Hello artzy friends… It is time for a new Artzy Challenge!!! This month them is all about kids.

Kids always love birthday parties. For this challenge, I made this 1st birthday shaker card using:

• Rock-a-bye Baby stamp set
• Rock-a-bye Baby die set
• Rectangles Framelit die set
• Merry & Bright Paper Collection
• Totally Black Artzy Ink Pad

I cut out one of the Merry & Bright pattern papers using 2 sizes of the Rectangle Framelits Die to make the frame background. I added acetate plastic on the window with double sided tape and then I added 3D foam tape around it.

Before I added the frame background to the card, I stamped the sentiment directly on the card with the Totally Black Ink Pad. I added some sequins mix on the card and added the frame background on the card.

To decorate the front of the card, I stamped the horse and presents images on a white cardstock with the Totally Black ink pad, and then I dried the ink completely with craft heater. I colored them with alcohol markers.

After coloring, I cut each image with the matching die from the Rock-a-bye Baby die set. I added each of them on the card with permanent adhesive.

It was fun to make this card and this is one way to stretch the Holiday theme papers for non-Holiday project. I hope you like this card. For more inspiration for the Artzy Challenge, head over to D2BA Blog today.

Hello artzy friends… Welcome to our “Support Ukraine Blog Hop”

This blog hop starts at Dare 2B Artzy Blog where you also can see more info about this hope and lisr of participants. Hop along with all of these amazing companies that are part of The Stamping Village and additional contributing companies and artists that are sharing encouragement for Ukraine. A portion of all proceeds from the Dare 2B Artzy sales now through Sunday April 3rd, 2022 will benefit the Ukraine relief efforts.

We have the people of Ukraine in our thoughts and prayers every day. As I made this card, I say a prayer for them, asking God to help them and let His peace guard those people’ hearts and minds in the midsts of chaos.

As inspiration, I used the Ukraine flag colors, blue and yellow, and also the sunflower which is the flower of Ukraine and is the symbol of hope.

The sunflowers are from the Find Your Purpose Stamp Set (by Totally Tracy). I colored them with Altenew Artist Markers and then fussy cut them with scissors.

I added adhesive sheet on the back of a Neenah cardstock and then cut it using Trellis Die for the background. I peeled the adhesive backing and added it on the card.

Next, I cut put a piece of white cardstock using one of the Oval Scalloped Framelit Die and I stamped the sentiment from the Well Wishes Stamp Set with yellow and orange ink pad to get the gradient look.

I added the sentiment label on the card with permanent adhesive and then I added sunflowers on it with thick and thin foam tape for extra dimension.

I hope this card is also encouraging you create a handmade card for someone who needs know that there is someone is thinking of her/him at that moment.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. May you all have a wonderful day.
