Shake That Eight!

Happy Friday Everyone,

Thanks for stopping by yesterday for the new Teenage Dream Stamp Release (scroll down if you missed it). Today is my 3 Girl JAM day and I am sharing a birthday card for a sweet 8 year old. 

Here is my Design Team project...

I decided to create another shaker card because I wanted to try and make it thicker than last time (Best Wish Clover). I was quite frustrated while cutting the transparency film and framing the double sided tape, but I think the next one will be much easier.  

 I wrapped the ribbon around the entire frame to hide the double sided tape. Then a bow that combines the new Lemon-Lime and Summer Sprinkles ribbon was adhered to the bottom.

 I figured any child would find pleasure in interacting with their card, so I added green, orange, and frost sequins.

Other Materials:

Fancy Pants paper ~ Summer Soul stack
cream card stock
Elegant Edges ~ frame cut at 3 1/2"

Plantin School book ~ 8 cut at 1 3/4"

Happy Birthday stamp

black ink

Hope you will join us at 3 Girl JAM for March's challenge.There are still a few days left before the deadline.

March 1st - March 28th

Flower Honor

Hello Crafty Friends,

Hoping you are having a great day. I decided to make a card today in honor of Diana's (DL.Art) birthday coming up (this one is not for her...that is a surprise still). Her favorite color is green, so I wanted to use that as the main color. The splash of orange is my daughter's favorite color. They do look good together.  

I really like the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and I seem to overlook using it. There are so many options (see below) for layering and framing.

Materials:

Raspberry Road Designs paper

white and green cardstock

Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge~ oblong mat (p. 63) cut at 4 3/4 - 4"

Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge ~ numerous cuts 

green crinkle ribbon

orange, yellow, and green buttons

white brad

This weekend is going to be extremely busy. Kyle moves home from college for only 3 weeks, we set up for the Eagle Ceremony Saturday morning, the Pampered Chef party is Saturday afternoon, and Sunday is the Eagle Scout Ceremony. What a way to end summer vacation!

Time to get back into a routine!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Good Evening Crafty Friends,

Sorry I haven't been around to much lately. That will change because summer vacation begins soon. I have been shopping at Joanns this past week a couple times since they have most of the papercrafting section 50% off (I just could not pass up the Spellbinders at this price.) and I have been working on more graduation cards. I am not done yet...just a few more and then my orders will be complete.

I used a Totally Papercrafting sketch for a few of the cards, but I think the deadline has passed.
