After making the Birthday Party Package for my friend last week/early this week...when was that??? Anyway - my brother's birthday was a couple of days ago, so I made one for him. I bought a few sheets of this Star Wars paper at the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo a year or two ago, thinking I would use it for him.
I made this huge envelope out of an entire sheet of 12" x 12" paper. I love that nothing goes to waste!
Inside is my "birthday party package". It's a 6" x 8" cellophane bag with a cake mix/icing pack, balloon, and candle inside. Add a decorated bag topper to that, just to fancy it up. I didn't get a close-up of the topper - but you can see, I used a lot of different stamps on it. I wanted a lot of different fonts saying "happy birthday". I also mixed in some shapes. The yellow moon-like image makes me think of the line, "That's not a moon..."
I stuck with Basic Black, Smoky Slate, and Crushed Curry for the color scheme.
I did get a closer picture of the card and tag. I LOVE this Ewok stamp from Ink Road Stamps!!! It's from a set called "Furball", and I think it's adorable. I hand-cut him out, and added him to card. That Crushed Curry background is embossed with an old Stars embossing folder. The diagonal stripe came from my 12" x 12" piece. It was the part at the end that had writing on it. It worked out perfectly.
For the tag, I embossed it with the Coastal Weave embossing folder, and then added some die-cut letters. It is beyond cool using the Adhesive Foam sheets. I'll have to remember to show this in a video soon. All of those glittery letters are raised up. I love it! Finished that tag off with some Silver enamel stars.
I hope you give it a try. It's so fun putting these together!
