Time for Cake Gift Set
I’m so excited to share my latest project featuring a handmade fun fold card and a custom-sized gift box, perfect for small trinkets or even a gift card. For this set, I repurposed the fun fold card base from the Time for Cake Paper Pumpkin kit, giving it a whole new twist! This gift set is a great way to make birthdays extra special with a card that features cheerful candles, and a matching gift box to complete the look.
A Fun Twist on Birthday Cards
Who doesn’t love a card with a little extra flair? The fun fold design adds that perfect touch of surprise, making this birthday card extra memorable. The bright, festive candles on the front bring a burst of celebration to any recipient. I especially love how this design can be easily customized for any style or occasion by simply changing up the colors or embellishments!
Repurposing with a Purpose: Custom Gift Box
One of my favorite parts of this project is the gift box! I used the base from the same Time for Cake Paper Pumpkin kit, proving that nothing goes to waste when you’re crafting. This box is the ideal size for small treasures like jewelry or even a thoughtful gift card. It’s a fantastic way to elevate your card into a full gift set that feels cohesive and handmade from start to finish.
