Since the challenge is Anything but a Card. I created a little tag with a pocket to hold a gift card. 

 My tag is about 4 1/2" tall. I used my brand new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the tag. I used the card function so it cuts the tag with the little flap to glue over to make the pocket. 

I stamped the fall leaves image with black Versafine ink on white cardstock and embossed that with clear embossing powder.  Next I colored it with Copic markers.  I cut this out in a circle shape with my Kreaxions circle cutter and then cut a smaller circle inside of the bigger one, making sure not to cut through the image. I loved that this formed a ring around my image. 

Of course, I added some Flower Soft to give just that right amount of pizzazz to the image.  I mixed the colors on the acorn top and on the leaves. 

From my blog, be sure to hop on over to Vicki's blog for more inspiration.
