I was really hoping to wake up on January 1 and COVID would be a big blur in my rear-view mirror. But it's still rearing its ugly head, is getting worse and just might be around for awhile .. So Celeste and I are trying to stay positive AND stay crafty as we have coffee & cards with you all again each month this year !! We are both healthcare workers and I know that getting creative helps keep us sane in these crazy times.. Celeste was running low on her stash of birthday cards so that is our theme to start off the year ..
I found a page of sweet sentiments in a paper pad and decided to use it for my card - The Best Is Yet To Come. Don't you think that's perfect for a birthday card, especially this year ?!?!?! The paper pad is Turn the Page by Pink Paislee for American Crafts.
The Best Is Yet To Come
- On a patterned card base, I adhered a strip of wood-grain paper across the bottom.
- The cat, chairs, cup and books were stamped on watercolor paper and a blue polka-dot paper. They were then fussy-cut. They are from the fun Waffle Flower "Hello Stampurr" stamp set .
- I colored the images with my COPICS .
- A gold doily was folded to fit in the left upper corner of the card base.
- I added 2 strips of washi tape to the doily, stapled them to add some texture, then adhered the doily.
- The chair, cup and books were adhered to the card base with Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue.
- I popped up the cat on the chair and the sentiment with foam tabs.
Love this fun card and how you colored the kitty to look like Pixie! The Christmas mug is awesome too!
