A Pretty Gift Set For A Special Occasion

Good morning friends~  I made this gift set back in February, to celebrate a dear friends special day, and I never got around to posting it.  As it turns out my dear friend Marcia, over at Color Hues is starting a new challenge using these colors, so I thought this would be the perfect time to post this project.

The deliciously sized cupcake die is from Pretty Pink Posh.  I added some sweet polka dotted lemons from Spellbinders because every project should have some polka dots.
 
The treat box is made using a die from Sizzix.
 
I found this striped gift bag in my stash which coordinated perfectly with the papers and cardstock colors I used.  A simply doily bag topper and bow was all it needed.  

And finally, a framed piece of artwork using stencils and dies from Altenew.

 

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Color Hues ~ Blue & Yellow

 Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
 
Thanks for stopping by!

When I first saw this card in the gallery this morning I thought "Hey, that's just like my birthday card!", only to read your post and find out it really is my birthday card! How fun that my color pairing was the exact same one you used almost 3 months ago for my birthday...our minds really are thinking alike! The little treat box (minus the lemon candies!) is still on a shelf above my crafting desk and the framed flower picture is off to the side of my desk where I see it every day! And your sweet card is on my big bulletin board in my craft room....you're everywhere in this room my friend! Thanks so much for sharing all these lovely makes with us at Color Hues...you made my day!! Hugs. :0)

Oh, WOW! What a wonderful gift set, Birgit! The box of sweets, the framed piece, all those wonderful polka dots -- love! The card is fabulously cute, a fun arrangement, beautifully balanced. I wonder what's in that pretty bag with the doily topper? I get colorful polka dot bags from my vet and save them all. They make very cute gift bags. What a wonderful set to receive!

Wowee, so many lovely blue and yellow projects! I have to agree, one can never have too many polk dots. Your polka dot lemons are the bee's knees and I'm loving your fabulous framed project! Well done, Birgit!

I thought this looked awfully familiar! I really enjoyed seeing all this loveliness in Marcia's studio, Birgit! Lemons and yellow are among her favorite things for sure!
