Birthday Presents

Hi, hope you had a good weekend.

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and our lovely Carolyn has set us the challenge of making a birthday card with a number on.

 

 

 

 

I machine stitched around the parcels. The DP has a fabric look and feel to it (although hard to see in the photo).

 

I also made another one out of different papers.... 

 

 

 

I used Birthday Bash at 5" for all cuts except the numbers which were at .5".

 

 

This was a bit of a challenge for me as I usually do shaped number cards for children, so I wanted to do something different! I did check with the birthday girls who will receive these that they didn't mind their ages on their cards!!! Hence the numbers are subtle! Lol.

 

Do check out the DT's projects and come and play along.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

 

13 Today!

Hi, hope you've had a good week and have some fun plans for the weekend.

 

My little boy becomes a teenager today and I have no idea where the years go!

I have made him a special golf card ( of course!) and then realised Pan (our little dog) hadn't made him a card...and she always does!!

So this is what she came up with....

 

 

Birthday Bash for the numbers cut at 4"

Embossed, gilding wax and diamond sparkles added.

Vintage banner die, More of my Favourite Sayings, All Around Holidays(star and pressie) all from My Creative Time.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend.

 

And to my gorgeous son...

 

Happy Birthday Ossian

Love you Loads

I am entering this over at Bitten By The Bug for the My Pink Stamper sponsored boy/masculine challenge. I wrote his name on the little tag. The reason I chose the llama cut is because in my mind the ll looks like 11! I know..but it works for me.Lol!!

I am also entering this over at My Creative Time, Throwback Thursday challenge is to use a kid friendly cartridge and a kiddie theme.

Separate to the challenges here is the card I made for Ossi from me and his Dad.

It is a massive 6 x 12" card.

Thanks for looking.Have a great day.

Happy Birthday Ted and Lorraine too. It's been a busy cardmaking week :)

                                                   

Snail Mail

Hi,how are you all doing? School finished yesterday,so the first day of the hols today.
Managed to grab an hour in my craft room and was showing my parents my Imagine.... and I actually made my first card with it!!

I had cut the card base and snail from Birthday Bash on my expression and decided to cut the snail on my Imagine mainly to play with the background papers. But I really liked how it turned out, so added some embossing,inking and 3d foam.

I am entering this over at My Craft Spot - challenge #18,emboss it. Thanks for looking.

Hugs,Jayne
