Shine Bright Gift Set

Hello!  Today I have another project to share with the Paper House Productions Stargazer collection. This collection is full of gorgeous papers, cheerful colors and uplifting quotes. I especially love that these papers really shine which inspired me to create a gift set perfect for any celebration.

The dimensional shakers were embellished with the cute star stickers from the Stargazer collection. The "shine bright" quote is from a cut apart sheet from the same collection.  It was adhered to the background as the focal point of my card.  The foiled accents are so elegant.

I die cut the "congrats" sentiment and layered it on top of the oversized tag.  The card and tag were finished off with a generous sprinkling of gold sequins.  It was so fun to create a coordinating card to go along with the decorated gift bag.

Trendy Twine Birthday Surprise

Hello!  Today I'm participating in a special birthday celebration for Lesley over at Trendy Twine.  For my project I created a coffee themed birthday card.  The base of my card and doily were all cut using dies from Gina Marie Designs.

The focal point of this card is the coffee cup with a heart from Cottage Cutz which was layered on top of the doily.  The dimensional details of the coffee cup makes it a fun element on my card. The sentiment is from the APB Smile stamp set.  Another sentiment was added to the inside of my card from the same stamp set.

My card was finished off with some sequins, gems and a tiny bow in Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine.  The pink and brown color combination of the twine was the perfect compliment to my card.
