I made a card for her. I used the Tea Party card from SVGCuts Box Cards kit. Clicking on a picture will take you to a bigger photo in my family album.
I'm happy with how it turned out. I used an embossing folder for the outside panels. I used Stampendous Friendly Phrases stamp for the Happy Birthday sentiments. I used some half pearls I bought on eBay for the center of the panel flowers, but they're way to thick for this type of card. If I was planning on mailing these, I wouldn't be able to use them, they are way too thick. I wanted to use my enamel dots and I know I've bought more than one sheet in the past three years (I love sales!), but I could only find one of them. I used a small dot for the teapot lid hadle, but the colors didn't work with the flowers.
I did find where you can make your own "enamel" dots using pony beads or perler beads (for children) and baking them. I'll be trying my had at this later today. I ordered some perler beads from Amazon and I'm pretty sure I have some pony beads in my beading stash. I know I have some glow in the dark pony beads, I wonder how they'd melt down. From what I've read, the pony beads smell when they're heated and the perler beads do not. And the perler beads take longer to melt. I guess I'll find out.
