OH.......this is so CUTE!
I used the Gumball Greetings Bundle!
 
Check out my adorable gumball machine fun fold card!

that is on page 171 as a hostess rewards choice.

Notice how I stamped the words over on the left side,
so that they wouldn't show thru when the front flap is down.
Look how I only adhered this bottom flap down with Tear & Tape on the outside edges.
Doing it this way created a pocket!
A little gift like a gift card, cash, small candy- will fit down in it.
