Con~Quackulations! Note Card

 Hello Really Reasonable Ribbon Lovers...and Happy Friday to Y'all!

Misty (@Mommyofkidz) here today sharing a super quick little notecard with you.



Have you ever taken a cruise on a Carnival cruise ship? If you have, then you may be familiar with the "Carnival Cruisin' Ducks"game.  Everywhere you go on the ship, you may find a duck that has been hidden by another cruiser.  Basically, it is a real live Duck Hunt...but with toys.  My notecard today is inspired by my most recent cruise...which I just got home from a few hours ago!!!  

Usually I have found larger toys, maybe 2 inches in size.  They are easy to spot and easy to re-hide. 

This tiny little ducky, however, was NOT at all easy to spot! As a matter of fact, I completely missed him and my friend picked him up and gave him to me.  He was the cutest little thing, so I kept him rather than re-hide. 

Normally the ducks have little tags attached with information letting you know who had hidden it, but this one was so tiny and there was not a tag at all.  Of course, the crafty side of me began thinking on how to hide these tiny little duckies, but still have a tag. 

Most of the ducks have tags similar to this one...



                                        This one was too tiny...but then it hit me... A tiny notecard!! 

When I got home, I puled out my crafty supplies and I set to work! 

A simple 3x3 notecard was going to be perfect...but I wanted it to be cute, too. 

Some Gingham Ribbons would be perfect! For this, I decided to use 

3/16" Plaid Ribbon Assortment  (yellow)

but you could also order the two assortment packs and have lots of the gorgeous plaids to work with and make tons of these tiny notecards! 

Once everything was glued in place, I added the tiny resin heart mixed in with my resin beads that I used for the bubbles. 



Of course, for the purpose of hiding on the cruise ship, 
All of my information that I wanted to share is on the inside of the card.
Now, this tiny ducky his can be tucked pretty much anywhere on the ship, and the finder can let me know!!!

As you can see, I went WAY overboard (no pun intended!) on this.
Not many people would spend this kind of time making a tag for a duck to hide on a ship. 
However, this is also perfect for a baby shower note card, a baby's first birthday, or anything else..

I was thinking of doing one with the tag...
I Ducking LOVE you! (Ha Ha!)
I Quack Myelf up!!

Perfect for an off beat Valentine's Day Card! 
Just change out the sentiment on the tag and DONE! 
I honestly had a lot of fun making this little note card!
I hope that I have inspired you to get crafty this weekend...If you do, I would love to see what you create! 
Tag me on IG @Mommyofkidz! 
And if I am honest, I think I will make a few more of these for the young ladies that I know that have babies on the way while I am making some for my next cruise! 
Head on over to Really Reasonable Ribbon and grab the Perfect ribbons for your next project! 

Thank you for stopping by, have a WONDERFULLY CRAFTY Weekend!
