Balloon shaker card

Hello there! I think happy days are days filled with rainbows and ballons. Don't you agree? :)

This shaker card is filled with Taylored Expressions' Little Bits - Balloons. I used the Taylored Expressions 9th birthday sketch (Happy birthday TE!):

One thing I need to remember is that scraps maketh scraps. I set out to use up some scraps and I really feel that I ended up with... more!

I have been building a stash of cards to send to Send A Smile 4 Kids Canada. This will be added to the pile and sent off shortly.

Happy holidays

Hello! There's (still) 130 days until Christmas 😁

I quite like this Christmas card. I randomly stamped snowflakes to create a background, and used the YNS Christmas Chickies paired with a sentiment from Lawn Fawn Winter Penguin. For some pizazz, I created a tiny wire coil behind the chickie, but it's a bit on the short side to be wobbling much.

Again, I was inspired by an old Mojo Monday sketch and the current YNS colour challenge:

Christmas chickies pull tab card

I had fun making my tea bag (faux-) pull tab card recently. This card is a proper pull tab card where the chickie can happily ski back and forth.

I love those chickies from Your Next Stamp! The Merry Christmas was heat-embossed three times so it stands out.

This card is for Christina Hor's Cards for Little Hearts card drive.

Tea bag pull tab card

This is my card #5 to the 2017 summer coffee lovers blog hop - a personal record!

Where's the coffee / tea, you ask?
 

Under the top layer, I hid a Stash tea bag that is attached to a pull tab. I thought this would be a fun and interactive take on the clean design (which is a CASE of this card).

I used two layers of foam tape in a C-shape around the tea bag to form the slider area, and taped the tab to the tea bag. Happy day and enjoy!
