Handmade Paper Hugs

  Hello everyone! All good things must come to an end and today I'm sharing my last card for Poppystamps as I've chosen to step down from the design team. To me butterflies symbolise change and growth. And although it's a diferent change this time, I funnily enough used the Beautiful butterflies Sidekick frame for my first card for Poppystamps as well. But now the time has come for me to spread my wings and fly. Hop on over to the Poppystamps blog for details on this card... Or have a look at my first card and check out the details for that  here . Thanks for stopping by! Tina

Hello everyone! This without a doubt is my biggest project to date. And I'm so happy (and proud) of how it turned out. See this young woman on the right, a family friend (picture published with permission) asked if I could create 30 invitations for the christening of her daughter. No problem, right! She really liked a bokeh background I did a while back - man, did they take a long time to create. My arm was falling off by the 30th 😆 I had the layout all figured out. Background and label cut with Simple and Basic dies, cutie batootie MFT elephants colored, MFT Baby rattle and Altenew In-line alpha's cut. This year however, we've all been affected by a certain virus. So they've had to delay the christening. And now it was conveniently close to her 30th birthday, so she'd really like for me to add that. What a challenge it was to get this just right. I wanted her to love it, but perhaps more importantly I wanted me to love it. To be proud of it. So I came up with this...

Hello everyone! Today we're kicking off the August challenge over at AAA Birthday challenge blog and the theme is Tic Tac Toe. As you can probably tell I went with rainbow, window, patterned paper. I used Lawn Fawn paper and cut out using My favorite things Birthday Boy & Girl die. For the glittery background behind the window I used a left over piece of black cardstock that I smeared a layer of Ranger glossy embossing paste over and then sprinkled over with WOW! Sparkles in Your carriage awaits. I adhered this to the base and popped up the patterned paper for dimension. The images are from My favorite things Unicorns & glitter. I colored with Copics and stuck to primaries red, yellow and blue. I stamped a sentiment as well as a few stars. I popped up the images for dimension and it's all done for my daughter's birthday in a couple of weeks. She loves everything rainbow and unicorn. Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to hop on over the AAA Birthday blog ...
