Happy Birthday Bag

I like to give gift cards as gifts quite often and try to have fun ways to wrap or enclose them on hand.  This little glassine gift bag would be a great way to share a gift card with someone by just adding it to a piece of card stock and sliding it inside the bag. 

I added some This Christmas specialty designer series paper to the bag and then on top added a layered flower made by stamping the flower twice and then cutting out the full flower once and the inside of the second flower and layering them with Stampin' dimensionals. 

Next came some gold and red sequin trim, the sentiment and a bow made from kraft rope trim that was taken apart.

Supplies:

Sunshine Sayings, Crazy about you

Dapper Denim ink

Very Vanilla, Soft Suede card stock

This Christmas specialty designer series paper

gold and red sequin trim

kraft rope trim

glassine gift bag

Thank You

This month, Stampin' Up! is offering a while supplies last bundle (you can purchase the items separately too) called Thankful Branches.  My favorite thing about the stamp set is the font and there is a good variety of sayings as well.

I chose to use some of the tree images along with the "Thank you" and layered them on top of some Presents and Pinecones designer series paper, Kraft rope trim that I pulled apart and some thick bakers twine that I also pulled apart.

The designer series paper and Kraft rope trim are from the Holiday catalog that will be available to purchase from on September 1st.

Supplies:

Thoughtful Branches

Early Espresso, Garden Green ink

Whisper White, Early Espresso, Mint Macaron card stock

delicate doilies

Presents and Pinecones dsp

Kraft rope trim

thick baker's twine
