Heartfelt Wednesday...

 Here's a little gift bag I created using some of the Basket collection and the AWESOME flower background stamp!!!  It's actually a poinsettia background set but it works so well as an everyday background too!!! 

 This little pocket on the front can hold a tag or a gift card (or CASH). 

 Did a little stitching on the "pocket" to give it a little more finishing and also to hold the front flap down without the use of glue. 

The little tag was stamped with the basketweave background and then cut with the basket die.  It is snipped along the edge of the handle so it can slide on and off of the bag.

So on to my creation...

This is a special fold (kind of gate fold) card that is double sided. When mailed, it is folded together and the basket is placed on top.  The whole card is then tied with a ribbon. 

When open, the card can be viewed in two ways: 

View 1: 

The two flower panels are displayed here. 

View 2: 

This is like the "inside" or back of the card.  When the flowers are moved to this side and the flower panels are moved inwards, you see the inside which is stamped with the basketweave backround and has the sentiment stamped in the upper portion of the card. 

Here's a closer look at the basket details:
