So...it feels good to finally be able to get my hands crafting again and decided to start with a card for the current Caardvarks “Shape Up” challenge.
I got the idea during a recent visit to AC Moore when I saw some Jolee flip flop embellies and thought…hmm.
I traced my foot to make a template.
I knew I wanted to use ribbon and flowers.
The back strap “evolved” after I attached the bow and has a button glued to a brad to look a bit like a snap or a clasp...of sorts.
It took a while to find a cute saying but I immediately liked the “happy feet wear flip flops,” which I got off the internet and it gave me the idea to turn it into a gift card holder…for a pedicure!! The rest followed from there.
The stitching was added for a little ump and is open at the top to slip in a little gift card, which I forgot to add before taking photos!
I had a lot of fun making this card.
While searching for cute flip flop sayings, came across this cute idea for offering flip flops to bridesmaids or female guests at a wedding with the following poems…
"All night you've been on your feet,
"All night you've been on your feet,
Dancing to the music's beat,
But don't sit down and admit defeat,
Kick off your heels and enjoy this treat!
Compliments of the Newlyweds"
and
"Bought new shoes to match your dress
and now your feet are sore?
Help yourself to a pair of flip flops
so you can dance some more!!"
