Gift Bag Inspired

 


DSCN6369



DSCN6366 My daughter had a birthday party to go to this weekend and I forgot to pick up a card for her.  YES, I did say buy a card.  I have so little time to stamp now that I'm not going to spend it making a card for a six-year old that we don't hardly even know, just so that she can throw it away.  BUT, I ended up making her one anyway so I tried to keep it simple.  I based it on the bag you see to the right.  In real life, that wavy line is Kiwi Kiss on the bag - it runs along the pink top of the bag.  The "yellow" on the bag is more of a lime too - I couldn't get the colors to look right even after editing.  So, my card really does coordinate perfectly with the bag in real life ;)  Hope you like it!!!  We'll see you back here in a few days!!

    Beautiful Marie! Even if the six year old didn't appreciate it, us papercrafters certainly do! Great job coordinating it with the gift bag! :-)

    This is cute Marie! I try to do the same too. My kids attended a bday party this weekend as well but didn't make the card & bag coordinated. No time! LOL.

    Marie ... this is so cute and matches the bag perfectly! If the 6-year old didn't appreciate the card I know your daughter was excited that mom made a card for her friend (your kids are cute and thoughtful)!

    First of all, wonderful card and bag! Second, thank you for the info regarding magnetix. I had them up, they're my 8 year olds and I don't know how my 4 year old got into them...although you might think 4 is a bit old for sticking things up your nose. Hah! Thanks again.

    Great interpretation of the bag. What fun colors too! I bet the mom really liked the card even if the 6 year old didn't know that really was the gift not what was in the bag!!!! ;)
