Free as a Bird Gift Bag

I'm here to help with inspiration for spring-themed crafting!

My friend’s birthday is coming up so I created a card using the Free As A Bird set.

I wanted her Gift Bag to match so I used the same images to make a Tag and to stamp a store-bought bag.

This gift bag set would be perfect for Easter too!

I hope you’re inspired to give it a try
