Birthday Wrap Inspiration

Hello and welcome to the second group post for the November  Papertrey Ink  Release! The new products you are seeing here will be available in the store at Papertrey Ink on November 15th at 10:00 EST!

I have some fun birthday themed projects to share with you today! The team is showcasing For You Stamp set and dies by Lizzie Jones, Basic Cut Tag Die, Window Cut Tag Die, and Wrap It Up Dies.

Since I am so in a Christmas mood right now, I decided to do a Christmas themed birthday! I have several friends who have birthdays in December and even a couple who's kids birthdays are on Christmas day! This would be so perfect! 

For my first project, I created a fun little gift bag using the new Wrap It Up Dies. I love them!! The bow looks so real, and I adore the stitching! It creates the cutest little wrapped up package! I used some paper from the Holiday Plaid paper pack for the box, then Pure Poppy card stock for the bow. I created the little box with the same tutorial that I use all the time. You can find it HERE.  It's easy and fun, and I love it! 

After I had assembled everything, I cut the Big Basics: Wish Big die out three times, glued those together and glued that down to my package. 

DIES: Wrap It Up, Big Basics: Wish Big

PAPER: Stamper’s Select White, Holiday Plaid Paper pack

Next I made a card using the new For You Stamp set along with the Big Basics: Party Tie die, and a few other Christmasy things. The trees are from Tiny Town: Holiday Yard, and the Candy Canes are from Sweet Holiday Wishes.

I added a little strip of Pure Poppy + White patterned paper underneath the Pure Poppy card stock for a little interest. The candy canes are layered over a snowflake from the Fancy Flakes Dies.

STAMPS: For You, Sweet Holiday Wishes

For my last project, I created a matching tag using the For You stamp set, For You Dies, Window Cut Tag, and Basic Cut Tag. I cut the background die out of the red polka dot paper,  the middle of the tag is cut with the Happy die that comes with the For You Dies, and the green layer on top is cut with the Window Cut Tag die. These are really fun with the way you can layer all the pieces!  

Then I Christmas-ed it all up with some greenery from Winter Woods, Candy canes from Sweet Holiday Wishes, gold stars from Star Scribbles and a big snowflake from Fancy Flakes!
