Hat Card

I am so sorry that I have been MIA for so long. As I mentioned last week, I have been swamped with making samples that I can’t share just yet. I promise to share them as soon as I can. When I saw this super cute card on the All Things Great and Crafty blog, I knew I had to make one too. I came across Barb’s blog by accident one day and really enjoyed what I saw. She has some cute stuff posted!

In any case, my MIL’s 70th birthday is on Monday and she collects hats, so I knew this would be the perfect b-day card for her. I didn’t have a template so I just made my own by cutting a standard sized A2 card. I covered the front with some patterned paper I had in my stash from (I think) an old Die Cuts with a View Mat Stack. Then I used some Papertrey Aqua Mist Stitched Ribbon to wrap around the middle of the hat. I used a CTMH Big Pinks Flower with a CTMH Window Charm in the middle. Before I adhered the Window Charm, I stamped a piece of Papertrey’s Aqua Mist Cardstock with a sentiment from Papertrey’s Mixed Messages stamp set in black ink. Then I put the self adhesive Window Charm on top and cut around it. The card was quick and easy, but think it turned out kind of cute.
