A very speical birthday indeed

As you can probably tell from the lack of updates over the past few months, I’ve not really been in a very creative head space and I’ve just not been able to enjoy sitting down and making something. So rather than force it, I’ve taken a bit of a step back in the hopes creativity and inspiration will return so I can enjoy making handmade projects once more!

However, this week marked a very special celebration indeed – my niece turned one!

So there had to be a handmade card for the occasion. 😀

Card | My Mind's Eye Hooray

Paper: My Mind’s Eye – Hooray, American Crafts – Shimelle
Journaling card and tag: My Mind’s Eye – Hooray
Stamps: PTI – Big Birthday Wishes, Lawn Fawn – Milo’s ABCs, WPlus9 – Whimsy Alpha
Dies: MFT – 1st Place Ribbon, Lawn Fawn – Stitched Journaling card (small flag tail), Neat & Tangled – Scored Shapes
Other: sequins, twine, button, 3D foam tape

Lots of little elements went into this – I started off with picking some papers and accents from My Mind’s Eye’s Hooray line and found a great background paper in that cream on aqua dot pattern from Shimelle’s first collection for American Crafts. One of the foiled decorative tags was just the right size for personalising the card and my collection of flag-tail dies proved most handy for adding the stamped “ONE” and coordinating narrow tails cut from cardstock.

The birthday girl had quite a day and enjoyed her party too. 😀

Thanks for your lovely comment, Donna, it’s a great set and I hope you enjoy making many cups of cocoa…

Great card! I recently purchased this die set so your card caught my eye. Wish I could create with those…

I definitely have! Although I’ve now run out of projects to share until I’m back at my craft desk again.…

Thank you so much Joanne!, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a bit of pink. 🙂

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
