Now to share what I created for the blog hop today with you! 

Cardgredients:

For Always Paper Pack

White Daisy Card-stock

Black Exclusive Inks

Nestabilities Die

CTMH Black Grosgrain Ribbon (NLA)

Clear Sparkles 

 3d Foam Tape

Tombow Adhesive

The Card measures 4.25x5.5

I trimmed the script for always paper to 4x5

wrapped a ribbon around the card, tying a knot in the side 

securing the paper and ribbon with Tombow adhesive.

I used some scrap paper and inked up my stamp and stamped the image,

 then using a nestabilites die ran it through my cuttlebug. 

I popped it up off the card using 3D Foam tape.

The sentiment is stamped on a piece measuring 

1.25 x5.5 in black ink and then I added the Clear sparkles to the side.

For this little Gift bag I had a muslin bag on hand stamped the fruit image in Slate Exclusive Inks and the sentiment in Honey Exclusive Inks. I love the simplicity of the look and the color combo of this. I plan on putting a gift card to Starbucks inside and gifting it to a friend.
