Birthday Tag into a Card

Hi everyone!
I hope you are doing well!
Today I wanted to pop in with a fun card that I made for my daughter's birthday.


I made half of this card back in 2019 lol!
Let me explain...I created a tag in 2019 with every intention of using it as a tag. 
Recently while going through my card stash, I came across it just sitting in my card drawer patiently waiting to be used lol! I needed a card to give to my daughter and I still loved the tag so I thought I would take the tag, make a couple of modifications and turn it into a card. 

Here is a picture/link of the tag before:


To create my card, I snipped off the RicRak/twine and created a little white bow, adhering that over the hole. I created a card base and used a scallop rectangle die to cut out my pink patterned paper. Luckily I still have the patterned paper pad so it was super easy to match up a background paper. Once I had that adhered to my card base, I trimmed down a piece of vellum and attached my tag. I hid some foam tape behind the tag and added the vellum piece to my card front. I added a few white Nuvo Drops and some white enamel hearts to complete the card.


I think this ended up being so cute and was so happy that I was able to take a tag, that I loved, and turn it into a card that I ended up loving even more! Win Win!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Don't Froget...

Hi everyone and happy happy Friday!!!
It's almost the weekend...yay!!
It is supposed to be a rainy one on my area but that's ok, more time to stay indoors and craft right?

Today I wanted to share a super fun shaped card that I made.
 

As soon as I saw the new release from The Greeting Farm this month, I knew I needed the adorable frog stamp set in my life haha!

Here's how I made my card:
I started by creating my card base. I used an older die set, circa 2013, from Spellbinders that I haven't touched in years! I honestly stumbled across it while doing a little purging lol!
I scored and folded a piece of white cardstock, used the largest die to cut out my shaped card, leaving a small amount of the die hanging off of the top to keep my cardbase in one piece. I then used the dies to cut out 3 different patterned papers, popping up the top 2 layers with foam tape. I doodled around the perimeter of each layer for a little visual interest. I stamped out that adorable frog and colored him with my Copic markers and used my Scan N Cut to cut him out. I popped him up with more foam tape and added a few white puffy hearts.


This is a smaller card, measuring around 4.25" x 4.25" at the largest dome side so there wasn't a lot of room for the sentiment next to the image on the outside. That's ok, I just added it to the inside. 

I think this is so cute and it will probably end up as a little lunch box note to sneak into my hubby's lunch. I love doing that!!

Copic colors used:
--Frog: G40, YG61, YG63, YG67--
--Log: E23, E25, E27--
--Leaves: YG05, YG07, YG63--
--Flowers: Y11, Y13, Y15, Y18, YR09--

Hello My Friend

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!
I hope you are doing well and have some fun plans for the upcoming weekend!

Today I am stopping by to share a card that I created using a new digital stamp from


For my card, I covered the front of a white A2 card with some floral paper and rounded the opposing corners. I used a Stitched Dome Frame die to cut out my white frame, as well as the blue gingham background, and added them to the front of the card. I printed out the Ivy Rose image using some white Hammermill cardstock, cut her out using my Cricut and colored her in with my Copic markers (colors listed below). I added some white polka dots to her bow with a white paint pen & popped her up onto my card with foam tape. I die cut the "hello" from pink cardstock, adhered it with more foam tape and added a sub-sentiment underneath.


I think she is so sweet!

Happy Birthday Monkey!!

Hello everyone!!
I hope you are all doing well!
It's been awhile since I have blogged, and I've missed it!!
  I have been recovering from surgery on my right arm and am finally able to slowly get back into crafting. 
Today I wanted to stop in and share a cute little mini slimline card that I made for my Grandson's 2nd birthday!! I don't know how he is already 2 but it has been an amazing 2 years with him in our lives!
He brings so much joy...yup my Mimi heart is full!

Here is a look at the card that I created for him...


This stamp set from Pink and Main was perfect for my card!
Here is how I made it...
I started by creating a mini slimline from white cardstock and covering it with some striped patterned paper. I die cut a scallop rectangle using a die from Spellbinders, once in white and again in green patterned paper. I trimmed down the green to act as my ground and adhered it to the bottom, set it aside and went to work on my critters. I stamped my images, colored them with my Copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added them to my scallop rectangle to create my scene and stamped the sentiment in the top left corner. I popped my scene up with foam tape onto my cardbase and added a few details with a white paint pen to complete my card.


I think this turned out so cute!!
Perfect for Mimi's Monkey, yup he is a climber lol!
