Another crayon box

This past weekend was my girlfriend Teri's birthday and what started off as a card, ended up becoming a gift card holder. I know I'm confusing you but I usually know in my mind what I'm making and sometimes I end up doing a total opposite. I started off with coloring this cute girl image from Hero Arts "sending smiles" stamp set but decided that I didn't want to make a card.
Instead, I made this crayon box and punched the happy birthday along the top edge of the box and took out a bunch of different star stamps and stamped the background. I used VersaMark champagne ink because I like sutle backgrounds. This is the same box that I made a couple posts below. The cupcake is a Dandelion Designs stamp. It fit perfect in her hand.
And because we both like pink, everything had to be pink. I recycled the pink tissue from one of my purchases at Aunt Vickies. Can you tell???
Hope your day is going great. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful humpday!

At first I just skimmed your post and then I thought,"Whoa, why would Cheryl give Teri crayons? Maybe there's a new product on the market." LOL! After re-reading your post I realized you used a crayon box die. The gift card box is really pinkie cute. Another good use for the MS B-day punch.

Thanks Cheryl for the cute crayon box. I'm glad that you didn't fill it with crayons, cuz I have alot of crayons, haha! The bday lunch was yummy and we had such a fun time especially getting into the parking lot! LOL! I still can't help but chuckle every time I think about it. I should start a birthday journal so we can jot down all of the birthday lunch adventures every year!! Thanks again for the wishes and your friendship!
