30th Birthday Card

8/26/18

A card I designed at the request of my youngest sister. A friend and co-worker of hers was turning 39 and is also a big West Wing fan. My sister was happy with the result as was her friend.

So happy with my company stamp!! The baby on the stamp is myself at 6 months old. The 'Megsy Wegs' of my company name, was inspired by a childhood nickname given to me by my father.

I went to a friend's Stampin' Up Camp, to learn how to make these beautiful gift tags and gift bags. Stampin' Up has a great paper punch called the Corner Trio Punch. We were able to give the corners of the tags a unique look, that just added a little something extra to the tags. We used Stampin' Up stamps and punches to make the tags, along with Stampin' Up cardstock. The plain brown paper and white paper gift bags, were purchased at the Dollar Store. We again used Stampin' Up stamps, punches and paper, to decorate the bags. It was great working with such a talented group of people, who are also friends. I loved creating the tags and bags to give to my loved ones for Christmas. Homemade is best :)

Peppa Pig 'Fairy' Card - I made this 5 x7 card for a friend's daughter. For the white background, I used a 4x6 piece of white cardstock. I then ran it through my Cuttlebug, with a flower embossing folder. I had a template of Peppa's head, which I traced onto pink cardstock. I used a 1" circle punch on a darker pink cardstock, to make Peppa's rosy cheek. I drew the snout, mouth and glued on the wiggle eyes. I made the crown, Peppa's dress, hands, wand and wings freehand. I used a mini-star punch to make the star on her magic wand. I made this while at a Scrapbook Retreat. I was delighted with the outcome and hope my friend's daughter will be as well.

September 14, 2015 - Here are two cards I made in recent weeks, I'm pretty proud of them. For the top card with balloons, I used a 2" inch circle punch to make the balloons. I made the lip of the balloons myself by cutting out two triangles freehand. I used glitter markers to make the shine that appears on a balloon, when sunlight or artificial light hits it. For the background, I used an embossing folder (Cricut Cuttlebug), to make the flower pattern. I then used a glitter pen to add some sparkle to the flowers. I glued the twine to the back of the balloons, then tucked the excess twine under the background piece gluing the twine to the back of it. I glued the background piece to the card, then added the Happy Birthday sign.

The second card I used a banner die cut (Lawn Fawn), in various sizes. I punched out a 2 1/2" circle punch and stamped it with a clear stamp (Penny Black Clear Stamp Set, Betsy Bluebell). I used Copic Markers to color the stamp and added a clear stamp quote (Fiskars).

August 2, 2015 - I can't believe I haven't posted anything since November of 2014. It's been a busy year. Here's a tag I made for wedding shower favors. I combined two clear stamps, to make the teacups and hearts. I wrote the saying freehand. I used a 3 1/2" scallop punch and a 3" circle punch.
