Truck, Cake and Frog Cards
I spent a little time in my craft room on Friday making some birthday cards.
While my craft room is still a mess I was able to carve a little room out for myself on my table and came up with some pretty cute cards (if I do say so myself).
Using a red and white patterned paper on a red background I put a strip of black with some red ribbon down the middle. I then stamped my images on white and mounted them on black. I colored in the truck quickly with some markers and decided to mount that whole image on white. I used some dimensional eyes and my loader was finished. I then adhered the stamped images to my card.

I made this card out of brown paper and started by taping down a large rectangle of dark blue. I then mounted a strip of blue argyle paper onto another strip of brown and adhered that to the left side of the card. I stamped my image on white and colored it in with colored pencils. I mounted that on brown also and adhered that to the card slightly overlapping the argyle paper.
My last cards uses one of my favorite stamps. I just love this little frog! I used a white card and some green on green striped paper to make the background. I stamped my images on white. I used some glitter on all the pink flowers and the pink heart. I then mounted everything on blue and tied a pretty little bow around the flower strip. Using my word punch I punched a small strip of blue, folded it in half and slipped it around my stamped frog image securing it in place with a black brad. I then used my double sided tape to put everything onto the card front.
I do love a homemade card, I always like our kids to make their thank you letter cards. These are fab, I love the tractor. #RealCraftyLinkParty
