"Brown Bag Card" By: ~Vintage Nina~

This is a card I made for my hubby from a brown lunch bag. I absolutely LOVED making this card. I feel like such the recycle girl...lol. On the front I used paper, a vintage playing card, metal corner cap, and a vintage earring (I put "I Love You" in the center).

On the inside I used paper again, stamps, vintage dictionary paper, a face I painted and vintage angel wings. To keep the opening closed on the side I cut a flap on the paper I attached on the front and folded it over to the inside. Then I used velcro to attach the two sides.
This is a closer look at the face I painted. I also added a Delta wing pin......I got this pin when I was a little girl. My hubby is in the Air Force so I thought it was appropriate.


These are all the goodies I made and put inside the bag. I found a feather and put it between two microscope slides and soldered it.
I want to make a brown bag book next. I just love these brown bags and all the cool things you can make with them.
HAPPY DAY!!! ~Nina
