My MTTC #559 DT theme is Giant Dog-Ear Topped Tag Shape Card for 2 May 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

post's purpose/why: Within this posting, my newest manager/DT commitment project for MTTC or My Time To Craft is featured. #559 is within a set of themes requiring a specific shape base for card(s). Each DT member has a turn suggesting a shape. DT member Wendy has asked for a tag-shape. 

when: MTTC #559 starts May 2, 2025 and lasts for 13 days

what: Hello Sunshine Giant tag based card

notes:

1. heavy kraft cardstock cut to 5" high x 4.75" wide; at each top corner I measured and marked on the back side towards the top center 3/4" and then down the side to 1 1/4" then with ruler matching those points did a pencil line for cutting...this was to make the 'dog ears' = Colorbok

2. neon green, neon yellow and neon orange cardstocks faded from scanning = Astrobrights/Neenah

3. "Hello" and "sunshine" clear stamps from sheet of expressions = Crafter's Square

4. large butterfly (layered print plastic shapes); 1 of 3 pack = Crafter's Square

5. gold metallic glitter decorative tape = old stash item

6. behind the butterfly, the 'sun' is recycled kraft/back side tissues box that has a layer of red-orange colored pencil, a layer of orange glitter paint pen then topped with a metallic gold waxy/gel highlighter = stash items

7. black ink/stamp pad = Hero Arts (also used to ink-edge the cardstocks)
