Hoooooo's Having a Birthday?

This card is actually a *YELLOW BAG from a Celebration pack of bags from Michaels. The bags measure 
4 5/8" x 2 7/8" x 8 5/8", 
and they come 12 in a pack.  I thought it would be neat-o mosquito to make a birthday card out of it.  I just folded it in half so the top of the bag's opening was on the left.  And the bottom flap I folded back and forth so it would easily flip as an extra fun fold when opening the "card".

#178
This is the outside above. You can see how the bottom of the bag is slightly folded and will fold back & forth for the recipient.


This is the other side of the bottom fold above.


And this is the "card" completely open.


There is a tag with some *fiber "ribbon" stuck into the opening of the bag in the above pic.


And here is the tag pulled out.  This is the first time I've used any spray mist for the background. Oh my gosh! That stuff got all over my hands and went everywhere. LOL  Note to Self:  Little Squirts are enough!

Here are all the details:
*Yellow bag from Celebrations pack from Michael's.
Background papers are scraps from K&Co "Greenhouse". (Yep - still using up those scraps!)
Buttons from "Bag of Buttons" from Hobby Lobby.
Twine threaded through buttons from Tuesday Morning.
*Spray Mist background from stash. Not sure where it came from.
*Hoot 'N' Holler cart:
Owl 10 cut @ 3" (burgundy owl outside of card)

Owl 4 cut @ 3 1/2" (yellow owl inside card)

*Lacy Labels cart:
Asian cut @ 3 1/2" and again at 3" with Shadow feature for panels.

Heart 2 cut @ 4 1/4" with Shadow feature.

All solid papers from Colorbok pack from Walmart.
Sentiment clear stamps from stash using StazOn Jet Black ink.

Happy Birthday to you!
