The Perfect Homemade Gift – A Greeting Card Gift Set

My neighbor downstairs is an excellent cook and likes to share her goodies with us. I wanted to make something to thank her and since my cooking pales in comparison to hers, I thought greeting cards were a better option.

I made four different card types and a gift bag; all featuring an image from Di's Digi Stamps. This first one is a multipurpose Bonjour (hello) card. As we're coming into autumn, I made this one fall themed. The image is Di's Digi Stamps Autumn Stroll (retired). I have quite a few autumn cards made with Di's images; this acorn boasting squirrel card is another past favorite.

Paper is a magazine freebie with Graphic 45 Time to Flourish behind. Bickley font was used for the sentiment. Some bronze dots dress it up. 

Stay tuned for cards #2 - #4 plus the gift bag!

And just an aside...I noticed as I moved this post from draft to publish it that it's my 1000th published post!

  3. Congratulations on 1000 posts! *insert firework emoji here* Such an adorable card! That image is so sweet and the papers are perfect. Also, the bronze dots totally look like lil acorns (to me anyway, especially in the first photo).
