Birthday Set

I made this set for my nephew's birthday. His bookmark I used Plantin for the letters and the faux stitched them. I then laminated it and added a ribbon.

This is a candy bar wrapper which he was most excited by. I used Riley and colored him with copics. I added some Glossy Accents dots. If you have not made one of these yet they are super easy. I just wrap paper around a candy bar and use Tacky Tape to secure the top, bottom, and side. I use my paper crimper for the top and bottom.

 

I am so bummed I can not find the picture I took of the inside card. I know I took a picture but it is no where to be found which is a bummer because this has a gift card folder on the inside. I cut the cake from Smiley Card and spray glittered it. The rest is pretty simple to see. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Kich's birthday blog hop

Happy Birthday Kich!
Welcome to Kich's birthday blog hop. If you came here from Esther than you are in the right place. If you stumbled across this post you should go back and check out everyone's posts. This is a surprise hop for Kich and I hop she enjoys the surprise.

I made a card to share today. First I had to use one of Kich's cute digi stamps, she is the artist behind Kich N Bleus Designs, so I picked this cute cupcake girl. Kich has a very cute birthday set of digis that I do not yet possess that would be great for birthday cards too, so you will have to check those out in her store as well and this cute one from the Designers Choice set.

 The front is pretty easy to figure out. I layers some cute papers, added a few flower brads, added a double layer of a skinny ribbon, printed the sentiment out and added a digi stamp colored with my Copics.

 The inside I did a pocket. You could added gift cards, money, a tag, whatever you like. I would print out a message and add it to the left side as well. I explained how to make the pocket here however I made a mistake cutting the paper while making the pocket on this one and did not want to waste the paper so I added the extra cross over on top. I like how it came out as well as the original. This week my mistakes have made my cards turn out even better :)

I hope you all enjoyed my card and hope you head over to Kich N Bleus to wish Kich a happy birthday. I know I would love a surprise hop on my birthday.

Oh and I almost forgot the blog candy! One winner will win "Kich Celebrates" collection. This is a very cute stamp set. Here are two of my favorite images from the collection.

Gift Card Holders

I made several different gift card holders. I wanted to make them a little more personal.

This one I made like a candy bar wrapper. I used a digi stamp that I had found online for free. I would love to tell you where but I save them to my computer and that is that.

I posted this one in another post on here. I did this one very much like the previous one. Just like a candy bar wrapper.

These two I made little envelopes around the gift card and decorated them.

This one I did a candy bar wrapper fold again and attached it to the present.

Gift Wrapping

I got a little creative wrapping some gift cards and odd shaped things this year.



This is holding a gift card. I attached it to a bottle of wine and made a matching card to go with it.




This is the matching card I put in the red envelope on top.




I decorated a couple boxes with decorative paper and put a ribbon around the edge of the lid.

I put a gift card inside these little snowman and attached them to the boxes I made.
I printed the snowman faces from a free file on this blog. http://creationsbyk8.blogspot.com/2010/12/snowmen-candy-bars.html



Inside the boxes I put a message under candy so they had to eat there way too it.

I took a 12x12 piece of paper and wrapped it around some cigars and gift certificate. I had to add a little decoration even though it was for a male, I added a candy cane heart.
