With the summer fully upon us here in Oregon and the sun shining so brightly - it reminded me of the lemon trees we had in our backyard in Southern California, and I was inspired to make a lemon themed birthday card.... but I didn't have any stamps or die cuts to use.
So I made my own...
And I came up with this "Lemony Fresh" birthday card.
I like to turn my cards into what I call, "Chunky Mail" cards by including small gifts tucked into the little pockets I design as part of the card. I love to make them color match as I am on the lookout for small mailable gift items while on my shopping outings.
This "Chunky Mail" includes a honey facial mask, a yellow striped bookmark, a sparkly glitter emery board, a lemon designed pen and a lemon compressed sponge (that was in the front gift section at Target one day).
I do hope this gift will bring a smile to the face of its recipient!
Stay Cozy + Zesty,
Carrie
