG's.  Sandy has so many creative files.  I am by no means a professional crafter but Sandy's files sure make me look like one!

On to the project for March.  Last month I made a treat/gift box for my DIL's birthday.  This month I finally got the birthday card done.  This is the first time I have ever made a swing card.  I have a feeling that I will be making a lot more.  This was super easy to put together.  So please go give it a try!

Here are the pics...

This is the envelope.  Make with Recollections paper.  The printed is a
scrap that I had in my files.  (I'll show you the scrap files someday)

I added some of the Graphic45 Safari Adventure scrap paper to the inside
of the envelope.  Just to make it a little fancy.  

Here is the from of the card.  I have used G45 Journey of a Lifetime #4501364
and Serengeti Outfitters #4501358 from the Safari Adventure Collection. 
The glitter paper is from Dollar Tree.
The saying is from Creative Fabrika and the saying is FREE.
 Pls excuse the colors of the photo.

It's swinging!

When the card swings this is the inside.

This is the back where I put my contact label.

Here is the complete card and envelope.  I think my DIL will be pleased.
So this is my project for March.  What am I making for April?  Maybe something for Easter?  You will just have to check back in.  Bright Blessings,
