Birthday Gift Bag

I think this would totally make a great birthday gift. Or any other kind of gift, for that matter! Who doesn't love to receive a hand-made gift? This gift bag I found at Michaels, but I'm sure you could find them anywhere. Cover it with designer paper, and then fill the inside with cards! I literally finished it in under a half an hour last night after I got back from cleaning the new house. Wouldn't be a bad idea to have a few of these on hand....


And here are the cards that go inside:


Lots of the stuff I used is retiring. The stamp set is currently the Curly Punch bundle, and although the punch is sticking around, the stamp set will no longer be available. Also the Cordorouy buttons, Good morning Sunshine Paper and Pacific Point paper.


Recipe:
Stamp Set: Curly Label
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Basic Black
Paper: Pacific Point, Summer Sun, Chocolate chip, Whisper White, Good Morning Sunshine DSP
Accessories: Curly Label Punch, Dimensionals, Kiwi Kiss Ribbon,
Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Cordorouy Buttons

Handy notes

So the current In-Colors are retiring, and I will miss them! They are so bright and vibrant. These little note cards showcase all of the in-colors in addition to a stamp set that is retiring that I love (Sweet Celebrations).

Here is a close up of one of the cards. Perfect for a little note for someone, a thank-you, or whatever you choose.

Here I put all 6 of the note cards into the Medium Cello Bag and tied with ribbon. Wouldn't this make a great little gift for someone? Or perhaps a door prize down the road.........Love it!

Thanks for stopping by! More retiring items to come....
