Shaped card using Spellbinders grand scallops - card size is about 4.5 inches square.
Birdie's nest is from Prima and leaves are 7gypsies velvet; sentiment is from A Muse. Patterned papers are Avalon (Bazzill). Card hinge is hidden, explained here.
Card interior features an A Muse sentiment and a Memory Box bird.
Envelope for this card - required a one-inch depth to accommodate the nest. Used Memory Box Water cardstock for the custom envelope, and crafted a 'tray' from Bazzill Avalon.
The tray helps to support the entire envelope, so pressure applied to the envelope will be evenly distributed, and not crush inward around the nest. Hope your Tuesday is going great!
OMG, this is SO CUTE!!!!!! I love the little nest and the shaped card.

Yeah, bring on the Avalon. Love the nest, so sweet. I can't believe the box you made, did you use a corner rounder on the box or did you make a pattern and just cut it out? Whatever you did, it is amazing as always.
