Carrying last weeks birthday theme on to today, these two samples feature a mini birthday gift box and card. This small box has been created from a White Birch Wood, and embellished with die cut pieces in our Cherry Wood sheets, as well as, some ribbon, and a perfect size for two fun-sized candy bars. Great for a party favor or add the card to round out a simple gift. For a more masculine take on these two designs, simply swap out the pink for blue, green or any other color.
