Happy 1st Birthday Card

Hi Everyone! Today I'm sharing the birthday card I made for my Great-Niece who turned one on August 4th. I used a modified version of Mary's Card Kaboodle Sketch # 19.

A Birthday Pocket Letter

Hello everyone! I have jumped on the Pocket Letter bandwagon. I think they are really cool, so I made one for my niece, Brooke, for her birthday. It took me awhile to make it and come up with some ideas, but in the end, I think it turned out super cute. In the pockets I've added:

• Washi tape and stickers;
• Ghirardelli chocolates;
• Decals for her nails;
• Shaker pendant necklace with her initial inside;
• Zinnia seeds for her to plant;
• Ribbon;
• Die cutouts to make some bows like the one above the birthday bear die cut;
• Die cut lacy oval to use on a project; and
• More Ghirardelli chocolate (can't have too many of those!).  

I had a lot of fun making this and will make more for other occasions. You should give them a try! I hope you enjoy my project.

Giveaway on this post: Teddy Bear Parade Cartridge!

 

 

Hello everyone!! Today, I am happy to say that I am a Guest Designer over at Die Cuttin' Divas. Thank you, Georgiana, for letting me guest design! This week the challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas is "Challenge #113 ~ Anything Goes". My niece’s birthday was last week so I chose to use her birthday card for my guest designer day. I used one of my favorite cartridges—Teddy Bear Parade (blog candy alert!). The teddy bear was cut using that cartridge. The card base, window and window frame were cut from Lacy Labels using my Gypsy. I added invisible thread to the teddy bear inside the window so she would spin around like she is dancing. Here is my project, I hope you like it.

I am also entering this into the following challenges:
