CARD# HPJ-2016-07: Special Day

Hello! Here's a little something that I made for a colleague, a friend and advisor's birthday. I actually made this last February because he went to Australia before his actual birthday on March 1st.

It's a triangle trifold card with a shaker belly band. I had fun making this. It was pretty cute and he really liked it especially the chocolate bar that went with it. He had to go directly to the airport after work and that little Kitkat bar saved him from total hunger. Heh.

CHALLENGE #10: Make Your Own Buttons

CARD# HPJ-2015-10: Hearts

Hello everyone! I know you might be wondering where card #9 is. The challenge was to use bleach, but unfortunately, the only kind that we have at home is for colored clothes. I tried using it to stamp an image on a piece of cardstock, but nothing happened. Tsk. I would need the regular one. I guess it will have to wait until I get my hands on a bottle of the right bleach.

For now, I am showing you what I came up with for the tenth challenge. I had to make my own buttons. I have these rub-on stickers that came with an order a few months back for free. I transferred the images onto a black cardstock, punched some holes and coated each image with crackle paint. I then cut the hearts out after drying. I tied a length of baker’s twine on the ‘buttons’ on the front of the card and left the third one as is. 

I adhered the hearts on a die cut with foam tape for dimension and used lace trimming to close off the triangle trifold card.

It was another fun and simple project. If everything works out fine on my enrollment today, I’ll really try to finish off three challenges. Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful evening (or day)!
