Layla's Birthday Card
All together now...awwwwwwww :)
Dress attached with jewelery loops |
So, the card is made out of folded light pink cardstock to give it some weight so it doesn't fall over. I then used the same patterned paper I used here on Meagan's card. I searched through my chipboard embellishments, which I'm totally guilty of not using very often. They are, for the most part children themed, and since I don't have kids, don't really have a use for them ALL that often?!?! SO I went with a green & pink motif (obviously) based on the chip board I liked. I thought the dresses were cute, and decided to "hang" them from a "clothesline". Sadly this faboosh idea happened AFTER I have already applied the ribbon to the card with glue dots.....
I pierced the chipboard with my poker (technical term) and inserted the jewelry loops. Then I pierced a small hole in the ribbon (which was easy) and painstakingly threaded the jewelry loop into the ribbon so it would literally hang. I did attach the dresses to the card front with adhesive. I didn't want them rattling around for a 1 year old to pull off the card and swallow!
On the inside I printed an easy to read message, mainly so Ava (who's five) could read it aloud. Yes, I used purple sharpie! Then I recycled my heart idea from here to add a little more to the inside of the card. It was too boring without it.
While I was stamping the hearts I had another great idea.....I could use the heart stamp as a balloon!!!! So if anyone would like to try out a card challenge, it is to make a balloon card using hearts in one way or another! Looking forward to seeing what you can create!!!! I will post my heart balloon card next week!!!!
