This weekend Brooklyn had a birthday party to attend. Something that I think always makes a wonderful gift (or addition to the gift) is a set of thank you cards. In a very short time I was able to make up a total of 8 cards like the ones shown above! They are single layer cards with just a little bit of stamping and the background applied with a brayer. These took a little longer than some others that we give simply because the rhino was precisely perched atop the sentiment.
There was definite precision involved in the stamping -- thank you Stamp-a-ma-jig for getting everything aligned! Once complete, I placed the cards in a cello bag and tied on a bit ribbon -- festive and simple wrapping. My original plan was to place them in a Tag a Bag bag but alas there is not a single one at my house...time to order more!
We did pick-up a large paper gift bag for the main gift and we decided to decorate it using some of the Zoo Babies garland that I have from the big Zoo Babies party collection I shared a couple weeks ago. Here are a couple picks of Brooklyn ready to go to the party:
The garland was attached to bag with a couple of full size clothespins -- easy as can be!
