Did not get the download for happy birthday tags.
Oh my! That’s a problem that shouldn’t have happened. Check your email for the attachment and thanks for visiting. I hope you make the birthday card and I would love to see it!
Same thing happened to me
Oh my! My apologies as that shouldn’t have happened. I will take care of it.
I didn’t receive the tags either. I did it three times.
I didn’t get the download either.
Signed up but instead of tags got a pdf or papercrafting info. Not exactly what I wanted. Cute cards though.
Thank you for reaching out. This tiny glitch has turned out to be a bigger issue that I have fixed. Please check your email as I will send you the tag pdf that you were requesting.
Glad I found this card inspiration. Needed a quick one for my hubby and what a great use of scraps. Thank you,so much! I’ll try to leave a pic under ‘photos’ on Pinterest.
Awesome! Using paper scraps is my jam and every card will be unique. I hope your husband loves the card.
Maybe a stupid question- but how do you tie the twine into a bow shape? Love this card idea!
Great question! The simplest and easiest way is to tie the twine around a thick needle or bamboo skewer. Slip it off and then tighten the bow. I hope you make this card and would love for you to share it on Pinterest. Happy card making!!
I did not receive the Happy Birthday tags.
The birthday tags are still not working.
As a true beginner, not ready to invest in circuit machine at this time will the recommendations you list to purchase be beneficial if I don’t have the machine?
Many of these supplies and tools are useful for basic cardmaking and simple paper crafting projects. Shop the list and choose items that fit in your budget. Many of these tools will last a long time so they’re a worthwhile investment. I hope you enjoy this fun hobby!
