This post is almost 4 months overdue. That seems to be how I roll lately, ha. This is a card and gift I made for our niece Taylor, who turned 18 this past November. It’s so hard to believe! She was born pre-mature, a little fighter from the beginning who I believe weighed under 3 lbs! I have seen her grow up from a rambunctious, talkative, sweet little 4 yr old to a beautiful, still talkative, **dramatic and sweet young lady! Taylor has hopes of becoming an actress, and I do believe she would do very well at it** wink.
Here is a picture of the birthday girl at her party. We all went to San Antonio to the Magic Time Machine, it was a fun time. She squealed with delight when she saw the Zebra card, scarf and fingerless gloves I made her because she LOVES Zebra. It was real easy to make the scarf, I just put 2 layers of fleece wrong sides together and sewed down the middle then cut 1” strips on both sides. If I make this type of scarf again, I would put sew more than 2 layers of fleece though, to make it more fluffy.
When I asked Taylor if she was getting lots of use out of the scarf and gloves, she said, “yes I am , I love them Sooooo much ! They go well with my pink boots ! Ahhha”
The card was made using Gina K Designs Jumping for Joy stamp set. The cardstock is Passionate Pink, White and Black Onyx pure luxury. I stamped sentiments & confetti from the set onto the pink layer and the ribbon is black gingham.
I just love it when I can coordinate my handmade gifts with my handmade cards – it makes it that much more special.
