Generally I make sets of five cards with matching envelopes. Usually the insides are completed with sentiments that match the greeting on the front, but sometimes I have left them blank so the recipient can choose the occasion for which they wish to use the card.
Today I am sharing a set I made recently. As the recipient's favourite colour is a spring green, that was the colour theme I decided on.
Here is a look at the complete set of cards with the matching envelopes:
I like to use clear gift boxes for the packaging. I made the birthday tag using some of the left over scraps from the card set so that it matches the card you can see through the clear box.
Note that the "patterned paper" is actually another up-cycled Kleenex box. The silver paper is aluminium foil tape over basic white cardstock which I then embossed with different designs.
Supplies for the gift tag:
Cardstock: Bazzill (the green is very old, it is a smooth cardstock that has been discontinued. I think it was called celery)
Embossing folder: Vine Street - SU, Devine Swirls - Cuttlebug
Punch: Label Love - SU
Die: Accut Cut tag die (SU's new tag topper punch would also work really well)
Misc.: white paper flower (Dollar store find), 1/4" rhinestone, foam squares to mount the greeting, 5/8" white organza ribbon
