I made this little chick for my niece when she was less than a year old. She’s 5 now and still plays with it! The pattern is from “Just Crafty Enough” Kat and is free for you to make: Free Pattern: Easter Peeps.

Make A Card Monday – My Take – Birthday Card

One of the many crafty things I like to do is make cards. DH jokes that they are “5 hour” cards because it takes me so long to make one. Much of the time is spent on getting ideas and finding the “right” papers and stamps in my mess. I’ve decided to make a few cards ahead of time to explore different ideas.

Many of the cards I see on the net are lovely, but a little frilly for our brood. So this is my take on a Werner Design card.

I had all the items on hand, including the Japanese tape (Daiso) and Compass (A Stamp in the Hand).
Below is the “How To” video from Werner Designs. I love that stamping thingy she has – makes it super easy to position the stamps. It’s on my wish list now.
