Pinwheeeeeeel!

Im a kid at heart. I have a thing for pinwheels. I've been dying to make a pinwheel card and after finding some inspiration on pinterest, here is the result. I added some dimensional pop dots on the outer edges to make it look like it was really coming of the paper to spin around :) The pattern is from an "All Boy" Paper Pack. I tried to capture some of the super boyish words for the pinwheel to really capture the BOY aspect of this birthday card... this one shows "jump" but out of the four cards Megan and I made for this set, others included things like "crazy" & "dirt"... definitely things that describe MY little boy :)

Shellibrate!

This amazing set can be found at The Stamps of Life! Stephanie Barnard has the cutest design. They are so fun to use :) My crafty partner in crime Megan and I have been in a crafting frenzy. We have made so many cards lately--and out of everything--I'd have to say that this is one of my favorites :)

The paper is a miscellaneous pattern w/ glitter accents I had laying around, along with some coordinating solids. I used some green/white bakers twine and a button to finish things off... and of course some glitter for the shell ;)  What can I say... this girl loves sparkle! Stamp set is "turtles2love".

OLW87--Think Outside the Box

Yesterday, I found a fun challenge for One Layer Wednesday that was totally outside of my normal crafting box. Its very rare for me to do something so simple.. and for this challenge it had to be a shaped card. Nothing square or rectangle was allowed. It also had to be a single layer (one piece of paper folded in half, or for this challenge due to the shape, two pieces glued together to make the card). My inspiration came from one of my favorite stamps made by Raisin Boat called "Undies in a Bunch".

 

And the finished product....
