Gift Sets

Here are some gift sets I gave to some parent helpers at school this past week. I got the pattern here, it is so easy to put together, I have used the pattern several times. They easily fit 4 note cards. The designer series paper I used is on the retirement list, so sad to see it go!
SUPPLIES
stamp set: Apple Blossoms (hostess)
paper: Marina Mist cs, early espresso cs, and Pear Pizzazz cs; Greenhouse Gala dsp and News Print dsp
Ink: Early Espresso
Accessories: Ribbon

And when I need a break I will lock myself in my bedroom and skim the internet for new card ideas. That's my plan anyways, we shall see what happens.... Anyways, with the end of the school year comes class parties, school events and teacher gifts. I was room mom for one of my boys classrooms and my co-room mom and I decided on a gift card bouquet for her. It was really fun to put together.
