Stampin' Up! Hobby Haven Gift Bag
A sweet little self-care gift in soft pink! There's something so comforting about handmade gifts, especially when they're created with a calming color palette and thoughtful details. Today I'm sharing a little bag I made that's perfectly sized to hold a Dove hand cream. It's a simple but meaningful way to share a bit of self-care with someone special. It is a gentle reminder to slow down and take care of yourself. Something we could all use more of. 1. Peatl Pink- 10-1/4" x

Stampin' Up! Purse Gift Card Holder
This sweet little purse is a clever way to give a card/giftcard in a whole new way!
