Birthday and Thank Yous

My youngest celebrates his 2nd birthday tomorrow. How quickly time flies. Got this cute card from Cheryl. It has all these interesting folds and I haven't really seen this anywhere so I'm not sure if it has a name or anything. Maybe she'll blog about it later???

This is how the card opens up.

This is the back side of the card.

The back side also opens up but horizontally. Isn't that neat?

I really liked how the card opened up so I thought I would make a couple but just a simpler version.

My version just opens in the front. I love Fleur Anya from TGF. She is so cute. I cut the scallop square from felt that I bought at Walmart using my new Big Shot. I really want to try the wool felt from PTI though so that's on my next order there. And I do love my Big Shot. It's so easy to use and my youngest likes to turn the handle with me. I'm sending this as a Thank You card for Cheryl. (Sorry, spoiling the surprise). She was so thoughtful to not only remember my son's birthday but also to give all my kids Disney gift cards while we were at Disneyland! Really generous.

Opened view. Yeah, my copics leaked through the paper.

Another angle.

This is the second card I made with Fleur Anya. I've been meaning to send Jen over at Pieces of Me a Thank You card for all the wonderful blog candy but got sidetracked by our trip. I don't want her to think I forgot.

That's it for now. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Wow, I can't believe you already crafted something. I think I waste too much time watching TV. Thanks for the thank you card! I got Ryan a gift card too, but he wanted to save his and only spend mom's money!

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...
