My "gift box" is a pretty pink card base. For contrast, I used bright pink cardstock strips as "ribbons," each edged with a narrower strip of silver cardstock for some sparkle and shine. Instead of stamping a sentiment on the cardfront, the longer strip was die cut with the "happy birthday" border die from Lil' Inker Designs before it was adhered to the cardfront. Every gift needs a bow, so the finishing touch was a die cut mini bow with stitching detail placed just where the two bright pink strips intersect.

Happy Birthday with a Bow
Here's my card for the current challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches. As soon as I saw the sketch, I thought of an elegantly wrapped gift, so that's the feel I tried to create on my cardfront.
