Hello............Guess what? I'm not making a Valentine! LOL I know...I've made quite a few lately. But this time its A Gift in a Card. Not to be confused with a gift card. 2 different things. The other day I was on You tube....I know right? I need to stay off but I don't. Anyway I came across a Valentine card by Mixed up Craft. SEEN HERE. Super cute but I didn't want another Valentine and I didn't want to do a herringbone design. So I changed it up a bit and made it into a birthday card. I really needed one for a friend so I was eager to jump in. I had this paper pad from Paper Wishes called Peony by Crafters Companion.
I was feeling "Springy" even though our Woodstock Willie said 6 more weeks of winter, so I chose Pink and yellow and green for the colors. Now I decided to put a bottle of wine in it and for some reason I thought it had to be one of those airline size bottles. Enough for just a shot. Well they don't make wine that tiny and I soon found out that the box was bigger than I imagined so I headed out to pick up a little 4 pack of single serve bottles. Fits beautifully. I'm thinking of resizing the card to hold one of those airline size bottles of maybe whiskey for a guy card. The size of the wine card would be way too big.
Anyway here's my card. I like to give my friends special cards with their gifts. They are always so impressed.
So this is one of those cards that I absolutely LOVE! I would love to get something like this and I am so excited to see how my friend likes it. Wonder if she'd mind if I ask for it back? LOL Nooooo...I'll let her keep it but I'm going to make another one right away. I found little bubble baths that are in small champagne type bottles so I'm going to make them as "Just Because" cards. I'll share those soon. If I figure out the small size for airline liquor bottles I'll share that too.
Until later........................
HAPPY CARDING
How much fun is this!! I don't think your friend is going to be willing to part with it!! Awesome work, Susan!!
