Tilda Criss Cross card

Hello!  Thanks for stopping in to visit!  Today I want to show you the criss cross card I made for my friend Gayle on the cricut mb.  It is for the monthly Magnolia swap that Jess is hosting.  Our project this month was the criss cross card and a gift pouch inside.  I have never made a criss cross card, but was suprised at how easy they are!   Of course we have to use at least one Magnolia Tilda image on the card.  Since we send a new Tilda stamp to our partner, I decided to make my pouch to hold the stamp. My blue papers are from  DCWV  "the Stack4" and the sand paper I picked up at JoAnns  think.  The tiny shells I got at JoAnn's too.  They are Blue Moon Beads. The white ric-rac was in my stash.  I have colored the Tilda image with my copics  XPress-it cardstock.  I used my cricut to cut out the sun from yellow cardstock in my stash for the gift pouch.   My card doesn't open, not sure if they are spose to.  Mine is being used like a big envelope for the gift pouch.  Gayle wanted a beachy theme and this is what I came up with for her. 

Here is the gift pouch out of the card...

Come back soon, and HAPPY CRAFTIN!
