Summer Birthday DTC#61

Hi there!  Welcome to my blog.

This morning I sat down at my crafty dining room table to make a card for the newest Double Trouble Challenge.

They have a Tic Tac Toe Puzzle Challenge 

to get you started

and are partnering with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge.

 

 I needed one more birthday card this month, which gave me a theme.

I almost forgot to mention that Twisted Sister would like to see a lot of bling.

 Keeping all of that in mind, I started to make my card.

I always look around my table first to see if there are any scraps I can use.  There sat a pile of fabric scraps, leftovers from some masks I've been making.  I picked up a piece of material with pretty summer daisies on it and proceeded to put together this card.

I think I'll send the mask along with the card.

It has a pretty green fabric lining and is reversible.

My friend will like it, I'm sure.

Fabric fancy fold cards

This past Thursday I spent the morning in Paradise.

Quite literally, I was in Paradise, PA.

That is the location of Farmhouse Memories, an old farmhouse filled with fabrics and card and scrapbooking supplies.

It was my first time taking a card class there, and I thoroughly enjoyed the class and a bit of shopping afterwards.

Here are photos of the two cards we made:

This is a vertical joy fold card using fabric flowers.

The bottom multicolored panel is fabric, too.

Good thing I like fussy cutting!  The rose buds were pretty small.  But check out the next card....

This is a box card.  All the frogs, butterflies and flowers were cut from fabric.

Back of card.

Here you can see the layers inside the box.

There are more pictures here on the Farmhouse Memories blog.

And here's a simple birthday card I put together yesterday, here at home, using a few scraps.

The Happy Birthday die is from MFT; the glitter "2U" were cut on the cricut. 

The kitty with cake was a freebie stamp from a magazine.

 My friend had a box of stamps she was giving away and she let me go through them.  Of course I saved this hat stamp!  As a member of the Red Hat Society,  I'll enjoy using it.
