#Party Time!

Hi All! Welcome to the Rose Blossom Blog Hop celebrating #30yearsofhappy! If you've hopped over from Created By Barbara, you're in the right place. Did Barbara offer up some amazing inspiration or what???  If you're just joining in the hop, you can find a list of participant blogs at the end of this post.

Now on with the projects!

This month I needed packaging for 4 gift cards--3 for girls and 1 for a guy. I decided to go with a little matchbox that's big enough for a gift card and some candy. (I also made some matching  gift bags with enclosure cards.)

Let's take a look:

For the guy gift set, I used the mustache from #30yearsofhappy to make my own patterned paper, stamping it in Black Exclusive Ink on White Daisy cardstock. (He's having a "Mustache Party," so it's perfect!) The box, bag, and card are made from Black and White Daisy cardstocks. I decided to accent the box and card with other stamps from the same stamp set in Glacier and Goldrush Exclusive Inks. I also added a few black enamel stars--white stars would work too.

Here's some close-ups of the box and 3x3 card:

And here's a look at the bag:

Now let's take a look at the girls' set:

For the girls' boxes, cards, and bags, I used Smoothie cardstock and Chalk It Up paper. I added a little Chalk It Up Picture My Life card to the bottom of the box for some fun reinforcement. The sentiments are in Lagoon and Black Exclusive Inks. Let's take a look:

Here some close-ups and a look at the box when it is opened:

And the bag:
