Dragon Happy Birthday Teal Card

Dragon Happy Birthday Teal Card

Hello everyone! We are excited to start crafting again. January started out quite busy, but we did get a few cards and projects worked on during the weekends, and we are so glad we are able to get them posted. We both received lots of fun crafting supplies and we can't wait to use them all! 

My mom was inspired by the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Challenge- Simple and clean, decided to create this magical dragon birthday card with Paper Rose Studio paper, an embossing folder, and My Favorite things Magical dragons stamp and coordinating die set.

Here is the card:


She used:
  • Paper Rose Studio Stormy Seas Shimmer Cardstock 
  • Blue cross hatch Designer paper and a cross hatch die
  • My Favorite Things MAGICAL DRAGONS
  • Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink Cubes Blue Seas
  • White and black cardstock
  • Alcohol Markers 
  • Gold Ribbon and gems for embellishment







...and that's it! 


Happy crafting to you all! We hope you feel inspired to create something!
