My husband is re-turning 21 tomorrow. Seems like only yesterday he returned 21 last year! I am excited to celebrate with him and our family but I’m also excited to have a reason to play with my NEW stamp set, Hoppy Birthday (D1597). This is one of 5 sets of stamps released EXCLUSIVELY for Australia and New Zealand by Close To My Heart. You can view all 5 sets by clicking here.
I have a small gift for him… something he really wants but it’s just the one gift. I wanted to make it look a bit special so decided to make my own gift wrap with a matching card. I used a sheet of good quality copy paper as my base and wrapped the present so I could see the crease lines. This meant I could centre the feature stamps on the top of the package when it is wrapped.
I only coloured the one image on the top of the package so it really stands out. I left the rest as outlines.
My card was super quick to make using strips of washi tape and a triple mount for the stamped image. Another couple of stamps on the envelope and the gift looks fab. Have some fun with this idea – it would work nicely on plain gift bags too.
Looks great Shaunna, I never would have thought to use this set fro a grown up, but for someone who wants to relive their younger years it is ideal! It’s nice that we can celebrate our special birthdays, like 21, so many times 🙂 In a weeks and a half I will be 23, for the second time.
