And another birthday card

Hello again. It's like feast or famine around here, I don't make anything for ages, and now I have 2 cards. But I'm posting this one now since I'm going to enter it in the Simon Says Stamp shaped card challenge. If I wait until tomorrow, I might forget or run out of time to write the blog post.

So I finally colored my Tiddly Inks Belinda. Next time I cut her out, I'm going to leave a little white border, I couldn't really cut around her fingers, legs or bag nicely. I finally colored some blondish hair, using the first color combination from Deconstructing Jen's prismacolor hair chart.

Anyhow, pretty simple card. The base is a Spellbinders scallop circle with an old Basic Grey patterned paper called Lily Kate. I added a PTI white banner layered over a spring rain banner then stamped it with a PTI birthday basics sentiment. Ideally the banner would be straight when you open the card, but I adhered the scallop circles together so a scallop was at the top (the card rolled to the side when I stood it up). There is a glitter and sheer flower attached with spellbinder daisy leaves inked with some distress ink. Then I drew in some white dots on the scallops and added stickles. OK, bye for real now!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
