My good blogging buddy Anne, hosted Saturday's Inspiration challenge over on Split Coast this week. She had us looking at the Outer Banks Trading Group web store. I recently purchased a wonderful Gina K Designs stamp set called Gifts from the Sea (check out the terrific sentiments in this set!) - and I was inspired by this beach tote to use my new stamps!
Sand dollars are such a wonder to me.
I made my little bag from a PTI die, stamped the sea gulls and sand images on the front and sponged the edges all around.
I white embossed the sand dollar on Creamy Caramel cardstock and adhered it to the bag with foam tape. I stamped the happy birthday, cut it with an oval punch and adhered that with foam tape. Then I just added a twine bow and some basket shred.
I just love little treat containers, the perfect little box to place a gift for a friend or loved one!
