Surprise

...from a friend...
朋友俏來的...一份驚喜！According to her, this isn't a surprise to me as she confirms my mailing address before she sent the parcel. It reaches me a day before my birthday, this really amaze me!
她說...她把原來的驚喜扭轉了，原因是 ─ 在郵寄前向我確認了我的地址。我還是非常雀躍，當這份禮物呈現在我眼前，而且郵差叔叔還非常用心的在我生日前一天送到我家！

Ta-dah!! goodies behind the package - a handmade card and handmade fabric box. :)
郵寄包裝背後的驚喜 ─ 手作生日卡和時下盛行的手作布盒。Close up for the card design...
卡片及布盒近拍……Further, let's see what have been filled in the fabric box - four pieces patterned linen!
接著，看看布盒里藏了些什麼 ─ 四塊漂亮的亞麻布！This fabric box is perfect! Spongy top covered with linen fabric throughout the box and embellished with pretty lace at the edge; inner was covered with polka dot fabric.
這個布盒真的很棒喔！全盒用了單色亞麻布并在頂部埔棉，邊緣以純白的蕾絲裝飾；盒的內部以白色圓點布覆蓋，手工真的很好喔。

My honour to own these pressie and thank you so much to you - Samantha!
擁有這份真摯的生日禮物和祝福是我的榮幸，謝謝妳Samantha！

Gift Card Holder - Happy 1st Birthday

Just back from birthday party hours ago, and this gift card holder was made in a hurry for my department head's daughter 1-year-old birthday.

I was inspired by Dawn's idea while browsing her blog yesterday, hence I decided to make my own gift card holder instead of using regular "ang pow" package (red envelope).

I trimmed the edge of A4 pink cardstock to fit the cash size and score lines according to Dawn's tutorial and sealed with double sided tape for the 3 sides. Trim & punch the side and red embossing "Happy Birthday" by Heidi Swapp clear stamp on the inner leaf. Printed "Happy 1st Birthday" cut in scallop shape by pattern scissors on the cover and tie the ribbon to complete.

匆忙的完成了這張禮卡就趕往祝福上司女兒一週歲的慶生。

點子來自於Dawn的教學，昨天無意間瀏覽到她的部落格卻激起我動手的意念。於是決定自己弄張禮卡來取代一般用紅包袋的俗氣。
