Fun with a barista name badge

A fun mini project: decorating a name badge for my favorite barista! I had done one for the holidays but now that the holidays are over,  a new one was in order. Since it rains a lot in winter here in western Oregon, I decided on an umbrella. But with Valentine’s Day coming up soon, I wanted to add some hearts. I found a cute paper with green hearts on it so I die cut the umbrella out. But somehow the light green hearts didn’t show up enough so I grabbed my markers and colored on top in pink. Then added a heart on the other side of the name tag. Here’s how it turned out:

Look for a barista with a tag like this at your local coffee shop. Tell them you saw the blog post❤️

PS Here's the holiday name tag I had made: 

Sending Good Wishes Paper Pumpkin Kit 2022-07

I somehow can’t seem to do the Paper Pumpkin kits when I first get them. It’s typically months later when I finally get around to making them, if at all! (The exception was last year’s HoHoHo Christmas kit). I don’t get them every month, only when the theme appeals to me. But I still have a backlog of Paper Pumpkin kits needing to be created. So hopefully this is the start to using the kits up: here are the cards made with the kit from last July:

 

I think part of the special finishing touch to a hand made card is adding something inside the card as well as on the envelope. You can see the envelopes in the photos and the same images were stamped inside as well. Such a fun kit!

Sunshine & Rainbow DSP cards

Reorganizing my craft supplies recently, I came across this DSP pack, which was a freebie with purchase during Salebration I think last year at this time! I thought it was high time to create with it. 

I wanted to create a cheery get well card for a neighbor who had an unfortunate fall recently and was recovering from surgery. Thought this DSP pack would fit the bill perfectly! I picked two coordinating prints, selected Polished Pink as the card base then fussy cut the rainbow and clouds from other sheets in the DSP pack. Added the sentiment and some rhinestones and this basic Z-fold was the finished product:

So once I got this first card Z-fold card done, I created several more, some with get well wishes and others  for birthdays (it’s always good to have something in one’s stash of cards!) 

 

This Z-fold card design is pretty basic but if you’re a new card maker and would like some measurements to help you create this type of card, please contact me using the side bar link. 

Thanks for stopping by. Hoping you’re inspired to create something fun today.
