31 Days of Crafting - Day Nineteen - Peppa Birthday Card

Happy Thursday all!  Today I'm sharing a Peppa Pig birthday card I made for my niece. This coordinates with the banner I shared earlier in the month.  I love projects for kids they're so fun.


The card was big so I made the envelope too and added a few stickers.


I used a page torn out from an activity book for the main image on the card.  The cloud paper is the same background I used on the banners and then I added the happy birthday die cut layered with glitter papers.  Soooo cute and my niece loved it!

31 Days of Crafting - Day Sixteen - Bloomin' Hello

Happy Monday!  I've got a simple but pretty card to share with you today.  I really love this card because I created it from an ad I got in the mail.  I not only love recycling, but I love turning "junk" into art.  I mean, that flower is gorgeous, right?

31 Days of Crafting - Day Seven - Peppa Pig Birthday Banner

I LOVE making party decorations!  Banners are so much fun and they give the party that extra special touch when they're personalized!

This was for my niece's birthday, she obviously had a Peppa Pig party.  I used stickers for the characters on the banner and this was a super fast way to make it look fabulous. The font I picked for the letters was based on the font used on the Peppa Pig social media accounts to announce the birth of Peppa's sister Evie!

    31 Days of Crafting - Day Six - Reasons to Celebrate

    I was going through an old box that was a total hodgepodge of shit and in amongst the bills and expired coupons (RIP Bed, Bath and Beyond), I found this colored image.  I honestly don't know where it came from but it looks like Mi Ran's work.  I used to love her stuff!  I finished it off and made this card.


    A few challenges for this fun card:

    31 Days of Crafting - Day Five - Light Up Grinch Block

    Christmas in February!  This was such a fun project I made recently with my mom and my aunt.  We had a full on Christmas event the day we made these.  We crafted, had dinner and dessert and watched Christmas movies.  The holiday season is always so busy and it's really fun to continue celebrating afterwards.



    Here's a picture of all of our blocks.  I'm gonna make another one soon for my boyfriend.

    I love sharing all kinds of crafts in the month of March.  I think all art matters!!  (Now I'm hearing One Tree Hill in my head!)

    31 Days of Crafting - Day One - Mini Slimline Mickey Shaker

    HAPPY NATIONAL CRAFT MONTH!!!  Shout it from the rooftops everyone!  This is my month.  This is my industry's month.

    The past few years have been rough on us artists and crafters.  So I'm going to create as much as I can and shop as much as I can.  I plan for it because it's important to me.

    I started trying to craft and post every day of the month back in 2015!  Eleven years and counting!  Check that unicorn card out.  I don't even know what those dies I used ARE!

    My first non DT or IG Hop card this month is a mini slimline Mickey shaker tag, so freaking fun!

    **CASE ANOTHER CARD FROM THIS HOP** My Favorite IG Hop

    Greetings crafty friends, this week on “My Favorite Hop” we are CASEing a favorite card from this hop from another designer. We love to support each other and this was the perfect way to give a friend a spotlight. We will be sharing our version of their card and a screen shot of their card so you can see how we were inspired.

    I was extremely excited about this theme because I am so inspired so much of the time by other card makers. I wanted to choose a card to CASE that was unlike something I had made before.

    This is the card I made.

    This is the card I CASEd.


    I searched through so many amazing cards before I finally chose this fabulous card from @thecraftacularcreator I loved how it was an atypical shape or size (I made mine close to a slimline card) and all the pink! Thank you Vicki for the fabulous inspiration!!!

    We create fun and inspiring projects, and hop along every Sunday at 12 noon EST, so if you would like to join us and share a craft featuring your “favorite”, please contact @sarae.furr_thecraftyfarmchick .

    **MAGICAL SYMBOLS** Fantasy Inspired IG Hop

    Hi everyone! Welcome to the Fantasy Inspired Instagram Hop! Here, you will find cards inspired by various fantasy based themes! This is a monthly hop on the 1st Sunday at 10 AM CST – please message @bkeeleycrafts for more info if you’d like to join.

    This month’s theme is Magical Symbols!

    I have all these Celtic border dies, bought because they give me Charmed vibes. I love how cutting them out is foiled cardstock and gluing them on a patterned paper made this card come together just like that.

    **ANYTHING GOES** New Challenge with Morgan's Art World!!

    Happy Sunday everyone!  It's the first of the month, and that means it's time for a new challenge at Morgan's Art World!  This month I'm working with Fantasy Fae 28 and as always our challenges are

    ANYTHING GOES!!

    It's also NATIONAL CRAFT MONTH and I am 150% in the crafty mindset to get lots of projects done this month.  I wanted to stay monochromatic with this card and use a new favorite paper pad. I feel like the pearls and gems really elevated the card.
