My Littlest had her birthday the other day! I was busy making a banner and her card. I thought I'd share the card with you. It is a pretty simple version.
I have the Peek-a-boo Die for the Big Shot and I thought: who better than my Girlie to do a lift-the-flap type idea for! She was thrilled, even her older sister was keen to peek behind the flaps...
The card is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2. I used Pink Pirouette as the layer panel so I could just stamp directly behind the doors. My timing wasn't allowing for a lot of fiddling. I did texture a couple doors instead of stamping on them, I like the bit of variety...
What could be more important than a card for my baby girl?! Nothing really...Sadly my creativity doesn't become active until the final hours before a 'due' date and by the time I'd finished the banner it was getting pretty late.
Isn't there a saying something like: If it wasn't for the last minute, I'd never get anything done!
(Hence, I'm up late tonight making a few 'batches' of different items to sell at the Harvest Fair the day after tomorrow...ideas are just tumbling around now, despite trying to put some of it together about a month ago...)
Wish me luck pulling that together!
smiles,
Laurie

DeleteI like the idea of embossing those peek-a-boo frames. Was your little girl thrilled when she opened her card?
ReplyDeletecompletely delighted! It was a hit.
DeleteWhat a cute idea that peek-a-boo card is. Hmmnn lots of ideas churning around now..
ReplyDeleteOh, and I like to refer to my last minute work habits as "works well under pressure" I even have it on my resume! I am the queen of procrastination :)
