A Card and Gift for a Dear Friend's Birthday

I hope that everyone is doing well. My family and I just back a few hours ago from a 3 day trip to Sequioa National Park and King's Canyon.  We had a nice and relaxing time away.  Stay tune for some beautiful pictures in my next post/  :)  For today before I turn in for the night I would like to share with you what I made and put together for one of my dear friends for her birthday.  Here is the card that I made for her using one of my new stamp sets.

The eskimos are my friend and I.  I decided that it would be fun to wrap up her gift using an Asian theme.  I saw the idea to wrap up gifts from Martha Steward using Asian newspaper.  For the first part of her gift I used a flower magnet from Daiso to put in the center and added some gold string and a red strip.

For the second part of her gift I just decided to keep it simple.

I like how both of the gift wrappings turned out.  I was a bit bummed though that I decided to make my friend her card before I wrapped her gift.  If I did it the other way around I would have made an Asian themed card for her. Just to cheer me up a bit my hubby mentioned to me that eskimos are Asian so I did make her an Asian themed card like I wanted to.  He is correct.  Of course don't tell him that though.  LOL!  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope that everyone had a good weekend and will have a blessed week ahead.
