Flippin' Awesome Princess Birthday

Good day!

This was a fun and easy card to make. For my grandniece's birthday, I wanted to make an interactive birthday card with a princess. I decided to pair Magical Dragons and Flippin' Awesome to create this storybook card. The story, which hopefully comes across, is the Princess, Dragon and Knight are going to her birthday party.

This stamp set is adorable and, as I was using it, I thought of so many fun ways to use it in the future. The pattern paper is so fun and bright. I was sorry to hear My Favorite Things is "going out of business". They made really cute stamps that were my cutesy style. I'll miss them.

The Flippin' Awesome interactive element was so easy to use. I love all the Lawn Fawn interactive dies I've tried so far.

Since my grandniece is only 3, I'm hoping the mechanism is easy for her to use. Sometimes, with the littles, I worry about them ripping the cards trying to get them to work. 😂

Thanks for dropping in.

Pop-up Mice Birthday

Welcome back! My granddaughter's 7th birthday is coming up so it's time to try another interactive card. I decided to use my Lawn Fawn pop-up platform dies for the first time and some of their mouse stamps. Last year I made her a card with mice so this continues that theme a little and the mice are so very super cute. I love how so many of the Lawn Fawn mouse sets are the same size and you can mix-n-match them! CASE'd Birthday Mouse Party for the general scene idea. For the mouse flying over on a paper airplane, I attached it to a tiny strip of acetate. The platform itself was pretty easy to assemble but I could have done better getting the most use out of the cardstock. I think I got a bit over zealous with the mice and extras and made the card too busy but it's still cute! Thanks for poppin' by.

Northwoods Summer Thank You's

I needed a few Thank You cards on hand for our neighbors here in the Wisconsin Northwoods. I've used this Thanks die with its shadow on a lot of cards now. I really like the way it fits on an A2 card, whether landscape or portrait. I looked through my pattern paper and ephemera stash for summer and woodsy things. These are what I came up with. Some ephemera still needed to be colored and I'm loving those sunflowers from Gina K Designs! I'll have to use those again. Thanks for poppin' in.

Spring May Flowers

Not a card or paper .... Happy Spring & May Day! My family has the tradition of making and distributing baskets of candy to the neighbors for May Day. While I'm not making the candy baskets this year, I offered to make Spring decorations for the neighborhood sign posts. I found a great wooden cutout company, Woodpeckers Crafts , that delivered 20 flowers, 10 tulips & 10 daisies, within a few days. I used my existing outdoor acrylic paints, masking tape and wipees to quickly paint the flowers as colorful Tulips and Gerbera Daisies. I used a drill press to drill a hole in the tops of the flowers for a metal ring and covered the flowers with Outdoor Mod Podge to protect the wood and paint from the weather. This was a lot of fun, didn't take too long and was a nice break from my normal handmade card crafts. My next painting project will be cutouts for the 4th of July. Thanks for poppin' by! The end product. Painted, shellacked and ready to h...
