Please scroll down for my Make It Monday and Pollycrafts Monday DT posts!
Hi everyone! Many of you know that I am a huge fan of Torico, the illustrator of Birdie Brown and There She Goes stamps. Well, today is her birthday and a gang of some of her biggest fans thought it would be fun to do a blog hop showcasing the birthday cards we have made with her gorgeous designs!
And not only that, we are all giving away some candy to a lucky random commentator on each gang member's Torico birthday post! Before we get onto the candy, first here is my card for Torico!
I have used one of Torico's new Cupcake Star and I kept it very simple to showcase this cute digi! I used a Craft Concepts embossing folder to give the card some depth, a little twine for interest and for the inside I used papers from the My Minds Eye Alphabet Soup collection. Now here is the list of everyone on the hop!
