Hi everyone!!! Happy Thusday!!!I have a fun (and easy!) project to share with you today!!
As a card maker, I think it's quite ironic that I NEVER have Birthday cards when I need them! You would think I would have a whole big stash...not so much :) I decided to decorate one of the amazing Perfect Packages from Taylored Expressions and make a "b'day box" full of Birthday cards so I will always be prepared (well...until I use these and run out...LOL).
For both the box and the coordinating cards that I created, I used the FABULOUS Garden Party Project Pantry Kit by Taylored Expressions! This kit is AWESOME and I just love the colors and the paper (72 and Sunny by We R Memory Keepers) and my favorite part of this kit is that it is PEFECT for masculine and feminine cards!!! BONUS!
Both the Perfect Package and the coordinating cards (I made two of each for my b'day box), all feature images from the same stamp set, the fabulous Sweet Celebration by Taylored Expressions!!!
To create the title of my Perfect Package, I used some fun Thickers in Bumble Pink. Now, the pink didn't really coordinate with my project, so I simply colored the letters I was going to use with a red Copic Marker! It was SO easy and I LOVE how they came out!! Using the Thickers, I put "b'day" on the top of the Perfect Package, and "box" on the front flap! SO fun!!
All the layers on the Perfect Package were sewn on my sewing machine, and the image was cut out and embossed with Rectangle Nestabilities. I even used some of the dots from the Thickers, also colored with a Copic Marker, to mimic the look of brads!!
All of the cards that I made to house inside my b'day box Perfect Package use previous Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenges. Did you know that Taylor has her entire Sketch Book on her blog? It's an awesome resource! I printed it and put it in a binder that sits on my stamp desk. I use it all the time for inspiration and layouts!!

I LOVE that all of the cards are totally gender neutral!! I also LOVE that I have a stash of Birthday cards now, and all in a cute box too!!! grin!
