Birthday Cards with Watering Can Hang Tags

Happy Monday, everyone!

Glorious spring weather has finally arrived and is finally sticking around! Yeah! Aside from paper crafting, I don't think there's anything better than being outdoors and enjoying all the beauty of nature. I mean, what can be lovelier than all the springtime blooms?

So, with spring flowers on my mind, I decided to create a couple of birthday cards using Deena's Watering Cans Hang Tags. Aren't they the perfect images for this time of year?

You will get three different images with this downloadable and will also receive them in two different sizes -- for a total of six images to a page. For my birthday cards, I used the smaller images which measure 2.5" x 3.25" in size. I printed them on white cardstock and then cut them out -- doesn't get much easier than that!

I used white cards as my base and layered each one with a panel of green and white polka-dotted paper. The green color is really cheery and is a wonderful background for those tags!

After adhering the tags to each card, I added embellishments to each. For this card I attached a green wooden flower and a "birthday wishes" panel.

I added a black and white ribbon to this card, which gives it a touch of country charm!!

These cards were so much fun to create! The watering cans and flowers were the perfect theme for cheery birthday cards!

Birthday Card with Sepia Swirl Flowers

Hello and Happy New Year!

Winter has just begun, but already my mind is on flowers! Deena's Bottle Cap Images - Sepia Swirls provided me with the perfect opportunity to create a lovely floral birthday card.

The bottlecap images are not something that I have worked with very much, and I thought the new year would be a great time to explore some new creations. 

I love the Sepia Swirl images because they appeal to my love of vintage and they are so striking with the black floral image against the sepia script. There are six different one-inch round images -- and you will receive six of each on a page.

For my card, I punched out four different images with my 1-1/4 inch punch. I like the white border with this size punch because it really makes the images pop against the kraft paper flowers that I adhered them to. I cut out stems and leaves with black card stock and glued them to a kraft card that came with a panel of canvas stitched to it. I glued the flowers to the top of each stem.

I attached the Happy Birthday panel to the bottom corner and adorned that with two pearl embellishments. The color of this card is so perfect of this time of year -- the flowers are so sweet but they don't look out of season.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Wishing you all a wonderful New Year!

Three in One

Hello everyone! Welcome to a new week!

Today I'm featuring Deena's Printable Gift Card Envelope - Birthday.

This image is really sweet and what's great is that you get two gift card envelopes on one page. I used one image for the gift card and I created a coordinating birthday card and tag with the other one. Three items from one downloadable!!

The gift card envelope is super-simple to make. Simply print, cut, fold and glue. It really doesn't get any easier. So cute!

I used the larger part of the second envelope as the feature on my birthday card and the smaller image for a tag. The gift card envelope easily fits inside the birthday card. Or, you could place it in a gift bag and attach the tag to the handle. 

I like that I was able to make use of both images from one page! How fun to have a coordinated set, too!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great week!

Birthday Card and Gift Tag

Hello again everyone!

My post today features the Altered Cupcakes Hang Tags that are SO cute and colorful. I thought they would be perfect for a child's birthday so I created both a birthday card and matching gift tag.

With these printables you will get 6 tags (three different images).

After printing the page of tags, I cut out two of the same images. I used pink card stock and brown ink that coordinated perfectly with the tags I selected.

The card features Happy Birthday stamped in brown ink, a chip board piece also edged in brown ink and strip of colorful rickrack. The rickrack was a perfect embellishment because it matches the image on the tag. Before I adhered the tag to the card, I tied a piece of twine through the top added a sparkly gemstone to the to top of the cupcake. These embellishments really add a festive flair!

For the gift tag I glued it to piece of of the same pink card stock that I used on the card. I punched a hole at the top of the tag and tied a piece of twine through it. As I did with the card, I added a gemstone and tiny pearls. I think it makes a fun presentation!

There are so many possibilities with hang tags and I hope you enjoyed the idea I showed you today. For more great hang tags be sure to visit here.

See you soon.
