My own take on the box/bag phenomenon!

In the previous post I shared my mum’s gorgeous gift creation using the box-in-a-bag idea that has been re-created in many varied and wonderful ways!

I was in need of another hostess gift recently (*hi Susan*) and armed with a variation on this idea that I found on Andrea Walford’s INCREDIBLY inspirational blog I made up a larger version of the box/bag/box thingamy -large enough to hold standard sized cards and envelopes :)

Inside I put four cards with matching stamped envelopes – two each of the following designs:

I think this is the final one in my current series of hostess gifts!  I have found some gorgeous ideas for more though, so my upcoming workshop hostesses have some cute stuff to look forward to!!

    Just beautiful Sarah – those cards are so feminine.
    Yet another use for the versatile bag.

    The bag is lovely, Sarah, but the cards are GORGEOUS! Love the colours and the way you have used the Always stamp set.

    The two cards using the Always stamp set are great, I have saved them so I can try and case them. Thanks for the inspiration
