I really like the Hooray, It’s Your Day Card Kit (item # 139166). The colors are so bright and fun, the masks are great (and can be used long after the kit has been assembled), and I love the “hello” wood elements.
Many creative people, including myself, often push the boundaries of creativity to make something unique. Here are a few additional ideas to spark YOUR creativity.
First of all, I used the mask on a notecard and added my own tag. I wanted to make a card for another occasion other than a birthday. There are lots of greetings from Crazy about You Photopolymer Stamp Set (item # 137137) that work great with the “hello” element. A few Strawberry Slush sequins from the 2013–2015 In Color Sequin Assortment (item # 133631) make this happy card really shine.
Next, I used the starburst mask a second time on our Polka Dot Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bag (item # 135503) using Whisper White Craft ink (item # 101731). This is a fun way to use the coordinating stamp set and elements from the kit to wrap up a small gift or treat.
Lastly, I turned the kit’s matchbook card into a little gift box. To create the box, I scored the card back in half at approximately 2-11/16″. Then I created a second score line on the card front at 2-11/16″ from the original score line. This creates a four-sided box, open on both ends.
I created “ends” on my box by cutting two squares at 3-11/16″; then I scored at 1/2″ on all four sides. I attached the ends’ inside flaps on all sides (except the top flaps). This allows my box to open. Use the edge of the card with the closure for the front of the box.
Whether you need to give a gift, a card, a treat, or just say hello, there are so many ways to show you care with Hooray It’s Your Day!
