I have to say, this card is my absolute favorite so far!! If you know me personally, you’ll know that this totally fits my personality quite well. =) I will be sending this to my brother and future sister-in-law who just purchased their first home and are getting married in just a matter of days!

I LOVE the stamp sets (supplies listed below) and the paper is super cute too! Can’t get enough of it, I may have to get a second pad of it! And I absolutely love the watercolor effect – I use watercolor pencils and then add water to blend the colors together, and it worked well for the toasts to look a bit ” toasty” and slightly burnt around the edges. And just because I love this stamp set so much, I decided to add a little something in the interior of the card.

Here is the video on how I made this card from start to finish:

Supplies:

This pattern was much too cute to pass up. Meet my little dinosaur:

It took only a couple days to make this one. And the bulk of the time was me procrastinating on sewing those spikes. Details here on ravelry. Loved the pattern. Super easy!

I have trouble finishing projects. I have even more trouble letting go. But mind over matter, it had to be done. I don’t need another handbag, I know I will never actually finish this project, and I could probably reuse this yarn for something else. So here goes (taking a deep breath)…

Here’s what it was, in it’s pre-frogged form:

Pretty, right? Loved the cables. It was supposed to be a cabled handbag. Just to indulge myself, some close-ups of the cables:

And then, here it is, frogged. I had forgotten that I was knitting this handbag with the yarn DOUBLED. I knew it was going to be a sucker to untangle the mess.

Untangling it all WAS a big pain! It took several hours. But it is finally over.

I wonder what this yarn will reincarnate into next? (My favorite part!)
