Packing Tape and Dies

 Hey Everybody,

Our challenge today was to use packing tape and dies. Have you ever done this before? Here is a link to the challenge.

I knew what I wanted to make when I read this challenge. My 4 year old grandblessing was having a preschool ceremony. I wanted to make her a card.

 I stamped the crayons which are called Crayon Creations by Spellbinders and added Wink of Stella to them before I added the packing tape. The crayons were stamped first, then the hands, feet and face. It was a cute set to use especially with the cute poses that you could do with the crayons.  I wish I knew what the embossing folder was that my friend gave me. I think it's pretty cool.

Then I die cut the crayons. I also added packing tape to the embossed panel so it too would be bright.  I added the image panel to a Bermuda Bay card base.  The inside has another crayon and says, Sending Love & Hugs

 She really liked this card.  We decided instead of a present that we'd start a tradition and go out to eat together on her last day of school. I love ideas like this where you spend time instead of just spend money on a gift that will be forgotten. Hopefully she will have sweet memories from these times spent together.
